I did think about this (a LS collection on evercade) but I'm not sure how we could make it work financially really. The market must be pretty small in the first place, and at only £15 a cart you don't stand to make a lot, and even that would have to be split between Evercade themselves, and presumably anyone whose emulator we'd have to use, and us. I'd love to see, say, a LS C64 collection on there with everything we ever did on c64, say, but I doubt it'd work out as worth our while in the end.

We are maybe thinking of doing an LS multicart for the real c64, maybe, that might stand a better chance and we'd not have to split that with anybody, and perhaps there are enough real c64 owners out there to make it work? I dunno. Thoughts for the future at this point.
Justified and Ancient.

Might be worth talking to them, though? At least the cartridge price doesn’t have to be split between other developers - the Indie Collection cart has 14 different devs.

And a bit more exposure, might pick up a few more fans...

That sounds intriguing and I know some people who could help...

Really pleased with the VS (I got the Founder’s Edition, too).

The arcade carts are really good, and the new Renovation one is a classic.

Still hoping for a Llamasoft cart…

Do we know which version of Llamatron is used in the Evercade Llamasoft Collection?

I've never really given much thought to the Evrcades, I've just got too many handhelds that are generally better and can emulate all this stuff.

However, the Neo Geo or Capcom Super Pockets were tempting me a little, and if I could slap a Llamasoft cart in it, that could be the final straw...

The link has a Buy Now, but it's not listed on any of the sites, do we have an idea on price/availability?

So weak.

Shop To had the Neo Geo Super Pocket in stock for £52, so ordered and then will get the Llamasoft cart when it comes out.

There is quite an impressive lineup of carts now for the Evercades.
