I had to do it. DX is not reliable with it anymore, and I can't find an appropriate store. All I've ever bought was from DX. So who knows where I can buy the cheapest Cyclo that ships to Europe? Thank you.

Usually Europe is much more expensive than US because if Cyclo is 50$ in US it is 50 E in Europe. Also all european sites charge shipping ALOT to Romania. I tried too.
You can try divineo.cn or divineo.com they have Cyclo and intl. shipping at about 10$, but you have to use Western Union.

Is ConsoleUP trustworthy? They tax $14 for shipping with a tracking number and a WHOPPING +2% tax for using PayPal!! This brings the total cost of a $55 Cyclo order to $76(1,8 million RON) which is ridiculous. Are there any other sites?

I can't use Divineo unless they support PayPal...

You can try the Cyclo site and search some asian/american resellers who accept paypal and ship intl.
It's just too expensive from Europe.

Their prices seem okay. I've only one question on the resellers page on GBAtemp it says you gotta email them before ordering overseas does this still apply?

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
