Post here everytime you get something new!

I'm currently trying out all the top line whey protein products... up this week is Pro-optimal... tasty! and bloody expensive :(

I bought Yakuza Dead Souls for the PS3 and i think it's much better than Lollipop Chainsaw :). I also bought FEAR 3 for the PC, but i can't seem to find any active multiplayer matches :(.

Since i've never had the pleasure of the SNES till recently, what are some of the consoles better titles to try? Have tried Pilot Wings, Mario Kart, Street Fighter & Donkey Kong Country but looking for some others. Don't really have a favourite genre, willing to try pretty much anything :)

The Master Everdrive is also working fine but need to find a donor cartridge for it.

how easy was it to fit the chip in the end?

@Bobpard, fitting the chips (2 chips and a clock generator) to the everdrive was actually very easy. Just pop the chip in place, holes are already there on the everdrive board and were empty on mine, and add some solder to the legs on the other side of the board. The board is silk-screened to show which way round to install the two chips but not the clock generator. I found out which was this went through some instructions posted by an Australian ebay seller.

The hardest part was removing the 3 pieces successfully from the pilot wings cartridge with my limited soldering skills. I managed to remove the smaller 74HCU04 chip and clock generator relatively easy but broke 3 legs of the dsp1 chip when removing it. Luckily there was enough of a stub of the legs left for me to bridge it when installing it on the everdrive. First game tested was Pilot Wings which worked fine, then Super Mario Kart which again worked fine.

Can take a photo if wanted?

i have no soldering skills what so ever, may be best for me to stick to using the original carts for pilotwings, mariokart etc. There isnt that many games that use it are there?

Theres a list of unsupported games (games that use custom chips) here

I bought a KCS Power PC Board today - It should be really handy having a full XT PC with SoundBlaster & Adlib Support inside my 500+ :D
