I received mine today. The excitement quickly went away when I noticed the cartridge was damaged. No way could I attempt plugging it in. A follow up email was sent. Already receive a response Now it’s waiting time again 🀬

I received mine yesterday. There were six layers of proper, protective, wrapping around it, so I fear you must have been very unlucky with your cartridge. I hope your replacement comes through quickly!

Received mine this week also, and it came with some serious protective packaging! Cartridge looks and runs great.

Mine arrived earlier this week, and it was packed well enough to be thrown off a 5 story building and survive the trip. Man, this cartridge is loaded for bear with all sorts of fun software. I like the new RAM config options too

Edit: I should proof-read better in the future. I didn't mean to imply that my cartridge was shoddily packed.

8 bit show and tell has a good look at the games on this, he says there will be a part 2 to look at the utilities and other features.

I saw the 8-Bit Show and Tell video on YT last night and despite already owning a Mega-Cart, I'm tempted. The random game selector is an awesome feature and it's already drawn my attention to some games that had gone under the radar 8) .

The cartridge doesn't have an internal buffered clock, correct?

That's right, no clock or battery.

Gorf is contained in the cartridge section of PU+2. No need to install RAM of whatever size and soft-load the game from SD2IEC. The menu software of PU+2 should take care of this.
