July 2016 hauls. Summer is crazy (doesn't apply in southern hemisphere).
Too Beaucoup:

Do you have the manual... and mind scanning it...

If I do have the manual I will do so... But the more I've been thinking about it, I think I've got it ass backwards and I have the cover not the manual. I'll check when I get home and let you know.

I assumed you could make covers, just wasn't sure if you knew the exact measurements for resizing the UGC covers for Genesis cases, that's the only reason I linked that. I had no idea what the proper dimensions were until I found the thread.

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

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.

My bigger priorities are the systems harder to emulate, like N64 and Virtual Boy, as NES, Genesis and SNES emulation is basically flawless at this point, thouhg I may opt for one as I like the original hardware. I hear someone is working on a Saturn flash cart.
I probably won't be able to afford one for a while, right now my to-buy list is full of video equipment and other un-fun purchases, like a new desk or mouse pad (Been using the same one for probably a decade, it's a Gateway one) I jut got a new office chair after the back of my my old one broke (though I was able to turn it into a foot stool) and I just broke another part of a already janky microphone., looking for alternatives though I may try to track down another Radio Shack one like I got (They go for $20 on eBay, not the worst considering I know they last a long time, got these 2 years ago, 1 still is fine)
I also need lighting, a new tripod (My camera is taped to my old one), and some backdrops for future Figure reviews, I dodged a bullet on the battery, as it stopped charging, I dropped the camera, and it charges again.
I also need another Component switch box, and an HDMI one as well and a better way to handle AC adapters so they are not all plugged in at once.

Yeah, something like that. ^
How is it?

I've been very happy with it. I use three of them currently and I'm thinking about getting two more which would allow me to have everything switched.
The only downside is that the big bricks don't fit on the back without overlapping on another plug. So I use very short (approx. 6") extension cords to run from the brick to the back of the switch box.
And yes, the Genesis has to use three switches. I need to get one of those power supplies that covers all three pieces (Gen, CD and 32x).
