    You got it @DegasElite. I want to make sure people understand this is a community, we're all here for the conversation. In the context of starting a thread to promote a Member's YouTube videos or Podcast, we encourage that! We have forums here set up for that very reason, we encourage our Members to create their very own dedicated thread and share their new videos and Podcasts to it in series. If a Member has a website, a new project or game they want to promote, we encourage that too! It needs to be conversational though. Atari I/O is not the place to post a teaser with a link elsewhere, or only show up to promote your own wares. It's got to be conversational.
    Here's an I/O ProTip: Think of the Forums as a holiday party. You've been invited over, there are Snacks and hors d'oeuvres being served, everybody is in the spirit of things and having a great time. You walk up to everyone and say "Here's 10 Reasons Why Atari 5200 Sucked Hard" and give a link to your video. That's clickbait-y and hucksterish. Instead, when creating a new thread, be sure to start a real conversation. It's great to share links to your stuff! We encourage that! We support everybody who helps make sure this hobby continues on. But you have to include substantive content in your new topics, not just clickbait links or sales pitches.

    You know, that makes sense. I think it's nice to converse with others. I'll be sociable, then. Thanks, Justin, for the reminder. :O)

    The Final Fantasy series is pretty good, too. I beat the original NES Final Fantasy in a year. Interesting JRPG. :O)

    Oh, OK. I have been to Green Bay, Madison, and Milwaukee before. My dad was born in Milwaukee, by the way.

    We drove up to Stevens Point today to deliver the Metroid bowl I made a while back to the original creator of this Metroid plush.

    $60 for this vs. $160 for the real Everrdrive.  The only downside is that longevity is unknown. 

    I have several everdrives (NES, SNES, Genesis, TG16, GBC), and they all work most excellently.  I agree they make good sense.  Not just in overall cost-savings, but in convenience.

    Plus, it saves wear and tear on the original cartridges. It's a neat idea, actually.

    Nice! Is it much cheaper than an actual N64 Everdrive? Any downsides compared to an actual Everdrive?
    During Black Friday, I ordered Everdrives for SNES and Genesis. Even if you're a collector, playing games using these types of cartridges makes a lot of sense. I use the Harmony Encore cartridge to play 2600 games even though I have the actual game cartridges.

    It's interesting how you can store multiple ROMs on an SD card and plug them into the cartridge that way. Cool stuff. Thanks for showing it. :O)
