Another flashcart released yesterday by Krizz and it's already out of stock in all the stores so I guess you'll just have to wait until they restock but you can buy one from http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/master-everdrive-non-usb once they're back :).

*Edit*: it might be good to mention that this cart does only run SMS roms ON the Gamegear with one of those adapters , it does not run GG roms on the GG (or well it does but with wrong palette and unworking joypad mapping). So if you want a true GG flashcart then wait a while cause hes working on one:).

Archived interview with Lik Sang founder Alex Kampl.

Heres a archived interview with the founder of Lik Sang that was done by kcgeek.com.

"Lik Sang opened its web site in late 1997 and shipped cutting edge products to its first customers on a word-of-mouth basis. I came to Hong Kong with the first long term business plan worked out together with my former partner who later left the company behind. I have used every single product which was on sale through the company myself, for testing reasons or for personal entertainment. I have been in the gaming "scene" since the 8-bit ages."

Pictures of Lik Sangs old store in Hong Kong 2003.

Here are some pictures I found in the old Dextrose archive of the old Lik Sang store which I assume must have been in Hong Kong. Credit goes to whoever took these and posted them over at Dextrose or wherever they originally came from:).

My friend got busted for selling Doctor V64s 1998.

Fear the "dangerous systems"! ;).

Here's a funny news clipping I found, or well it's funny in retrospect but when it happened it maybe wasn't so funny. My friend basically got busted for selling Doctor V64 backup units back in the day, and if you're in the UK then theres a pretty good chance he sold you one;).

If you compare this with the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Player_Super_Joy_III#Legal_issues case then he was lucky and now we can look back and laugh at it.

One funny thing with the V64 was that Acclaim used them as dev units to code games like Turok, so technically they were using an illegal device to create games with! ;).

Espgaluda II,Ibara,Mushihime-tama & Death Smiles running in Demul.

I guess sound emulation isn't there yet thus the added youtubechooseyourownmusictothevideoclip-music , keep up the good work demul coder dude!:)

Now you can put your japanese 360 on ebay;).

"Expand your Pippin to meet your needs"

"The Pippin is expandable if you need additional capabilities. You can add a disk drive for storing your information by simply snapping on a component. Or add a color printer to print out your letters and creations. Because it is expandable, the Pippin will be able to grow with your needs and won't be obsolete as technology changes.

The Pippin also has the ability to interface with the new digital camera technology, so users can use the input from digital photos to create original postcards, greeting cards and posters."

Sweet moma! , I wonder if those expansion plates were ever released?.
