    Forgive me if this has already been discussed but has anything been mentioned in regard to getting Paprium running on a Mega SG via firmware updates or the like?  Mostly just curious if this is even possible to do with a firmware update, by other means, or even at all.  Has anything been said in the discord channels?

     

     

    Llink for those whom aren’t familiar with Paprium

    I’ve seen no mention of it at all.  I would like to know this as well.  I’ve done Google searches with no answer. You’re actually the first person that actually asked as far as I know.

    Forgive me, but what is the point of using a flash cart, which loads ROM files, when you have a jail-break, which can load the same files more directly? Does the Everdrive (N8 I presume) have some advantage, like better extended audio or other custom chip support that some real games might have used? If that is the reason I can understand that, otherwise it seems redundant.

     

    The biggest factor for me is the newer N8 Pro has multiple save states, which the jailbreak doesn't have.

    I really love my Nt mini noir, but for it being a limited release why do a genesis core that uses 3 to 6 buttons controller?  Wouldn't it made more sense to do a PC Engine core that has a 2 button layout like the NES? Very odd they didn't add this to the jailbreak?  It wouldn't hurt they new pc engine duo fpga console,  Nt mini noir is only  in limited quantities anyways. 

     

    I for one hope they add this to noir jailbreak update?

    I find this scenario especially disturbing, as many other vendors and sites tend to handle customs so customers don't need to. I've ordered many things from the UK and other parts of Europe and never had any issue. So either Analogue is dropping the ball with shipping (an area which generally has appeared to be an issue for some time) or the UK is doing something dodgy with the importing, as half the cost of the product really is fishy and reeks of corruption.

     

    My last analogue console I bought Mega sg I had to pay £75 custom charge.  £201 was taking it too far.  I also bought a t-shirt from the US a couple weeks ago and custom charged me £15.  That was nearly the cost the the t-shirt.  UK customs are *****.  I'm done buying anything else over the pond.

    WTF is this?!?

     

    I don't understand why this happened? Your customs fee is literally 50% of the product?!

     

    With shit like that, you can mail future purchases to a friend in the states and they could just forward it to you. I'd be happy to do that for free for anyone who needs help. That's crazy!

    It's crazy.  This whole year is shit.  I called fed ex and they said some times this happens and there is nothing they could do.  If i didn't pay it I wouldn't get my nt mini so I paid it.  I was in shock how much they wanted at first.  My sister lives in Minnesota, but I don't like to bother her, but after this shit show I might ask her if I ever do buy from the states again.  If this was anything else other then a nt mini I wouldn't have paid and got a refund, but I so want my nt mini noir.

     I'm not familiar with how custom charges work --- that mean that you've paid for the product, plus shipping fees, and now Fed Ex is saying you owe an additional $268 before they'll give it to you?   If so, man that stinks... 

     

    Tell me about it.  I'm not happy, but if I didn't pay it I wouldn't get my nt mini noir.  This will be the last time I order from the states.  I got nailed last time too, but this one is way worse.  Customs here in the UK is evil.  If I want something from the states I'll have to get it on ebay which tbh is a little cheaper the then this total bullshit extortion.

    Yes, please disregard my previous post, as it seems I was confused. They have that preorder button on the system's page that you can click on, but I forgot that it takes you to the separate store page, which is the place where it actually lets you buy stuff... or doesnt allow you to buy stuff, in this case.

     

    haha I saw that too lol.  It's just a order page.  tough luck for those that got excited 😄

    So glad I'm not interested this time. Just not into handheld gaming any more.  Feel bad for all that really wanted it.  This is going to piss off many.  I think analogue should have waited longer to make sure they had enough for longer then 8 mins?  The Nt Mini Noir was around for a week then sold out.  I think many will remember this debacle.

    How do you work that out? $300 + shipping ($50 based on their current rates) is roughly £271. Tax isn’t £180...

     

    Im in the U.K. and in my experience the import tax roughly equals the difference between currencies so I’d expect the total cost to be roughly £350. Which is still a lot!


    You having a laugh mate.  My Nt mini I had a custom charge of £130 and the £60 they charge me for shipping, not counting any fees from analogue and my bank. to be honest It’ll probably even end up being more.
