Being new to the console I have a very humble collection. Intellivision Collection 2 should also be here today or tomorrow.

Wicked nice @LinkYoungPS. Oh and that Halloween to the right is sexy.

Share a picture or 5 of your Evercade collection!  We all want to see what you've got.  C'mon! 

[RickR]

Here is mine.  I've just gotten started with Evercade, but I feel like I have a lot of great cartridges already.  I purchased someone else's collection a few months ago and have added a few since then.  Slowly but surely, I'm going to keep on adding to what I've got here. 

 

[TrekMD]

OK, here is what I have...

[RickR]

Wow!  Nice.

What's the story with the black orig Evercade?  Is that an overlay?  Or was choosing black or white an option?

[TrekMD]

Thank you!  That was a premium package they had with a limited version in black.

[RickR]

Oh wow, another really nice collection.  Thank you for sharing!  You guys need to let us know if there are any "must-have" favorite carts in your collection.  

 

[Sabertooth]

Thanks @RickR !  

My favorite carts are Irem Arcade 1, Atari Lynx 1 & 2, and the Xenocrisis/Tanglewood Dual cart (mainly due to Xenocrisis.)

Late to the party! I had been going back and forth on getting one, and when I decided to buy one, the EXP was out of stock everywhere during the holiday season. Short thereafter, I got an email from Funstock that they had a limited number of EXP Limited Edition available. I jumped at the chance and ordered it from across the Pond. I did a quick research and ordered a bunch of games and then ordered some more.

As far as accessories go, I had to have a glass screen protector. I could only find the official one released by Blaze, so I went with that. I read that the Sony PSP has the same screen size as the EXP, but I couldn't find any tempered glass screen protectors for the PSP.

Finally, when a friend heard that I was thinking about getting an Evercade, she gave me a dust cover during Christmas.

So far, I've only opened the DataEast Arcade Collection to play Burger Time. I want to explore a few more games on the cartridge before moving on to a different cartridge. I love Tate mode.

PS: I didn't realize I put the EXP upside down when I took the photo 😂 Sorry about that.

[RickR]

NICE collection!  Let me know what you are going to open and try next.  Maybe we can do another "Let's All Play" with whatever you choose.  Even if it's the Data East collection you've already started. 

I've been going back and forth on whether to get an EXP.  While I would like the ability to update my games, I find it wasteful to not simply enjoy the original Evercade handheld that I have. 

[socrates63]

I hear ya @RickR. If I already had the original handheld, the EXP would be a hard sell for me too. 

As far as cartridges go, I'll probably go with the Irem arcade collection for some Moon Patrol action. I haven't played the arcade version since like forever. The last version I played was on the 5200.

[TrekMD]

Better late, than never, @socrates63!  And that is a nice collection!

YES!  This is a great one.  For whatever reason, I always thought Moon Patrol was an Atari game.  But nope.  Irem.  It is still a lot of fun!

All together this time

It's not an Evercade item per se, but it is part of my Evercade setup 😂 I decided last week as I thought about where to use the VS-R that I wanted to use my workstation for playing in addition to working. I have a very nice 27" Dell monitor that I use with the company MacBook Pro via DisplayPort.

The monitor also supports HDMI, so I got an HDMI switch along with an HDMI audio extractor to feed audio to my external powered desktop speakers. I tested the setup with my EXP and the mini HDMI output on it. Everything looked great. The sound was great, too, except that it was extremely loud, and I had no way to control the volume.

And that's where this little volume attenuator comes in. It sits between the speakers and the HDMI audio extractor. It had good reviews and is very small. The knob has a bit of weight to it, and it turns very smoothly. I thought about getting something a little fancier in a metal case, but those are much more expensive, and most importantly, much bigger. I don't have much desktop real estate. This thing is about the size of a box of matches, maybe a little smaller.

I switched my MacBook Pro to HDMI output to keep things simpler. I then found out that when the MacBook Pro is connected via HDMI, the volume control on the keyboard does not work, so this little volume pot works there as well.

Now I'm ready to play games via HDMI at my workstation!
