Densetsu33 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I recently ordered a mega ever drive pro from Krikzz. I did receive my order a couple of days ago. Since then I have noticed Krikzz's website says "out of stock" for all ever drives. As most of you know Krikzz is based in Ukraine. I'm just wondering what will happen considering the future production of everdrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krikzz tweet on the 24th mentioned hearing shooting time to time and is hiding in the basement as of that tweet. I got the information from this tweet link: https://twitter.com/krikzz/status/1496965485111488518?cxt=HHwWjMC50a2LpcYpAAAA All I have to saw is hopefully Krikzz is still alive.

+Gemintronic Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Worst case on the technology side Asian pirates have already made cheap Everdrive knock offs. So, quality goes way down. Plus, these same sellers often have no problem selling rip offs of still in sale classic console homebrew. Every aspect of this sucks from a human level on down in importance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Densetsu33 Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 I know that all male Ukrainians 18-60 have been drafted for combat. I really hope he's OK. This whole situation is scary. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I can't be alone being disgusted by anyone asking about their everdrive orders or about future orders at this time am I? That was really something that shouldn't even be asked right now. I guess future production of everdrives are a bit more important than you know, getting wasted by russian scum trying to take more land back from their old satellite state puppet country iron curtain era. 12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariAge is actually one of the more agreeable places. Other venues have casual discussions of pulling their existing orders. I can't imagine having to hole your family up in your basement only to come out to a ruined business. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you can say friend... that wrote me on Facebook. Facebook friend wrote: No, a pretty big deal. I think quite a few didn't realize how much so at first, but I think people are waking up. 19 hours ago, Densetsu33 said: I know that all male Ukrainians 18-60 have been drafted for combat. I really hope he's OK. This whole situation is scary. 368K women and children have fled Ukraine. The men in those ages are not being allowed to leave Ukraine, so they get drafted. While I am mostly on the side of the Ukraine in all this, that part I'm uneasy with. But even if not conscripted into the defense, Russians are also attacking civilians in this. And it sounds like you realize Krikzz is in the middle of all that so ...good. Just put this hobby on hold for a bit, realize this is not a normal event by any means and just keep him in your thoughts and prayers for now. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Densetsu33 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 I sincerely hope Krikzz is OK and I will be praying for him and his family. This whole situation is just surreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Yeah, I saw Krikzz's Twitter post the other day, I hope he is doing well. Used to post at his forum a bit, and he's definitely one of the good ones. He spends a lot of his time answering questions and implementing requested features. I know we can't get into politics, but it seems like this war won't last much longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGameCollector Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 On the bright side according to articles I have seen, it seems like Russia spread their attackers too thin/widely and have 3,000 casualties so far. They could actually lose simply due to poor tactics. And perhaps Ukraine has more well trained troops if the Ace keeps downing their war planes. A lot of Russian soldiers are being disarmed and taken prisoner too. Hopefully he will pull thru but if you're desperate for the product right now, don't forget TerraOnion products and Gamedrives are still around. You could even still get an NES Powerpak from Retrousb even though the Everdrive had far surpassed it. So there's still some better-than-nothing solutions out there. Krikzz's products have been some of the best though and he really mastered the product line by making them for so many systems. Even if the war stopped tomorrow, getting the parts again could take quite a while because of all the necessary rebuilding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm hearing rumors of peace talks as well. Maybe they will weather the storm after all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, I don't know how to tell if a storefront is selling the real deal or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Uhh no don't avoid amazon, just make sure the seller is the everdrive account as they are an official seller krikzz setup some years back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk Yeah I imagine if the worst happened, TerraOnion would probably take over the flash cart market and start producing products for the Nintendo and other Sega systems. But the people in danger are more important. And emulation will always be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 At that point I'd buy the chinese knockoffs, TO quality control and utter arrogance and rudeness over people trying to even help with that is disgusting. Rather support and asian thief than some euro-conmen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGameCollector Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Articles I've seen today make this a bit more worrisome for our friend here too. There's a chance Putin could retaliate against the sanctions by going after more civilians on purpose? I don't know what city Krikzz is in but that kind of action could spell doom. It has to come to a stop, like yesterday. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jeremiahjt Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 There is not one person in Ukraine right now reading AtariAge and thinking how horrible this thread is. The people wondering about Everdrives are not affecting anything going on over there. There are bad things happening somewhere in the world at all times. People can go about their lives without having to live in a constant state of sorrow for other people's hardships. And speaking as a veteran who actually saw combat, nobody in the middle of that cares what you are doing unless you are somehow affecting the action taking place. I am not saying what is happening is not horrible, but people can wonder about what the effects will be without being a horrible person. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
