Awesome looking inlay!

 

[bobpard]

the label for the cart too, may need to have a play with the dimensions still though

 

[thgill]

Any update on receiving the SD2SNES boards?

 

[r0jaws]

Actually Todd, there is.
At long last the final set of cartridge has arrived!
I have just finished packaging them all up, and everyone who has been patiently waiting should now have an email with postage costs.

 

[thgill]

Wooohooooo!!

 

[diskers]

No mail as for me...

And me too now I need to get a tool to open up a nes cart

Do you know the biro trick? You can make a gamebit from a biro. Its an oldie, but goodie

Never known that to work properly. Infact I had to take a power drill to a gamecube recently to drill out the half inch of rock solid melted garbage that a previous owner had tried to use to open the case up with.
I gave it a go years ago, and after getting nowhere just forked out the couple of quid it cost me to buy a set of gamebits.
They are dead handy for all sorts of cartridges and consoles, so well worth it TBH.

Just to let you know, the biro trick does work and I have never had it leave a residue.

I don't think I'm doing anything special.

Just remember the plastic doesn't have to be on fire, just pliable.

Yeah, when I tried it it didn't leave a mark (actually on a US Snes as well) but the plastic is such a soft material any pressure exerted on a tight screw would bur the edges over. In the end I am glad I bought a gamebit.

 

[ikduncan]

Me either ?

No mail as for me...

 

[r0jaws]

@ikduncan, I'll send you a PM.

@thread, all those that have paid for postage, I sent your packages off this morning.

 

[diskers]

Yeeesss

 

[jaymzwise]

Yes !!!
Thanks r0jaws !

Already have a normal grey cartridge case for mine, but does anyone know if the black NES cartridges can be used for the Everdrive?

 

[Jamma]

SD2Snes turned up yesterday, black cartridge modified to fit after a bit of dremel action. Works a treat, so quick!

R0jaws thanks again for sorting this all out. Some top drawer order management.

I now have access to all the NES and SNES games I never had a chance to play.

 

[r0jaws]

Thank you, you're all welcome.

@Brookstermax, you have the dubious honour of being the very last person still waiting for their card. I have sent you 2 emails and a PM.
Let me know what you want to do buddy.

 

[BrooksterMax]

Oops sorry r0jaws, I'm going to reply now

 

[showbiz]

I just received mine. Thanks a lot r0jaws! :beer:

 

[r0jaws]

It was a nice feeling earlier today as I posted off the final cartridge to it's new home with BrooksterMax.
Starting way back at the beginning of February, it's been a long haul but hopefully a worthwhile one.

89 Cartridges to 61 people from 14 countries worldwide, saving a total of $2079!

Thanks a lot guys. Without your support and patience, we wouldn't have been able to do this. I am happy to say that so far this has completed with the minimum of difficulty and that as far as I am aware every cartridge that has left here has found it's owner.

However, so as to not tempt fate further, I will leave the thread open in case of any difficulties that people have.

Thanks again guys, it's been great.
