Wow, that's actually pretty impressive! The only thing I'm concerned about is the lack of a plastic case around the board, but I can overlook that. The price is certainly great; I might get one after I get my NGPC flash cart. Thanks for the heads up!

Looks like the PCB can fit into a MD cart shell. Also, check out this...

It's limited to 64Mbits, but it has some advantages over the other one. It can load and play 32x games, and it has a built in Game Genie function.

Yeah, that's a really good deal if all you're looking for is Genesis and Master System games.

The tototek is programmed by parallel port, which is really a pain. That Everdrive gets lots of points for using SD media.

Of course the Myth MD with the SD adapter is the ultimate solution. It's just pricy.

Yes you can, both MD and SMS games run from the cart direct. I want an N64 cart like this that takes SD or MicroSD. Don't think I'll be waiting forever...

Looks like this guys N64 prototype won't do SD, and it only supports 256mbit roms. However the Neo Myth N64 with a Neo2SD has all the hardware necessary to do this, we're just waiting for a menu to get coded. It's a pricey solution, but it will be perfect when the menu is finally released.

I first saw this a number of months ago, and I believe I posted it in an unrelated thread.
I didn't think to make a thread exclusively for it at the time; so I am glad you decided to.

This looks like a very impressive device, and the pricing is very competitive, and fair.

I plan to buy one; and I am glad that he seems to claim that he has tested
it on several clones; and that he continues to fix small issues that may arrise.

I might ask him if he knows if it is compatible with the Gen Mobile.
If it works at all with this portable clone system; I will most surely
be purchasing one in the future.

I have to wonder though; if the feature that allows Master System games to play on this flash cartridge, will work on any of the current clones at all.
This is because I don't believe that any of the current clones work with the Power Base Converter (even if it is desmanted and moded to fit).
This may be caused by extra power / pin constraints that this device may not require.

I'm eager to have others be the 'gunea pigs' first; if at all possible :wink:

I've finally decided to break down and get a flash card myself, but I'm still not sure whether I'm going to go with this one or the 64 meg Totek cart. The price on this thing is a steal, really, especially since it includes shipping, but the fact that you can only pay for it through a wire transfer and that it doesn't support 32X games holds it back a bit.

On the other hand, the Totek cart is going to run some $90 with the lowest priced shipping option and I'll have to fire up my PC and re-flash it every time I want to play a different game.

Damn it, I wish I had the dough to swing a NeoMyth.
