Update 5/2/13

now taking pre-orders. I submitted an order today - it just became available to back-order on Retrogate. I ordered the following:

10 - NES N8
2 - Fami N8

so limited quantities, if you want N8 submit it quick since I only have 2 pre-ordered as of now. Pricing is simple, pick your package - they go up $10 based on what level you want.  I make a little $$$ here but it is really for time organizing, designing and the time it takes to put this all together (as I am learning from the N64 groupbuy). You guys have seen my modder work before - my goal is for you to receive these items and feel like you bought a deluxe package from one of the deluxe sites, but without the deluxe price. I don't ever plan to go BIG on these orders, but hopefully an alternative offering helps drive down some of the prices out there.

Note - for the 2 people that order Fami N8 - the cost for basic or deluxe will go up depending on the price I can get donor carts to fit. If you have some donor carts that will significantly help. 
 
Pricing is as follows (note add 4% via paypal or send as paypal gift payment):

Pricing does not include shipment
Core Package:
$90 - I am making $5 on this package -really for time organizing the buy and also I put the funds down 100% upfront. Big sites online charge $109 for board only so your still saving (even though they get it for less than that) - win / win
* board only

IMG

Basic Package
$100 
* Dremel work for SD slot 
* Label for the cart
* Gray cart from a donor NES Game - option for custom coloring is $5 (Flat Black, Charcoal, Bright Blue)


Deluxe Package

$110
* Everything from the basic package
* Universal Game Case - custom dremelled to fit NES cart
* Glossy insert for the game case
* Simple instruction card for your Everdrive
* Label for the cart
* Custom cart coloring no additional cost - pick your color: Flat Black, Charcoal, Bright Blue)
     - coloring is added for free, so same cost if you want stock grey

Note - for deluxe package I am custom modifying the universal game cases for NES carts. They will fit but I have to dremel some tabs so it will properly fit. I will post pics so you see what it will look like.


Mock-up - not final product

I might be interested in the Famicom Everdrive if the price is right. I already have an NES Powerpak that I never use.

I would love a Fami Everdrive - the kicker for me is not having a Source for the correct case for Everdrive. I would need a bunch of those games that are compatible including a couple so I could practice opening without damaging. If you guys know of a source then that would be more appealing. Otherwise NES Everdrive is just easier overall for me because I have access to NES cases.

I'd prefer the fami version myself. I have two of those Nintendo converter carts (Gyromite and Duck Hunt) that I can toss it into to play on the NES. Plus I was considering getting me a Fami system so it would be win-win either way.

Duo_R

Yep its NES right now not fami....unless one of you is holding out on Gyromite converter carts ;-)

maybe a dumb question, but if it's a fami everdrive, there's no problem with US games, right?
and what's the advantage over a powerpak?

Duo_R

Yes you can have US games, powerpack is great long time following. I dont beleive it has SD slot however so I think that is the big advantage for Everdrive. Better cost too and Krikkz carts are top notch.

As I understand it, an advantage of the Power Pak is that it has been the popular NES flash cart for a long time now and already has a lot of custom mapper development for it and programmers will likely continue to build upon that.

Those of you who want the Famicom version, know that you can't use it on an NES unless your converter has a real CIC or something very close to it. A stun circuit won't work.  Anyway it's a great device, I just hope Krikzz improves the sound of the FDS and the extra sound that some carts have. None of it is accurate yet. I'd still rather have this than a PowerPak, though.

well folks, it looks like i'm actually going to have to back out on this one, bills and life getting in the way and all.
so i guess that means 1 famicom everdrive is up for grabs.

ok - initial mock-up of the cover. Keep in mind the final touches aren't there yet (like the text on the back, and the Font for the EverDrive title), but just an idea of the direction so far.

Yeah, mapper support on the powerpak is the big problem. Too many games don't run properly.

I pretty much own every NES game that I want, but for some reason I am very excited about this.
