Glad to see things are moving! Thanks
I was asked when James confirmed my shipping address.

Great video! I believe it’s the first one on YouTube for HW2 and it will serve as a great reference for anyone.Lord_Thoth wrote:Hi,
i made a YouTube Video on how to install the UltraHDMI HW2 including the DAC.

I hope this might be helpful!
When he gets to you he’ll review all past correspondence including anything he hasn’t read yet, so letting him know ahead of time can’t hurt. Of course, he’ll need discuss payment for the DAC and may ask you to re-confirm some things since circumstances have changed (N64Digital!).bherdm wrote:If we'd like to add the DAC, should we wait until we're contacted, or should we let someone know ahead of time?

I can’t even count the trips I’ve made to the airport post office (40 minutes away!) in the last month in addition to daily runs locally. Refunds are processed one at a time as we go through the list/ship, exactly like I said. Not one request has been skipped, yet here you are implying that we aren’t even shipping.tusecsy wrote:Meanwhile they make 4 paragraph excuses for why they can't hit "refund" in paypal. Or ship people items they actually have in hand.
Marshall reacted as expected and we’ve said as much, so not sure what dishonesty you think this exposes. Reacting is undeniably good. N64Digital is everything we’ve been asking for and if it spurs Marshall to do better... GOOD. I’m excited for both.tusecsy wrote:Also notice the amazing coincidence that as soon as PixelFX announces a superior product, Marshall suddenly has a fire lit under his ass.

We had to file and lubricate nearly every one before switching to Greg’s design but this is the first I’ve heard of one of those doing it... if it is one of those. Sounds like we might’ve accidentally grabbed one of the old Thingiverse designs from years ago since we still have some black ones around. Greg’s is so much better we deliberately avoid using the older ones.Elrinth wrote:btw, that 3d printed replacement dustflaps-holder you installed in my n64. It makes so once a cart is inserted then removed, the flaps stay open forever cause they get stuck in the edges of the holder. Only way for me to close them again is to disassemble the n64...
so I opened it up and filed for crazy until they go open and close very easily. after 1 hour it now works better. but the nice black pvc plastic or whatever was 3d printed now don't look as professional any more
I'm not too over the top with the whole situation, so if anyone could answer the above I'd greatly appreciate it. My name in the buy-group list is "enrique-ramirez", row #383. Thank you!I know I’m still pretty far away on the queue, but I noticed DAC was also now an option. I’d like to include it on my order, if possible. I’m also wondering if I should be looking for an N64 on eBay and have that shipped over to you or if you were able to find one. Do let me know.

The serial numbers only go about 20/100 deep on that scum bag opportunist "Retro-HDMI"'s order. Oh how I would love to know if they get stuck holding the bag when the competition arrives.
But thank you Czroe for the updates. I'm appreciative of your efforts. If I didn't feel so close to getting my kit, I would 100% switch to the N64 Digital out of pure spite toward the creator.
That's how scalping works though, there's nothing you can do about it except limit the number of replicates per buyer. That's why (pre COVID) concert ticket vendors put caps on sales. Honestly, what else could have happened when you're selling something at cost and someone buys 100 of them?NeverCameBack wrote:It has nothing to do with my place on the list. There could be 1000 end users in front of me, and I'm happy hobbyists like myself are getting their kits. What makes me not so happy is a reseller cutting a bunch of people out of the group buy - or majorly delaying them - so that HE can sell them to these people at his own prices. I don't know why the brothers let it happen either, if anything they should be getting first dibs on the install service, that should be part of their icing on the cake on this. The fact that he pre-sold product that he does not have possession of doesn't make him any better. I get wanting to sell as many kits as possible (even tho the creator obviously doesn't want this), but knowing the scarcity and limited production of these things... They should have told that reseller they'd put him down for 5 kits and he would be back-ordered on the rest. If I was some inventor of a product, I would def be taking steps to make sure someone else isn't setting up a profitable business off of my limited production capabilities. When scalpers are making more money off your product than you are, you are doing it wrong.

I asked for a refund two months ago and never got a response. They had two months before the tornado to send me a refund. I'll give it a few more days before I just file a complaint with paypal.SonicAdvDX wrote:Bro... They LITERALLY just got hit by a tornado...

A man died while trying to check on his daughter during the storm. He was supposed to walk her down the aisle the next day. We got off amazingly easy for a direct hit, so please send your donations to his family or any of the other victims or charities who are helping:SonicAdvDX wrote:Good LORD, you guys could not possibly be any more unlucky...

I feel like us group-buyers should pitch in somehow to help you guys who have been trying so hard for so long to help all of us out at no benefit to yourselves... Have you guys considered a GoFundMe for repair costs, if they wind up being costly enough???
Thank you, but I feel the fastest way to put this behind me is a return to normalcy, and that includes resuming mod work. It was such a relief when someone recently bought my Hi-Def NES install service on eBay since it started a dialog about the services he wanted, like usual, and gave me even more incentive to get the work shop set up ASAP.danthropos wrote:So glad you both are OK. Truly unbelievable.
I am sure I speak for everyone here when I say (and it goes without saying): take all the time you need to get your own lives back in order, and please do not feel pressure to get back in front of a soldering iron before you are ready. At the end of the day these are just games we're talking about; your own well-being takes priority without question.
We haven’t been able to boot our laptops in over a week (no power) and we still have no Internet (even mobile Internet is disrupted) so it’s obviously NOT that straight forward.Socalju wrote:I just want my money back. It seems pretty straight forward. Transfer of funds takes two seconds. Please.

No, you didn’t... despite my repeated explanations. I hope it was just a misunderstanding because it sure feels like you were being deliberately obtuse to stir up trouble.Socalju wrote:Any word on refunds? I requested one weeks ago now. Thanks.
