Did any one manage to grab the info from Val's site about his homebrew Back-up unit for the N64 ? , and if so can you post it somewhere. Im not sure if it's just those damn slow Rusky servers but his site seems to have bitten the dust..

Sorry , my bad. His server must have choked yesterday cos it was down for a few hours in the morning (UK Time), its back up now tho.

Oh well .. is anybody interested in one of these units cos i think ill get some PCB,s knocked up... lemme know.

Round about the time Bung stopped making stuff, there was a lot of talk, and I was approched by 2 german guys who were going to go intro production of Valery's n64 copier and a clone of the GBX.

The guys had access to equipment to make the PCB's cheaply (I suspect one of them was doing it for free at work). and were trying to find someone to sell the units.

As dextrose is'nt about selling things I was unable to help them, but did point them in the direction of some retailers..

No idea what happened, but I did'nt see any signs of anyone selling the things.

If you do manage to make the things, do feel free to send a sample of the unit to me for review :>

Could you post the email of those guys please, Redbox? I´m really interested in buying one of these units (without RAM) but I do not have the knowledge to build one on my own...
