So at long last we are through the vast majority of orders. We are down to the last 10 or so orders. Should get most of them taken care of tomorrow and resolve some of the issues we have run into. Here is a picture of the pallet the packages came on.

Quick update. Castlemania shells are on the way. I forgot to take a picture so have one of the space the pallets used to be. Today packed 70 orders at that rate I should be caught up sometime Monday.

Alright quick update. Working through Gamecube orders have some with tracking which will get dropped off Saturday. So normally I would insist on shipping out orders from oldest to newest, but the way the factory packed them they didn't include the order numbers on them. (1/3)

At long last finally delivered. Was not expecting them to drop them on the street so spent the last 2 hours dragging them all in side (thank goodness I have a dolly). (1/2)

First thing is that production has been completed. All plastic parts are made and they are being packaged up right now. The factory was kind enough to share some photos with us. (2/5)

We have a long awaited Gamecube update. I hate to send these so close to the predicted day but many things have become more clear even in the last few days. (1/5)

For shipping we are still working with the factory in the hopes of not having to wait for an ocean shipment. Much of this will depend on how the tariff situation evolves after production completes. It hasn't been easy to predict what the environment will be. (3/4)

Color samples took quite a while. Lunar new year landed in the middle of the process and we had some back and forth with the factory who should pay for said samples, but they are finally finished and looking pretty good. I've scattered pictures through out this thread. (2/4)

Gamecube update time.
TLDR. Colors are done. Figuring out shipping and tariffs. End of March if the factory fulfills orders. End of April if using an ocean shipment. Read on for more details. (1/4)

Since so many people were interested I took some quick pictures of my dip desoldering tool or 'DeDipper'. It's pretty jank right now but I'll make a short video showing it.

Off to a great start with harvesting chips. I designed a special tool to heat all the joints at once and I'm pretty happy at how well it's working. I'll have to show it off soon.

We also received color samples. There is one big issue with them though, most of these samples should be translucent. Although funny enough I like a lot of these colors. (3/6)

Quick preview of the NES Hub Disk Adapter. This one doesn't work because of some pinout confusion. I have a new board just need to time to throw it together and test.

So catching up on things. The last version of Opentendo we ordered had a small issue we missed from moving it from Kicad 5 to Kicad 8. The clock schematic symbol changed so it was no longer actually connected. So when the pcb was updated it ended up not connected. Whoops.

I've been pretty blown away by how well my first video has done. Was definitely unexpected. 😅

Worked on a whole bunch of extended converters and finally have them in stock. Even did some different colors up to try and use up some extra shells I have. You can grab them here.
