[QUOTE="CyberAxe, post: 4113413, member: 125042"] He seems to be swamped just now and not answering emails promptly, however he is shipping out, a few days after I posted about mine (not long after emailing him) I got an email saying it had been sent and got a tracking number, got it just over a week ago and it works great (as long as you dont use bad ROMs as I was to start with) As for the everdrive 64 it's not as feature rich, compatibility is not as good iirc and you have to PAY or firmware upgrades. So just to let everyone know, he's still shipping, if he's a little unable to keep up with emails and such at the mo.
