onemoretime Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Very much considering one of these, but have read where folk had issues getting them going. Is that in the minority? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I own one of the Ultimate SD carts for my 5200 and never had any issues with it. What issues have you seen reported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick3092 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Same here, it just works. The only "issue" you may have is the guy who makes them is often very busy with real life. So shipping and communication with him may be slow. But you will get the cart after you order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What issues have you seen reported? Nothing in particular. I ve been watching these for a very long time. Every now and again it s kinda the same reports... Timing issues with certain chipsets, and sd cards that won t work with it. I guess my question is, is it fiddly? I don t mind spending that kind of scratch on something if I can set it up one time and then leave it alone. What I m not interested in is another never ending project, as I have plenty of those. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I have one too and have mostly just set it up and left it alone. It came with everything pre-installed on a micro sd card with adapter. I backed everything up to a SanDisk 8gb class 4 card and continue to use it. From time to time I’ve added new ROMs and have not had any issues with my cart. Works as advertised and I’m honestly happy with my purchase. I like mine so much, that I’ll probable buy the Colecovision Ultimate SD cart, once I receive my CollectorVision Phoenix console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Mine also came with an SD card that worked out of the box. However, I did find that the Bad Apple demo played sluggishly and discovered that was due to the speed of the included SD card. So I put a class 10 Sandisk SD card and haven't had any issues. I also own the CV Ultimate SD as well and that too just works. The only flash device I've had any issues with is my Mateos 16 in 1 for the 7800. But that has more to do with that cart just being picky about USB cables and the OS you use it with. My LTO Flash for the Intellivision was having issues as well about a year ago or so? But after I did a restore to it from a prior backup it has been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) The Mateos is picky. I keep a Windows XP laptop around just for use with my Mateos. Hmm. I may upgrade to a Class 10 card too. ? Edited August 18, 2019 by sramirez2008 Class 10 SanDisk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
