This looks amazing!
Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge
I received mine today. The excitement quickly went away when I noticed the cartridge was damaged. No way could I attempt plugging it in. A follow up email was sent. Already receive a response Now it’s waiting time again

Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge
I received mine yesterday. There were six layers of proper, protective, wrapping around it, so I fear you must have been very unlucky with your cartridge. I hope your replacement comes through quickly!

Received mine this week also, and it came with some serious protective packaging! Cartridge looks and runs great.

Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge
Mine arrived earlier this week, and it was packed well enough to be thrown off a 5 story building and survive the trip. Man, this cartridge is loaded for bear with all sorts of fun software. I like the new RAM config options too
Edit: I should proof-read better in the future. I didn't mean to imply that my cartridge was shoddily packed.

Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge
8 bit show and tell has a good look at the games on this, he says there will be a part 2 to look at the utilities and other features.
Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge
All looking great

Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge
I saw the 8-Bit Show and Tell video on YT last night and despite already owning a Mega-Cart, I'm tempted. The random game selector is an awesome feature and it's already drawn my attention to some games that had gone under the radar

Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge
The cartridge doesn't have an internal buffered clock, correct?

Re: New penultimate-plus-2-cartridge
Gorf is contained in the cartridge section of PU+2. No need to install RAM of whatever size and soft-load the game from SD2IEC. The menu software of PU+2 should take care of this.
