BlueBMW · 02/27/2014, 10:06 PM

Id be in for one.

munchiaz · 02/28/2014, 11:31 AM

edited the price. I forgot to add the shell price. So its would be $121 per person if we got 10 or more. Ill keep this up for a lil bit, but if it sees no interest, im just going to buy one. Don't want to have to wait very long

sirhcman · 02/28/2014, 12:00 PM

I would be interested. Let me know!

esadajr · 02/28/2014, 12:43 PM

I'm in, shell or no shell.

I'd suggest to get just the board. You can get the shell from any cheapie.

what modifications would need to be made to a donor cart?

jeffhlewis · 02/28/2014, 01:24 PM

I'm in

munchiaz · 02/28/2014, 01:52 PM

updated with names. We are currently at 5. Almost there. once we get the full 10 i will send out PMs about payment and get this thing rolling

xcrement5x · 02/28/2014, 04:17 PM

I might be interested, but put me down as a maybe. I'd also prefer without a shell since I have plenty of old ea or menacer 6-in-1 carts.

wallzter · 02/28/2014, 07:45 PM

Im also interested. Count me in.

tsuran · 02/28/2014, 08:45 PM

Sigh, scratch that, won't be in for a while, and now i need new tires. Dang priorities.

Tatsujin · 02/28/2014, 09:26 PM

Just a small hole for the SD Card.

tg16manaic · 03/01/2014, 12:39 PM

Hey, i have a question.... whats the difference between this mega everdrive and the mega everdrive v3 that's much cheaper selling for $78?

esadajr · 03/02/2014, 11:34 AM

The more expensive one has faster loading times, supports bigger roms, has an in game menu (special for couch potatoes) and may be used as a Sega CD ram cart.

TheClash603 · 03/02/2014, 02:34 PM

If you get the shell, will they be arriving complete?

The only way I am interested is if I do not have to do anything and it is fully built. I am a moron and couldn't figure it out otherwise.

munchiaz · 03/02/2014, 03:26 PM

do you guys know if i can order some with the shell, and some without? I'll try to get an answer for this as well

~~My guess is probably not.~~

Edit: I was wrong

Opethian · 03/04/2014, 02:56 PM

did you uhh email them? lol

xcrement5x · 03/04/2014, 04:31 PM

So after some reevaluating I am probably down with this, shell or no shell. This is the one with the FPGA right, that could technically also offer FM for SMS games down the line?

Mathius · 03/04/2014, 10:41 PM

I'm in. I definitely want the shell.

jeffhlewis · 03/05/2014, 10:26 AM

I could go either way on the shell - easy enough to cannibalize a cart if need be.

munchiaz · 03/07/2014, 12:10 PM

ok, so i emailed the support team, and i can make an order consisting of units with shells, and units without shells. Please let me know what you guys want, and we ca go from there

esadajr · 03/07/2014, 12:50 PM

Just the board for me. I'll begin making a rare shell and box.

wallzter · 03/07/2014, 12:58 PM

I want mine with a shell.

BlueBMW · 03/07/2014, 04:22 PM

I would prefer the fancy setup.

sirhcman · 03/07/2014, 07:47 PM

Shell me as well! I'm too lazy to make my own

Mathius · 03/07/2014, 08:07 PM

Shell shock me, brother!

munchiaz · 03/10/2014, 05:14 PM

Here is the updated list. I sent a PM to a few that were on the fence.

2.Mathius - shell
3.esadajr - no shell
4.wallzter - shell
5.BlueBMW - shell
6.sirhcman - shell
7.Ninjainspandex (neogeo) - shell

Mishran · 03/11/2014, 09:51 AM

Toss my name in the hat if it's not too late. Been meaning to get one at some point anyway. Will the shell have a snazzy little everdrive label affixed to it? If so, I'll do the shell.

jeffhlewis · 03/11/2014, 10:11 AM

Sent you a response earlier - I'll take a shell with mine. thanks man!

sirhcman · 03/16/2014, 08:33 PM

are we any closer to 10 for the order?

munchiaz · 03/17/2014, 12:08 PM

So we have 10 people now. I sent over a email request to the site because they have to make a manual order. Once they get back to me, i will be sending a PM to everyone on the list to get the funds.

1.munchiaz - shell
2.Mathius - shell

munchiaz · 03/17/2014, 02:35 PM

NP Sirhcman. I have PM'ed everyone requesting Paypal names so i can get a payment invoice sent out to you guys. Please respond as soon as you can.

xcrement5x · 03/17/2014, 03:53 PM

Am I still eligible for this?

turboswimbz · 03/17/2014, 05:09 PM

I'm down to be added to if you can shell or no shell doesn't matter.

If not no big deal.

Mishran · 03/17/2014, 09:29 PM

Message has been sent. I have to unfortunately drop out of the group buy.

munchiaz · 03/18/2014, 01:51 AM
