Announcing the 64drive nearing completion

Hope group order can lower the price to around less than 120$ plus shipping to anywhere in the world.

 

Gotta agree with Assembler on the pricing, all things considered $100 would be the sweet spot

 

Count me in for one, please.

 

If purchasing as a group count me in if it lowers the price down to $100. But this would be a great thing to own, I agree all 64 back up devices have been very thrown together and seem unstable.

 

It more than likely wont be lowered to hundred. Honestly, with all the features, I'd be satisfied at 150. This blows every other cart out of the water in terms of quality and features, why price it so low? He's put a lot of work into it.

 

Damn right.

 

If the pound starts doing better against the dollar I'll get one

 

I'd do a few Cable trades on the ForEx market if it does

 

Well we can speculate about the price as much as we want but the only one that knows for sure is marshall.
He knows how much the parts cost, how much the assembly, how much margin he wants and foremost of all the development costs.
And seeing how many prototypes he already build and how much time he spend, I guess the development costs were a LOT.

If I were marshall I would charge 249$. I once sold a Z64 for ~350$, so 249$ would still be cheap if you consider that.

 

There's really no reason the worst copier shouldn't cost $300, everyone is just spoiled today by R4 clones which amount to passive components and an epoxy blob ASIC. If the device works as advertised, it's worth whatever the author asks. Personally on my designs there's no way I would sell stuff with less than 400% markup.

 

Quit raising the price lol! But honestly $150 would be reasonable considering how much retro usb charges for their flash carts.

 

I also think that $150 is reasonable, considering the features and the price of all the other N64 copiers.

 

My opinion only, but I don't feel it's overpriced either.

 

Or he could just sell it for 249$ regulary but on the same time the assemblergames group purchase would lower the price to 130$ as a limited quantity one time offer. Now everyone is happy

 

I say let him price it a whatever he wants. Heck, he's put up with me on AIM, and I'm pretty annoying. Talking to me is counter-productive, ask ASSEMbler, I'm sure he'd agree.

 

I'm in for purchasing one, too.

 

A full GoodN64 set is enormous (30gb?) but has the usual unneeded dumps.

I created a full set that had pretty much every US release, plus a bunch of unique Jap/pal releases that was around 6-7gb. However, it was years ago so I may have trimmed releases I was not interested in - but not much.

 

Yes all games of one region should be 8GB.
CF is still pretty pricy if you ask me
So I will go with 4GB.
