    I didn't read the whole topic, will you upload the pcb and parts list (and probably firmware) so someone could built it home from scratch?

    You mean steal his design and hard work? That will likely earn you a very quick ban.

    read: I couldn't be bothered to check whether my question had already been answered, even.

    Assume that, if someone's SELLING something as a complete, assembled kit, they won't want to do this. Fair enough when he's put so much time and effort into coding it.

    Are you saying that you would reverse engineer someone's design and distribute it freely? That's illegal.

    He is probably one of those kiddos who steals code that is freely released by Acid Mods and sells pre-programmed PICs to people to mod their controllers. I was buying chip kits from some guy before I figured out he was trying to get me to do a batch order of several hundred. When he has "a guy" working on the code for new features that, coincidentally happen to be in the todo list of some of the freelance coders, I finally got wise to his system.

    People make me sick.

    oh mah gawdddd. people here are so stuck up. I meant build something "like this" from scratch. You know, a memory flasher based on an avr isn't hard to do. CAUSE, why not do something for the community instead of your pocket?

    I would say KRIKzz is doing this for the community, the Everdrive-MD sells for $65 which I personally think is a very reasonable price considering all its features. At present I dont think anyone could build a flashcart with similar features for a lower cost.

    Also, why shouldn't make KRIKzz make a little bit of money out of this? He designed and manufactured it, and any extra money he makes is a great incentive for him to keep improving the OS/Menu. I'm also sure that the profits from the Everdrive-MD have at least partially funded the development of the SNES Everdrive.

    Why should he hold you hand doing it? He doesn't own the idea of making a flash cart. He's not the only one that knows how and is keeping it from all of us. Anyone can make one. He did the research to design his, why should he just give that away? Plus as Link83 said, it's not like he's selling this for some really high price and making millions. So even if you went and made your own you would probably spend more money doing that than just buying one from him. The only reason to want to build your own would be if you planned to expand the design such as to include a FPGA that you would use to emulate chips like Super FX. But somehow I doubt anyone is planning on doing that.

    Yes, that's why I asked if he's gonna upload everything, cause unlike some people I've got some chips on stock and could make it for myself cheaper, without the cost of the PCB, soldering etc. Let's just end it at that. If I'll make something like this, I'll be sure to let you guys know.

    krikzz does good work then some people want to make fake carts
    krikzz does hard work on makeing up these carts.
    krikzz put me down for one i will buy one when you have these made up buddy.
    i will have to get some hook ups for my snes console now and some nice controllers.
    how much cutting do we have to do to fit them in cart case.

    Some of you may have heard about Ikari_01's project ? He is the one who released the source for SNES CIC clone (used by SNES Powerpak, breaking GPL btw..). He's working on a similar project, but he intends to release everything under GPL. So yeah, there are still hackers who are not afraid or thiefs.
    I didn't intend to bash KRIKzz (I bought him a everdrive), but as everybody laughed at xmog123x's request, I thought it would be a good idea to post ;)

    If the Powerpak use the code unmodified it doesn't break the GPL licence.

    The source code (original or unmodified) must be available on the main web page, or at least a link to download the source. There are no reference to the GPL on this page.
