Wonderboy III
Bastard! Had my eye on it and decided to save my money and now regret it.
You do know there's 4 monster land games and all of them are supposedly excellent metroid games? Think all of them have a fan translation. Monster Land 4 is supposedly a classic. Just saying it in case you really dig it.

Finally got to RAGE this morning.
Nice selection of stuff, could've spent a lot more but held back!
Got Hellfire (yay!), Wonderboy III and Dynamite Heady all for the MD, cost around 23 for the lot.
Happy with that.
Nearly bought Bubble Bobble and RC ProAm for the NES and Pokemon Blue for the GB but didn't.
He says that they're getting in Snes stuff over the week/weekend.
Any mega drives? if so, any idea which model they are?

This little beauty came in the post this morning. Shame the SD card doesn't sit flush with the top of the cart like the NES PowerPak, minor gripe though. It works a treat. Each time you load a new game it just takes a few seconds to flash to the cart.
Some pics of it in action (still so impressed with that modded screen EnterNow).
/Edit: Just managed to get Wily Wars working on it too.
Nice touch with the packaging too. :pac:

Wtf, how did you get Nomad screen photos like that? It looks like you pasted in screengrabs from your pc
The Everdrive looks like it's really well put together. Really tempted to get one now.
Lol, it actually does look like a cut & paste. But seriously thats how good the mod is, Andrew just has a better camera than me 0 -

Think i might try and get a nomad, how hard is that mod to do enternow? or how much does it cost?
You know...when you've been tango'd Cider'd
I've done three of them now so am fairly confident while doing it. Unusually in this mod, it's not soldering or wiring thats the tricky part...it's centering the new screen exactly righ. You've also got to rip (literally) the old screen out, which takes some manning up to do as it's a point of no return. Other than that, just take it one step at a time, measure twice cut once etc etc.
Cost wise, I can't remember how much that DX screen is, was it $50 or so o1s1n? I generally read my Visa bills with one eye closed, and the other heavily squinted.0 -

Hehe nah my camera is years old and usually involves taking 10 pics each time and picking out the one that's in focus and where the flash hasn't blanked everything out. The new screen is just awesome. OT but I've wondered how you get close up shots of pcb's in your modding threads, camera + magnifying glass?
@Jack - if you do get a Nomad then defo get the screen changed out, $50 is nothing when it means bringing the machine back to life. No matter how good a condition the Nomad is in, the original screen is rubbish compared to that modern day DX one.
@o1s1n - Delighted with the EverDrive. Just so handy not having to swap out carts, it also handles game saves for those carts that normally have them (just save in game as normal). And since it runs roms (of games I own!) you can also run hacks/translation patches etc. It's great!
Stoneagegamer are sold out atm but I think you can get the actual Everdrive PCB from it's creator here: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/sega-megadrive-genesis-flash-cart-with-sd-mmc. They don't come with the pause switch at the top anymore (for SMS games) but you can always get them yourself and solder it on if you want. Once you have the pcb then use any MD cart and just cut a slot at the top for the SD card (2GB max) or get the parts from stoneagegamer. The Everdrive will format the SD itself through it's menu and away you go. 0 -
