Nice one Keropi! I have been spending a lot of time looking at similar devices recently and have made a little investment!! I will pop some pictures up when it arrives :-) :thumbsup:
Got in another haul on Sunday, going through all of it today! I gave the guy $50 for delivery of it.
So far found:
Hardware:
Boxed stock Commodore A1200 with 80 meg drive- box is "generic" White/blue Commodore box (rough shape) -looks like just the "A1200 manual" is missing, all 3.0 disks, all other books, mouse there. nothing in expansion bay. Nice and white
Boxed Stock A500, has 2 1.2 disks (I believe on 2 disks were with 1.2) all manuals there, a tad yellowed, but not bad. Nothing in expansion bay.
Boxed Commodore branded 1084 monitor (white "generic" commodore box-good shape)
Yellowed Commodore C64C- just loose, no PS
3 Commodore 1541 drives- 1 regular, 2 1541C, 1 yellowed (manuals with- no boxes)
1 GVP DSS8+ with book disks etc.
1 generic External Amiga floppy.
6 assorted Joysticks
Software:
Besides about 500 Amiga floppies (including at least 3 BBS packages), I have found 4 Vic 2o carts, 3 Vic 20 Cassettes, another 100 or so C64 floppies (including a few BBS packages)
Books and boxed games:
A bunch of assorted hardware manuals, Sim City for the Amiga, Wayne Gret. hockey, TV sports football, Tennis Cup.
I still have a few more boxes to go through, but looks like 50 DEMO disks (spaceballs etc)
Thanks! Even though it does not come with a case, it will fit in a standard SEGA Genesis cartridge. I'm going to look through the games I have and find the least valuable one to cannibalize for its case. :twisted:
I've only tried a few Genesis/MegaDrive games on it so far and it's working OK. I tried Sonic & Knuckles game that had a neat video saying "No Way" because it was not plugged into another cartridge. I'll figure out a way around that some time. :D I may try a few SMS and 32X games tonight.
@Keropi
That's wonderful! You'll have to let us know what you think of the cart. I love mine!
@GazCBM
Can't wait to see what you bought. :D I've been trying to get flash carts for all my retro gaming systems. I really want one for the N64.
@quarkx
Wow! That's quite a haul. I might be interested in getting some of that BBS software from you if it is still readable. I'm thinking of running a BBS on my Amiga again for fun. :D

There's still quite a lot of BBS software available on Aminet. I used TronBBS (now to be found as TrionBBS) in the past - it's a shareware package very much like and compatible with Xenolink. It's written by a Dutch guy who still does some Amiga work - maybe you can still obtain a keyfile from him!
@McVenco
Thanks! I'll try to look him up. I would want to run some good Door games because I think that would be one of the biggest attractors for people to use a BBS now. :)
Take care,
Heather
Sonic & Knuckles brings up that screen if you plug a non-Sonic game into the pass-thru connector on the cartridge (It's designed for Sonic 2 & Sonic 3 to plug in to it)
It's also worth noting the message, the first three are "NO WAY!" but the fourth one is "NO WAY?" -- A subtle hint... If you hold down A+B+C on this screen, you get to play a random Sonic 3-style special stage. If you plug in Sonic 1, you get a whole game full of these special stages!
Thanks AndyLandy! I actually figured out from the video that it was a pass-through cartridge like you said. The sad thing is that I think I actually have the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge so I should have known that! LOL!
I didn't know about the special stage though. I wonder if I can use the pass-through cartridge with the Everdrive-MD... Could be a neat experiment. :D

@Heather:
Glad to see you got it working. I wonder if this is a better investment than the Megacart. The Megacart costs the same.
@Keropi:
Congrats on getting the SNES Powerpak. I absolutely love both of my Powerpaks (I have the NES one too). I hope RetroUSB makes more flash carts in the future.
Sounds absolutely familiar, I loved doorgames as well. Too bad the phonecompany loved them as well - I've had quite some spicy phonebills back in those days....
If you like doors, I'd also suggest MaxsBBS. It's not as powerful, expandable and highly comfigurable as other BBS packages, but there's quite a lot of very nice doorgames available for it...
