Retro-Donald Final Expansion 3 and EasyF lash

Post by Diddl »

Cause some questions about Retro-Donald in other threads I have contacted him to get informations about FE3 and EF support.


He wrote to me, he cannot speak english. So he doesn't know about your questions.

Currently neither EF nor FE3 is available in his shop. But EF is ordered (about 50 units) and will be available next time.

FE3 will be ordered after a while (also 50 units). So FE3 will be available in a few weeks I hope.

==

The problem is Retro-Donald must pre-finance the hardware and so it is not possible to do all things at same time. After selling some articles he buy other sets.

The other problem is, currently no cases are available. For EF only yellow cases would be available. For FE3 everyone have to get a case himself by using old unused or defective cartridges.

All orders are in Pre Order list and will be processed as soon as possible.

It is a hobby and it need your patience ... ;)

But I think it is better so than no hardware.

===

Excuse my bad english, hope it is understandable.

I'm guessing they're the same kind?


Your English is perfectly fine to me.

Yes, but EF was calculated at €20 without any benefit. The red cases are too expensive. Currently you cannot get a better price for red ones even if you take 50 or more pieces.

For the EasyFlash yes, but not the FE3. ;-)

Retro Donald always follows through but he can take up to a week or more to respond to requests. I've bought from him once, but I have another order with him for some more USB Joystick Adapters. Don't let the slow communication deter you; you will get whatever you order from him, eventually. :)
