Turbo/PCE Flash Cart SPECIAL

[Turbo D]

I'd definitely be interested in getting a 128mb card!

[quoth09]

So what is going on with this? No posts in almost a month...

I would definitely be interested in getting one as well, and especially as a group discount, since it drops the prices down to 119$, rather than 149$ (I really doubt that we could find 50+ people here to buy these  ). Everyone seems to be ranting and raving about them, and they look like an awesome idea.

Does Dean already have a solid plan in place to purchase the 128MB's, or?

Do we even have 10 people interested yet anyway?

If there's going to be another group buy I would like to get in on it. I missed out on the first one.

[spenoza]

Yeah, I could be interested. Any news on this front?

I'm gone for three days and already I've counted 4 new users just in that time period. Sheesh!

Anyway, Dean will be organizing the next group buy. He seems to be in hibernation currently, I expect him to resurface when it warms up a bit.

Just a random question here, and by no means disrespect to anyone, but WHY are you people waiting around on Dean?...
I mean seriously, it seems a LOT of people around here do that, when plenty of you are capable of getting a group together and buying a lot.

Is there anyone else here, willing to get something together faster? He's working on his game sale list, no telling when he will be done, or ready to do this.

If I could be sure that people would buy them from me, and I wouldn't be stuck with the things, I would be more than willing to buy 10 of them (possibly more depending on how many people there are) outright, as long as people pay for shipping out to them as well, so basically I'm not out any money. The 30$ difference in price on one for myself, versus buying just one alone, as a reward of doing the whole thing is more than enough for me.

By all means, go ahead.

I think folks were waiting on Dean because a) he's a trusted name and b) he announced a while back that he was going to buy a bulk of the 128M carts.

I'd do it, but I helped organize the last group buy and I don't really need another flash cart.

Since we have no ETA on when or if Dean might resurface and be ready to go, if someone else wants to step up and do the deed, be my guest.

I think that is what Quoth was referring to,buying the 128 meg ones. I told him alot of people had the 64 meg one,so if anything the interest is in the 128 one. He could just as easily do this for everyone and help shave off the wait time if people were interested.

Say, does anyone know where I can get the software for these?  They seem to come in small 3" CD's which aren't well liked by my slot-loading drives.  Right now I've got the 64 meg paperweight.

You should be able to find 'em on their website, but it'll take some hunting around on their convoluted train wreck of a site.  If you come up empty handed, let me know and I'll rip mine and upload it.

About how many games are you guys storing on a 64meg flash card?  I'll buy someone's 64meg one if they want to put that money towards a 128.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

It's limited to 63 games, but they'd have to be only 1mb roms to fit so many at once.  Most of the later games were 4mb, 6mb, or 8mb, so realistically you're looking at fifteen to twenty games at a time.

...which should be more than enough for anyone if you're using the thing legally. I use mine exclusively for tech demos and to run English translations of cart games.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Word.  Even if you're using illegally, it's enough.  So you have to load it more often - tough shit.

[spenoza]

Alternately, if someone already has a 64 MB and would prefer a 128, I'll buy the 64 off them.

How's that?
