My thoughts exactly. 8 everdrives in my collection now, with number 9 already pre-ordered. Plus one non-everdrive branded flash card.

Leaning towards those aswell, but then on the other hand I could just make dedicated emulation PC for 200 or so Euros.
I already have high quality SNES to USB and NES to USB controller adapters.
This would also allow high quality video without expensive video mods, and eliminate the SNES FX chip problem.

I have an Everdrive for the Sega Genesis because it's my favorite system of all time. While I have a decent collection, and I really enjoy collecting for it, I find I use the Everdrive most for ROM hacks and homebrew games.
I also have an Everdrive for the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine. I recently bought a TG16, but I knew going in that I could never afford even a fraction of the HuCard games I wanted to play.

Those are worth $100 each (or more), so $50 is a good price. Are they complete with manuals?

Had a hard time believing these games were worth that much... Then I looked up some eBay sales. Holy Crap! Might have to consider selling some the Genesis games (all complete). I play using an EverDrive almost all the time anyway. And we are going to need money to move soon...

Just a year ago or so, I was seeing these, loose, for anywhere from $25-$40, and complete, anywhere from $50-$75. Now, you're lucky to get a loose one for under $50! It's ridiculous!

No manuals, but I had to just pull the trigger anyway. HA HA! I figured, down the road, a manual or two might show up on Ebay and probably cheaper than buying a complete version which included the manual.

You'll probably find the manuals eventually if you're interested. Still a good price regardless. Rule of thumb with Genesis collecting is 50/25/25. Take a complete game and the cartridge accounts for 50% of the value, manual is 25% and original artwork is 25%.
