Interesting - we are being watched from afar! A Tmart rep registered a new account to send me the following PM:

So are you going to get two for the price of one?

:D:D The mind boggles, I'll keep you posted on my delivery anyway, nothing happening this morning though.

Shipped on 27th - 3 weeks ago, on past experience (ordinary Tmart shipping through Sweden) another week to wait ... Swiss Post might make some difference though.

Just checked swiss post tracking there - and mine appears to have landed in Dublin :eek:

Nice - likely your original departure date was 4/03 and the duplicate 11/03 "Departure from border point" a phantom.

Mine was purchased ages ago, still last update from the 17.03 left origin.. (for the second time, first time on the 4th).
Hopefuilly it might be on time for a christmas present.

mooseknunkle · 21-03-2014 1:10am

Just checked mine now,had forgotten about it actually

Thu 20.03.2014 08:24 Arrival at border point of destination country IEDUBA
Thu 20.03.2014 10:23 Handed to customs IEDUBA
Thu 20.03.2014 15:52 Released by customs IE

So looks like it reached Dublin yesterday and was released by customs so maybe another few weeks before i get it

EasyBoy1974 · 21-03-2014 9:29am

You should now be able to track it on anpost.ie - mine shows "ON ROUTE TO CUSTOMER" :-)

Macy0161 · 21-03-2014 9:49am

Mine was delivered this morning, but I'm in work and it's at home so can't report anything more than that!

Below that on the same page near the logistics section (which was blank for me) there's another tracking number, which is different to the order number. Put that into the "track and trace" bit on the swiss post website (www.swisspost.ch) and it'll give you where it's at. If it says it's left Irish Customs, you can use the same tracking number on the An Post website to track it.

Zwillinge · 21-03-2014 10:28am

Mine has been released by customs - Must have been held hostage :P

jmorrisey · 21-03-2014 10:58am

mine too, it cost €26.65, will we be given a customs bill?

celticbhoy27 · 21-03-2014 11:12am

Says mine is in Kilkenny as of 06:45 this am. Should get it today

Received mine this morning. Only had time for a quick game of Tekken 3.
Very impressed with the quality considering the price. Screen is good quality. Buttons are fine. Looking forward to revisiting some other games later.

ThunbergsAreGo · 21-03-2014 11:54am

Got mine, is it only the games on it that are playable or can you load roms?

Missymoohaa · 21-03-2014 12:04pm

Mine still in the transit country but it was only shipped on 10th March, I got the white one for 22.48 and am only noticing now its different than the original op one. I dont think its the slimline one apart from that I can't really tell. Any of you that have received already tell me if mine is any different, see link

As far as I know you can load them on but I haven't tried it yet.

mooseknunkle · 21-03-2014 2:11pm

Got it this morning..not bad for €26

Liam McPoyle · 21-03-2014 2:29pm

Would someone that has received theirs mind posting a list of the games that are pre-loaded on it please.

celticbhoy27 · 21-03-2014 2:42pm

Got mine just now. Can't play any of the ps1 games it's saying no file or something. Not interested in any of the pre loaded ones anyway. Will try to download some roms onto it myself later

"Built in about 2000 kinds of games"

Whoever got theirs..........GET TYPING!!

Does anyone know how I can track where mine is?
I didn't pay for Dhl just normal shipping so just have an order number...

On the tmart site go to "Track Order". Put in your email and order number. About half way down is a "Logistics" section, which should give you a tracking number. Put that into the "track and trace" bit on the swiss post website (www.swisspost.ch) and it'll give you where it's at. If it says it's left Irish Customs, you can use the same tracking number on the An Post website to track it.

I went through the list and its the same 100 or so games repeated on it. Ps1 and neo geo games.

Anyone find anything different?

21-03-2014 4:03pm

Got mine. Not seeing anything like 2000 games during my first cursory glance at it. It's a nifty bit of kit though - especially for the price. The manual is useless though. Looking forward to playing with it.

I've checked the swiss post site so often, I know my tracking no off by heart. Sad but true.

irishproduce · 21-03-2014 4:42pm

Mine is waiting at home, wife text me earlier.
I am a Mario fan, anyone know if that is on it?
I am talking 1990s original Mario now mind :-)

None of us got hit with customs. He said like the rest of us not unlike the rest of us

littlejp · 21-03-2014 10:15pm

Anyone having any luck putting ROMS onto this thing?
What format are they? Where do you put them?
I've tried putting a few different formats into the GAMES folder but none of them work.

Cyber Ghost · 21-03-2014 10:19pm

what's the customs cut off price again?

blue_blue · 21-03-2014 10:37pm

I love the way this thread began with a post quoting the device, one person recommending it and then the rest are broken down into:

- Why am I waiting so long for delivery?
- Here are my tracking updates
- It's stuck in customs!
- It's arrived but I can't write a review yet as I'm not at home.

Good luck putting this piece of junk into a drawer after a week of getting bored by its poor quality/usability.

There's one born every minute.

Tried it with mega drive roms, no good. It says these

CPS1, CPS2, MVS, GEN, GBA and other mass arcade games

il look into it when i have more time.

irishproduce · 22-03-2014 7:36am

If it doesn't take roms out of the box, someone here is going to figure it out and hack it so it does! I love boards!

As you might know, 'gen' is Genesis, which is the equivalent of megadrive. So it does play them, just a matter of figuring out exactly which folder the roms go in, and perhaps what file extention.
The same should apply for snes roms.

I tried .bin files with no success hope someone might be wiser than in on formats. This is really the only reason I bought this.

Mine left Singapore on the 1st. No sign yet.

I have one. The quality is good, sturdy and the screen is great. It plays most GBA/GB/SNES/MD roms but so far about 10% of them don't work, acceptable though for the price.

Also plays video.

Like you said, the box is a generic, tatty, made-in-china budget job, but the product itself is surprisingly robust.

Maybe Terrorfirmer can advise on adding roms please?

steviebg · 23-03-2014 10:56pm

Well you can play other games,just finished a game of zelda . I have only tried snes roms and most work. all you do is add your zipped roms to the game folder and extract them, should work then

Just got a SNES game working on it myself.
Any other systems that definitely work?

There are some PS1 games pre installed but these are not kept in the game folder.
Any idea if it's possible to add different PS1 games?

Below €22 is exempt import VAT (except on tobacco, perfume, alcohol).

Above that threshold 23% VAT is payable on the lot, but where total VAT payable is less than €6 it's waived on a consignment (ie. under €26.08 in value).

da_hambo · 24-03-2014 9:35am

Ordered the white one. Thanks OP. Love emulation but using a touchscreen puts me off so this will be ideal!

Also ordered a rechargable battery in a strange format for a torch I have.

Can one connect to wifi on this or do you move files via usb to pc etc?
