Turbo EverDrive

[Breetai]

I never use my actual Genesis and SMS carts. I have a huge SMS collection and a respectable Genesis collection. I have an Everdrive MD and Master Everdrive to play my games. Pier Solar is the only cart that I physically use. I like to keep my games in good condition and well preserved. So for me it would be a convienience and a creative way to play the PC engine/ Turbo games I already own without touching them. And by the way, there is no way to try a classic game before buying one (rental or trial version), so flash carts give you the luxury of trying out a game you are interested in on the actual original hardware before forking over money for all those expensive and overpriced rare games on ebay. Win/win situation dude.

Your reasoning is acceptable to me.

I've been waiting for this for sooooooooooo long!

I know, right? I'll be happy to toss the Neoflash cart out (well, not literally.) I was so disappointed when I got it and discovered it only had 64 megaBITS of memory and could only hold a few roms.

There's no moral advantage to buying the real games any more. The developers and publishers won't get anything. It makes no difference whatsoever. Does it hurt the eBay market? Who cares?

[Drakon]

It would probably help the ebay market in my case buying these flash carts lets me play these great games on the real hardware making me want the games even more badly. Emulation just doesn't give a proper demo...

HOLY CRAP!

Seriously I'm really excited for this! I can't wait! PC engine games are getting really expensive these days and it'd be great to be able to play some of the more expensive games on real hardware.

Yeah, if these flash carts could possibly lower ebay's insane prices I'd be advocating them. Although, compared to about ten years ago I do appreciate that there are equal opportunity scalpers across all platforms now, rather than just Nintendo.

Now If someone could just do a Neo Geo flash cart... talk about high prices. I love my Neo, but damn, it's putting a serious dent in my wallet.

[oldskool]

Hell yeah! Been waiting for a while for a good one. And yes I agree a flash cart for the Neo would be awesome.. except I have an MVS. Just not too excited about the multi-carts.

I have the 128 Mbit cart, but the lack of an SD card port is the biggest issue. Any time you want to change the games, you have to plug it into the SLIV adapter, fire up Windows, run the client app, and burn all new games.

neo geo aes flash cart with mvs adapter included ftw!

Honestly, to me these carts are awesome for 4 reasons:

1) Saves wear and tear on the console and the games you own.
2) Lets you play a huge number of games for free and decide if they are worth your time to track down, or if you don't care.
3) Lets you play many home brew or unique/fun hacks on the real hardware.
4) Allows you to actually play some games that may be so rare or over priced you just can't get hold of the real deal.

I'm just waiting for the mega everdrive to get back in stock so I can use it with my CDx. It's the perfect portable Genesis and Sega CD solution. The only way it would be better is if I could run CD games off the cart, but I have no idea if that's even possible.

This cart is the closest thing to a Neo Geo MVS flash cart (sorry, no AES version). http://www.jammaboards.com/store/161...eo-161in1.html

I always found it puzzling to see people who don't own a console (and never did) get excited over flash cartridges or copiers.

At the risk of sounding like a dick; what's to be excited over? If you never owned the original hardware (thus aren't used to the original controllers) and you don't plan on buying any "real" games for it, what's to get excited over? Why not just stay with emulation? It's not like you can say "Well, the real hardware experience is better" because you never had that.
