Divineo isn't bad...just that their methods of condoning products is a bit questionable, just remember to buy smart.

On a side note, I didn't buy a WiiKey from dealextreme, I bought:

- 1GB iPod Shuffle II knock off
- Rechargable Cube Speaker
- 10 White LED Lights
- USB-to-MIDI Cable (those things are like $50 bucks shipped)
- USB Bluetooth Adapter
- Cute Pig LED Flashlights

All for $52US shipped. Sweet deal if you ask me.

I took the bait, since foundmy still isn't listing the wiikey as in-stock.
Ended up buying a wiikey and an R4DS from DX.

Their Paypal reputation says that they're a 1000+ seller, which should be another plus for their reputation, hopefully.

i personally bought two R4s from them, and ordered two more
and also a crapload of other stuff from when they were still known as fifthunit

they're a reputable seller

note tho:
unless its something you already know (eg R4, wiikey), they're stuff comes from cheap chinese factories
and the quality would match what you would get from the streets of hong kong (aka, not very good)

Deal extreme is legit, period. I think I'll probably pick up 2 or 3 and turn them for 5 or so bucks more, try and cover the cost I had to pay to get mine sooner

after hearing all the confirmation, it makes me feel better

the site seems to good to be true! especially with there other awesome things such as a LED flashlight for 3 bucks, r4 for 30, DVI cables for 3 bucks, ipod shuffle clones for 18

Really, I was walking the streets of Beijing, China two year ago and I saw the exact same stuff at some kind of street super store. The stuff isn't TOO bad...some of it is top quality stuff, some is plain trash. The LEDs are top notch...you can't screw up LEDs really unless you put shit batteries.

Ahhh...this site is great, its like walking the streets of China again shopping like crazy without my lungs gasping for air due to air pollution and cigarette smoke.

i ordered from them...
they didn't have the wires or tri-wing, so i decided to order the tri-wing from play-asia, which was the cheapest i could find shipped and the wire, i'll just go to radio shack or some other local wire dealer...

i'll update as soon as i receive or install...

I ordered one also. Will post the progress of the shipping process when I find it out.

Having to wait up to 17 days for this to get here might kill me though lol

EDIT: Update (3/16/07)
On 3/14/2007:
Collecting - products from suppliers (step 1/4)

ya, wait time's killer.
i recently ordered some R4's for my friends from dealextreme.
ordered march 1st... shipped out march 10th!
and i got them today (march 15th).
seems like it took more time for them to collect the product than actually shipping it over here.
5 days from HK to Ontario, Canada is pretty damn good, i'd say.

  • 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
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    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
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
