Has absolutely nothing to do with the ~$60,000 worth of kits they haven't delivered I am sure.ldeveraux wrote:As one of the few people from this thread I haven't blocked, I saw your post and wondered what the hell was going on here.

Honestly... this post is pretty based. I withdraw my previous comment. I guess if we're gonna h8 on them we may as well be accurate about it. The turner bros are the "take $60,000 and run" type of scum, not the NFT type of scum <3
kinda mad I wasted that 007 pic now

Wow this makes it even worse to me. i thought the brothers where just offline due to personal issues, but this makes me really angry too. I told my little son for 2 years now we will play N64 on big screen via HDMI after we finished soldering and im tired of postponing it. will get a kit somewhere else and consider my 150€ as gone with the spare cable.robertwhamm wrote:James is publicly very active on linked in and twitter about the NFT project he works for as a 'community builder' - if only he could spare a couple hours of his day to type up another great word salad sob story to string us all along for another year.

Sad story was so positive the last 2 years but now im just dissaappointed by the brothers.

Re: UltraHDMI group-buy ROUND 7 - 2021-01-30 UPDATE
Was expecting the N64 that I wanted to have the UltraHDMI installed gone along with the money I paid for it to be missing as well at this point.
Been waiting for over a year now and don't expect to get it back anytime soon, just going to write it off as a loss now.

This is what everyone has done. If you haven't yet you're holding onto dreams. Turners took the money and consoles and ran.

Is there any chance for us here to get/even buy a Digital64 kit or are they all gone too already?

A while back in this thread, Dan Kunz at PixelFX (aka @citrus3000psi aka Black Dog Tech) offered to make available one N64Digital kit to each person on this waitlist. It would be worth getting in touch and see if that offer still stands. New N64Digitals might be ready in June (https://twitter.com/citrus3000psi/statu ... 1386627073), so if that is the case, perhaps you can get one in that upcoming batch.flipsideaut wrote:Is there any chance for us here to get/even buy a Digital64 kit or are they all gone too already?

Dan Tweeted out a few days ago that he thought he'd have some N64 Digital kits ready to put up for sale in June. Limited amounts, obviously. I'd give him a follow there.

I was interested in joining this, I guess I am lucky I didn't.
I can't tell if this has been added to this thread, but I thought it might be worth informing people:

So are you ever going to refund my money or respond to my emails?
Emmett Turner
Sorry, but I am merely the installer and have no idea who you are. I was never the email guy either so I presume it’s my brother who has not responded. If you have emailed me please know that I barely even use personal email except for the things that require it so I do not typically check and reply. I will be searching for “Derek” once this reply is finished but, again, I’m not the one who can help with that other than to tell you what’s going on with my brother.
The disaster has left me injured with limited transportation among other difficulties but I don’t want to concern people with those details so I will likely be editing this reply soon. My brother is out of the country to finish business that was interrupted by the pandemic while he was gone last year. He has left so much on my plate that I can’t even begin to look into it without quitting my job… so I’ve already turned in my resignation. Last day is the 15th. Don’t know how I will resolve the transportation/living situation without taking a huge leap like this so that I can get rid of everything and close the storage units/workshop that collectively cost more than rent ever did.
What I have done in my brother’s absence is continue performing installs for the consoles that have come through since he left… only three since he left Nov 20th. It’s going to be rough but things are still moving slowly.
In case you thought this SNES repair was a distraction from the group buy, this very console was for an UltraHDMI group buyer who got his consoles done at the same time. “Shoebopper,” if I remember correctly. Even then, I am throttled by my brother. I believe the best course of action for me is to repair, mod, and sell as many of our personal consoles as possible while waiting for the next group buyers’ N64s.
Derek
I’m sorry you’ve been in such a difficult situation. Maybe it was your brother who I was communicating with. The email was jevansturner. I think it’s just the lack of communication that’s been frustrating. I sent $200 almost a year ago and starting asking for a refund back in early July through email and Venmo but never received a response.
Emmett Turner
I totally understand. I tried to help with the public communication so he could focus on getting through the list but he demanded that I stop. It was making things worse because some would distort everything I said with bad-faith misrepresentations. I haven’t even looked at the thread since because I know I wouldn’t be able to hold my tongue.
Yes, Evans is my twin brother. Substitute “emmett” in there (three Ts in a row) if you need to email me but remember that I don’t check it regularly and may need a heads-up. :)
I’ll gladly send you my personal number if you need it.
Re: UltraHDMI group-buy ROUND 7 - 2021-01-30 UPDATE
Thanks for sharing. This is pretty much what I figured. When they stopped posting this thread was a complete s-show. Their house got leveled by a tornado the same time N64Digital was announced and there was a bank run looking for refunds. I didn't blame them at the time for going MIA, this place was toxic, but I hoped work on the g-b would resume quietly.Golastian wrote: Emmett Turner

Marshall is just as guilty, IMO. He knows tons of people are on the line for his product. He could chime in and give an accounting of what has been paid for. There is lots of speculation where the money is, but it's possible the kits are paid in full and Marshall just hasn't delivered yet.
All I know is unless shipments resume or refunds start going out, there is no other "update" the brothers can give that would satisfy the trolls in this thread.
Re: UltraHDMI group-buy ROUND 7 - 2021-01-30 UPDATE
Just tossing this out there, the Ultra HDMI v2 has been in stock for months at Retro Game Repair Shop. Yeah, it's $249 but you could find 10% off coupons all over the place.
I know this doesn't help anyone that's currently on the list and who have paid. I hope this could help someone if they're still dead set on getting a kit that's in stock.

I will survive losing $130 but on principal, I can't help but feel duped. This has changed the way I deal with communities; no matter how tight-knit and passionate they are.
I will never understand how people can sleep with so many people wanting their product and or money back. Overall very disappointing display of humanity here.

If anyone cares, Dan got a small amount of N64 Digital kits finally and will be putting them up for sale near the end of June. He said he should have some safeguards in place to thwart bots or scalpers. Follow PixelFX on Twitter.

Maybe the Turner brothers would have sent me a refund already if I had just posted more.

Re: UltraHDMI group-buy ROUND 7 - 2021-01-30 UPDATE
So awkward moment where I eat my words and suck it up and say that your console and hundreds of kits are actually in the brothers hands.
I have spoken with Julian who has provided me with proof of not only my console still existing in the original packaging I shipped it in, but also a treasure trove of ultra hdmi kits in their possession.
The bottleneck here is on James who was the man primarily running the show not allowing Julian to proceed with completing orders.
I have no idea why or what the issue is between the Two but I have offered to help in any way possible with the situation to see if we can’t push this thing across the finish line.
I don’t want to be the sole squeaky wheel that gets greased. I want everyone to be made whole in this.
I’ll keep you guys updated.

Re: UltraHDMI group-buy ROUND 7 - 2021-01-30 UPDATE
It's not hard to figure out. The money is gone and they don't want to pay (can't afford to) ship the units back now. Put your tin foil hats on, but It's only a matter of time before they start "re-selling" the kits somewhere else via another site or in person, or just dumping the kits in a dumpster somewhere. If they haven't started doing it already. >.<
I only paid for one install and never sent my N64. Which is nothing compared to some. I feel for the people that bought more and sent their console(s). There are people on list that paid thousands in advance. :/
It just sucks. What can we do though?

Re: UltraHDMI group-buy ROUND 7 - 2021-01-30 UPDATE
As I said earlier, I am an outsider with no involvement in this situation.
I don't get the impression the money is gone, I think everything is in stasis because James is now refusing to deal with the situation and has left the country.
James seems to be holding everyones money/gear hostage because of a few trolls on here. Julian still seems to open to communication outside of here though.
You need to organise some kind of group legal action against James to get everything returned. Julian should be forced to pick a side, either he cooperates in action against his brother or be classed as complicit in holding onto other peoples property. Having the local police turn up to discuss stolen property might be enough to kick them into doing something. Maybe the moderators here could sort something out so the brothers can return to posting and with a zero tolerance approach to trolling.
People here also need to learn to hold their tongues, none of this childish insult throwing or meme picture posting. In my eyes they share some (a very small amount) of the responsibility for this happening unfortunately.

Re: UltraHDMI group-buy ROUND 7 - 2021-01-30 UPDATE
We'll all be here 5 years from now still discussing these theories.
Whatever picture evidence that dude got above was probably his gear when it first arrived. So he's standing right next to your console? Why no offer to send a pre-paid box to him so he can send it back to you, why no offer to send you your money back?
I'll tell you why, it's a sham and if you even did talk to him, he's covering for his bro and trying to sew the seeds of confusion to buy even more time, hoping this whole thing just fades away, people stop bothering them, and they can get on with their lives. If you corner them, anything they say will be to get to that end. It'll be excuses out the ass. Textbook behavior of sleezebags that owe money they don't got.
I'd love to see their faces if someone finds out where they sleep and shows up at the front door to ask for their money back, preferably appearing as a violent bookie.
