@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.
That does indeed sound great..
Ah! you and your tempations. You're as bad as me now

If you want to see how much better than master system was than the NES you have to play Phantasy Star on it. It's far and away the best looking 8-bit game ever and puts a lot of Megadrive games to shame. Bit archaic though. Went through it a while ago with a walkthrough which is pretty much esssential. Lots of grinding involved. It's so tough if you walk out of the first area and are unlucky enough to encounter one of the tougher enemies you will die on your first battle.

Ah, the Sega Nomad. Held back by two substantial problems - a crappy LCD screen and 4 hours battery life out of 6 AA bateries.
I've had mine for about 5 years now and to be honest, due to both those issues it was a novelty piece - you really couldn't use the thing for gaming.
All that has changed now though.
Apart from the new LCD, you will notice there is no power cable.
'But o1s1n, wtf! Think of the batteries!'
Don't worry, the planet is no longer doomed due to my Nomad's high battery consumption level. Enternow in his infinite wizdom built me one of these -
'But that's just a regular Nomad charger. They're long since dead?'
Nope, the shell has been gutted and the rechargable battery replaced.
I can not emphasise how cool this is. Photos don't really do it justice. I can now sit back and play Megadrive carts on a perfect LCD (It just looks like a mini television) without the annoyance of having it teathered to the wall or worrying about the low battery light blinking on any time soon.
I've had it on the table running for a good while now and the battery is showing no sign of wearing out. The combination of the far lower power consumption level LCD and better battery technology is amazing.
It's kind of sad in a way, as it feels like this is what the console should have been to begin with.0 -

That's a great price. I couldn't recommend getting one of those LCDs for it enough, the quality of them is amazing. As is the sound. It's really really loud. In fact, I completely forgot I had one of those. Thanks for the reminder!

I'd say they might be a little hard to come accross and expensive as most of them are probably connected to PSones already.
Yep, just as I thought -

Ugh, £35 sterling? I'll bide my time & try some patience on this one The 29" Sony will do the job until then. 0 -

Recession = people eager to sell stuff so they can eat and pay the rent. It's unfortunate..but it means bargains for people with a few quid to spare.
That's quite a steal you got there.
And dont mention that UK only ****e. There seem to be two different types of UK only - one that will let international buyers still bid, the other just rejects your bid saying you don't meet the criteria. More and more are falling into the second type lately 0 -

Aside from the spoils of your purchases, finding bargains on ebay is actually addictive! I need help Yeah I thought €7 was simply too hard not to take a punt on it. It says there's a pcb or something stuck in the side of it so I'll prop have to open it to get that out, but you know me...getting to open it is the fun bit :rolleyes: 0 -

Fingers crossed you don't have to prise this one open with credit cards
Nah I'm sure I'll have an easier job with this one. For anyone that's baffled, the Nomad battery box needs to be opened with something credit card-esque...there's no screws, it's just clipped together, very, very tightly Speaking of which, I must document the battery box mod when I do my own one as it's prob the last one I'll do. 0 -
