Would Someone Make Me a Label For My Everdrive N8

[nusilver]

Will do, should be able to jump on this tonight...


[UPDATE]

Getting there...

As well as a couple Salamander carts, I have a box of successfully opened carts ready to trim and prep for those interested:



One thing I will say is - don't even try this with Jaleco carts, they really shatter under even the slightest pressure.  
I had to open all these with my hands because I don't have rubber grips, so it may be possible to avoid breaking them, but I won't try any more Jaleco carts.  
They seemed a good choice because most are very cheap, but I have found Namco cases the second easiest to open.  

The Salamander carts shells are made of very flexible plastic (translucent side-effect I guess) and took very little effort to open, for those interested in doing this themselves and wary of messing it up.

PM'ing you

I've put one by for you Al.  Choose your 'official' label sticker by Arcade:

...or you can have whatever's on the cart, or a custom design.  I've made multiple different 'pulseline' versions myself as well in case red doesn't work.

I might even try a gold cart, like this beauty:


Looks great, but you'll miss the lightshow the N8 offers when it's in use.  I also have a spare Salamander cart I'm going to prep and charge for.  

Not sure what to do with these Salamander PCBs now, re-case them in pirate shells?

That is a nice looking gold plated cartridge where did you get that

That's Super Xevious if I'm not mistaken.

That's right.  Though I must say I'd strongly recommend against black or gold-coated carts, as you miss out on the N8's light-show.  even navy carts will let the light shine through, but I couldn't see it on a Namco cart.

The gold Super Xevious cart is basically a black plastic cart with gold paint coating.  The coating isn't on the bottom of the cart where you see the pins.  I don't like that either.

hey, L___E___T, if you don't have any pre-opened carts/labels you can send me for my N8, can you offer some advice on how you got those carts open by hand? My wife and I will be spending some time at my dad's in a couple of weeks and I'm sure he has a grip of some sort I could use, but man...when I tried to open a Clu-Clu Land cart last night, it didn't seem like I made any progress at all (trying to be gentle and not break any clips.)

Just wondering have you any carts ready. I can't wait to get one off you.

I am being kept very busy at work so haven't made much progress.  I have one done for MarioMania and one nearly done for you Al.

Just wondering are you having any joy finishing the shell. Might sound a bit ott but at the moment I'm wrapping up the everdrive every day in bubblewrap when I finish using the famicom. Love to get a shell from you if your finished because I want to mind it Ha ha. 

Let me know either way because I might have another go at trying not to mangle a shell.

Al.

[L___E___T]

Have one yellow shell and one red shell done

Was going to post pics with labels, but yes finally some progress!

[nusilver]

My Everdrive arrived in the city I work in today, but since I'm working from home, I won't get it until tomorrow. In any case, I can't remember if I mentioned it, L___E___T, but I ended up making my own case using an Excitebike. The label's not perfect - I used regular paper with tape for gloss, then some industrial-strength adhesive that caused some tightening of the tape (hence the bubbling, which has gone down considerably over the past week) -  but it'll do:

Awesome. Can I arrange to purchase a shell from you? If the red one is available I'd love it but at this stage I'm not fussy.

Al.

[L___E___T]

Sure Al, I've prepped a red case for you:




I was really precise with this and it's a clean shell.  I've just got to add the labels (back label had writing)

Also have a yellow shell prepped for Mario Mania:


Next up is an Adventure time shell.  Think I would rather leave the label as is on this one, once I've cleaned the cart:

[Cmonster]

Can I assume I am on deck next?  The red one looks soo good!

[Alter Egotist]

Looks amazing l_e_t.

How much do I owe you?

The label is gonna look super nice on that shell. And my everdrive will look even nicer in it. Ha ha.

Al.

[L___E___T]

Ok Al what colour was your first choice?  I think Salamander is goin to be problematic so I have to rule those out for now.  So yellow is already put by for MarioMania, that leaves one red (textured), one white Adventure Island done and one grey Capcom cart done.  Pics to come.  CMonster just let me know your first and second colour choice I'll make yours as of now.

Think I have some more red carts around.  Also I found out Irem carts are no good
