I ordered mine on January 4th, thought I'd wait out to see if it arrived in the mail, still nothing. Found out too late that it was past my PayPal refund notice period

I've just re-wrote the software for Linux, It cant auto-detect the device (yet), you need to know where linux has mounted the device i.e. ttyUSB0. Other than that, no issues. Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 with Python 3.4.1 and Pyserial.

rygD,

Yes it should work fine under Linux as the PC side software is now written in Python. I'd just have to change a few GUI commands at the most. I'll try it out on Ubuntu tomorrow and let you know.

Probably because you don't move as many units as some of the others selling them.  What sucks is that some other places selling them seem to have gotten them, sold them, and are now waiting for a restock.  I prefer to wait for kitsch-bent to have them than order everdrives from someone else again because kitsch is a great guy that gives back to the community.

When I ordered my other Everdrives I think I was lied to a couple times, in addition to the site saying they were in stock when they were not.  It took 2 months for things that were listed as in stock to get to me (company is in North America, as am I), and I had to contact them after 2 weeks to find out why my stuff didn't ship.  I have never had anything close to that happen with kitsch.

(based in Germany now, fwiw)

its a moot point really.  just making an observation

Seeing as there is so much struggle out in jis country and we are a nation of interest in the US, it makes sense that any US suppliers like yourself may see packages from over there be held in customs a while and be thoroughly checked. blah blah national security blah blah

i actually don't know (i expect them to go fast, but who knows).  seems i am on the low end of the totem when it comes to getting stock.  funny, as i was the first to reach out to krikzz and carry his stuff.  and helped him with his sourcing 

Good shit!  I have a few other things that are a little higher priority that I may need to pick up tomorrow, then I will see what I have left.  Do you think you have enough that they won't sell out in the next 48 hours (I know, it is hard to tell)?  I had a couple little things I wanted to grab before they sell out.  Excellent timing for me!

Thanks for the heads up.  This was one of my plans.  When I read a review that mentioned issues with LSDJ saving I figured the reviewer (not someone from here afaik) was using the demo rom.  I guess I will be keeping my dedicated LSDJ EMS cart.

I was going to use the everdrive to have the full game library, as well as all other software, in one place, and with me at all times.  I already have to carry my Nanoloop cart if I might use it while out...looks like even with the everdrive I will be carrying a minimum of 3 carts.

i got them in on Friday (or was it Saturday)

will try to post those today, need to catch up on packages though.  that's priority

will have three other new things posted at the same time too

If you have your hopes on using LSDJ with it, hold off for now. It doesn't play nice with saving and song loading in LSDJ even with LittleFM...

Placed an order, didn't get any information for a couple of weeks, tried contacting them, didn't get a reply so I opened a PayPal dispute, won and got my money back. That sure was a fun trip.

This is exactly why I didn't order a Smartboy set.  I wasn't willing to take the risk, so I picked up another EMS cart.  I may pick up an Everdrive-GB when kitsch gets them in, but I will still need a way to back up my game boy camera stuff.  Whatever I use needs to run under Linux, so ALTANE is probably what I will go with.  What is even better is it should work with all my carts, possibly including Nanoloop.

BennVenn, does your flasher work natively under Linux?

Perhaps - I'm not sure whether he/she was manufacturing or just reselling - but I suspect the bulk of the cheap GB cart business is geared towards gamers, particularly Pokémon gamers. Being badmouthed on chipmusic sites probably isn't a big concern. I could be wrong; if anyone else wants to hazard their money and time on that site, I'd be keen to hear how they get on.

No problem Syphus. I've spoken with the guy that's designed the Altane's hardware, software and firmware. He has an unbelievable knowledge of all things game boy and has helped me out countless times with my projects. This is sure to be the most high-end, professional PC-Cart interface ever produced!

I wonder if Smartboy's supply has dried up? Its a shame that something as simple as good communication (or lack of) has ruined what would have been  a great product. Word of mouth is everything in such a small community.
