I'm considering buying a G6 Lite 4G for it's great GBA/DS compatability, speed, and small size, what would be the cheapest shop to buy it from if you are in the netherlands

Current option:
www.divineo.de

Watch out with ordering from Divineo, there are quite a few people complaining about them in the G6 forum (and in SuperCard Lite threads):

I ordered from Divineo.de and had no problems with them

But I think if I would order again I would order from Divineo's Chineze site (cheaper then German site) or Hopebuy.com as suggested.
And don't worry about the customs... they useally send it as a 'gift' and I believe they don't charge anything with a value below 100 euro's anyway.

I always order from winsunx. They give you discount if you ask for it, new members always receive 5% discount on their order and the shipping is totally trackable via the www.dhl.com website. It usually arrives in like 4 days. Ordered a Passcard 3 and a Supercard Lite (English) including DHL shipment for $87!!! That's like 70 euro!! I also have another supercard lite coming in from divineo.com out of the USA and I will sell that one to anybody interested.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you can pay them with PayPal, which is my favourite Internet Payment Method.

Much cheaper and the shipping is as fast as from germany (stay away from divineo france, ordered a few times and never got my stuff)

You can pay with IBAN/BIC on there german or france account (the used to have local accounts in Belgium and Netherland, but that was long ago, dunno if the still have them)

(for the record, the ship there goods you ordered from divineo China often from divineo Germany

, but that for the price you payed listed @ divineo China)

I ordered 2 G6 Flash 4G *ENGLISH* version from Divineo.cn and I got both cards within a few days (depends on your shipment choice). The chinese website is cheaper then the german one and I had no problems with customs on both cards (they where ordered 1 week between each other). The people at Divineo.cn send the package as a gift of 20$ value. So there is less change that the dutch customs will pick your package out of the many and charge you extra taxes. BUT there is always the CHANGE that they do

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
