    Hi everybody! I heard here that the times for the 64drive are pretty long.
    I think it's normal because I suppose it has a very high demand. The only problem is that I'm waiting my item since 17 Jun 2018!
    It's 4 months today and it seems pretty strange. I'm not worried about scam or something else. It just seems too strange not to have received answer to all of my emails.
    Any similar experience?

    Purchased mine last year on 18th May and it arrived just a few weeks later by 7th June. I’m in Australia so assume shipping delay in there too.

    I bought from their website and I sent something like 4 emails but never had answer.
    I just would need to know that everything's fine. I'm actually worried about that.

    Was pretty sure every man and their dog knows about the 64drive, retroactive and Marshall.

    Thank you for all the suggestions. I will try to contact him through those other channels. It's the only way I can find a solution

    I bought a 64Drive this year, it took a long time to arrive. Great product, worth the wait.

    TL;DR:
    64drive = great flash/dev cart for N64
    retroactive = https://retroactive.be/ (his website)
    marshall = mastermind behind retroactive, nice guy (used to frequent the boards here long time ago)

    common issue: many people get nervous when buying from marshall because it takes a lot of time to receive the products or some sort of reply from him, this is due to him running the shop and manufacturing by himself and being extremely busy.
