Got a little question: the GDEMU really sounds intriguing, but apparently it is super hard to get one of those, since its maker only ever can produce a small quantity. udnerstandably so, since this is a private venture. Nonetheless, I checked on ebay and prices for this little wonder are insane. Does anyone know how often the creator makes the GDEMU available for purchase?! I know you could also isntall an HDD/SSD, but I am not a fan of all the soldering and stuff. GDEMU is just a perfect solution. Thx!

It's really tricky to get one. He opens pre-orders a few times a year and then they sell out really fast (apparently his last batch sold out in less than 5 minutes). Your best bet would probably see if you can find a way to get a notification every time he posts on his Wordpress site.

There's also the USB-GDROM which is similar in nature to the GDEMU except it uses USB sticks instead of SD cards. From what I hear it's easier to order one, but I've also heard that they guy's communication is pretty bad (broken English and slow response time). Nevertheless, here's a link if you're interested: http://3do-renovation.ru/USB-GDROM_Controller.htm

Does the USB one, sound 10x better, because he's making it sound 10x better, because it's his device haha? I love that table comparison he has, he literally pokes fun at the GDEMU :D

My personal favourite is:
Design: USBGDROM - Excellent , GDEMU - Bad
Totally not bias at all :rotflmao:
