John Stamos Mullet Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 3 hours ago, Jinks said: I am going to send mine back maybe in 2022 or so. It works good enough on a hot 7800 for the last 5 years. Funny to see everyone scramble like there will not be any more ever.. what is the point? So many 7800 people come out of the woodwork for this and Rikki and Vikki. It will be great to see the developers get one to help them out. 3 people with less than 50 posts that no 7800 guy ever heard of are going for this. Hopefully not just resellers. That tells me this will sell out for at least 1-2 years at a rate of 15 a week or so.. before a normal person that does not live on the internet is able to buy one. It's not a rush, so much that many people have been waiting over a decade for a viable 7800 SD cart. The CC2 went out of production around the time that Nickelback was still popular. The 7800 is one of those oddball niche consoles that people love collecting for or playing, because it occupies a place in the retrogaming world that is rare - it had a short window of release, most of it's better games are extremely scarce to find on the secondary/auction market, and it's backwards compatible with the 2600 so it cuts down on redundant console clutter. Also - the Homebrew scene for the 7800 is probably the most active and extremely well done I've ever seen of any classic console. As for the low post-count buyers - well, there might be some scalpers in there, sure. But the reality is there are a lot of people who are into the retro/classic gaming hobby who don't actively participate in these forums and just lurk, because - let's face it - the Forums can be a shitshow. 2 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/230751-sd-cartridge-for-7800/page/87/#findComment-4690763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+batari Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 So today I learned that when you send your email to the site, it doesn't automatically notify you when more stock is available, as I thought it would. I do have the list, though, and will send out an email to people next time more stock goes up. I am catching up on outstanding orders for the next couple of days and may be adding another batch on Sunday evening, hopefully earlier than midnight! I am putting these together as fast as I can, and at the same time working on outsourcing some of the assembly so that we don't have to do this lottery system forever. 14 3 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/230751-sd-cartridge-for-7800/page/87/#findComment-4691204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like to see people support the 7800 community. Like when the games are developed to say fuck yeah that is great etc. Not just the attitude of give me the romz and see ya dorks later. (Clearly any sense of a community does not matter to some, and it is a shame) It is just my opinion. That is all. BTW My box of brand new home brews smells fresh to me.

Dude. We've been over this already, and several times. There is no pre-order, reserve, or other list to get on. I get where you're coming from re: the release times, but you'll need to work it out on your end. 6 1 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/230751-sd-cartridge-for-7800/page/87/#findComment-4691339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
