Happy New Years. I ordered my UltimatePro Kit and excited about receiving it. I see you plan to sell a Wireless Mouse 8BitDo N30. I'm curious if it could work with Mister as mouse & controller at the same time so it could be both a light gun & controller at the same time. It would be really cool if the touch pad scroll area could be remapped to start and select for some classic duck hunt.

I ordered mine on January 6th and I am very excited. Ordered several 8BitDo bluetooth controllers (SN30 pro and M30) and a NeoGeo X arcade stick. It's good to see so many happy people that it's worth waiting for my order to be shipped.

CTT (the Portuguese Post) doesn't particularly help :mrgreen:, but indeed you Ricardo, you're doing your best!

Is there a way to get an estimate? And when it's being shipped I get a tracking code? I am so hyped after see so many awesome videos about the various cores.

This week I will have all orders shipped and stock updated for next orders. You should get a tracking number by email as soon got dispatched.

What’s the situation with shipping to the UK regarding Tax/VAT.

I see VAT is paid at checkout, does that mean if I ordered I wouldn’t be charged VAT on arrival in the UK? Or should the VAT not be paid at checkout for the UK anymore?

Got my tracking code :) Anyone can tell what the average time is in between getting the tracking code and actually receiving the package (within the EU)?

Only today I've mustered the courage to dismantle my whole setup to bits, just to install an RTC board I got from Ricardo weeks ago.

Success! It works flawlessly (even with a cheap no-name battery I put inside :? )

Well, that depends really... I've had my main MiSTer setup delivered in no time back in November, while the RTC order above took a looong detour through an unrelated country, before arriving a month+ later (although that was over the Christmas period along with Covid related delays)

I am checking my code since yesterday, no movement status still says "Item accepted". Tracking a shipment is always the "fun" part haha. I have a Portuguese co-worker and told me that it sometimes can take a while.

I think logistics are beginning to smooth inside the EU, despite the all-around menace of Covid :)

I think there is something wrong with logistics inside the EU at the moment. I ordered one Mister setup just before Christmas and it arrived before new year so it was really fast. I love Mister and wanted get another setup to be used in another place. So I did another order. It was shipped 9 days ago, but nothing has happened in tracking after the parcel left Portugal. I just hope it's not lost.

All slow but nothing lost (just happen once in years). I was also a bit late with orders from holidays, probably was dispatched not so fast as first.

Let's hope so. :) The tracking shows that international dispatch happened on Wednesday, 20 January 2021. Maybe some stuff which is normally handled as an air freight is now transported by tucks because of new travel restrictions in different EU countries.

I ship a lot of stuff world wide and it seems like since last March a lot of stuff is being released by customs in batches. Packages will sit in customs for 2-3 weeks and then all move at once.

After your tracker indicates that a shipment has left the country of origin, you should switch to your local service for monitoring. Ricardo dispatches orders with CTT which is the national post/carrier of Portugal, so that generally means shipments will be handled by the respective national carrier in the destination country (e.g. Deutsche Post in Germany, Royal Mail in the UK, La Poste in France etc.)

An alternative is to use an "aggregator" tracking site, such as 17track.net (especially if you're expecting stuff from outside the EU).

I got mine today, will order the 4A PSU, I actually wonder in several videos I saw that the USB hub had a separate socket for power, is this with this one internal?

You have to use a splitter such as this, no matter the juice of the power supply.

Portugal right now seems to be in dire straits with the pandemic, so we should keep that in mind re: delays from Ricardo.

I see so usage of it as there is like I said no second power connector. Just 1 5V DC and below that I see 2 "Pwr Only" USB connectors

You don't have to use external cables / splitters in any MiSTer we sell. We do the split internally. One power plug rule them all :twisted:

huh, that must be new :? . In any case those usb ports are both power out I think. Still, you'd need a splitter between the barrel 5VDC-in and the usb port, in case one of the two is for power in (this doesn't make sense really; but I have a BlisSTer board so don't take my advice for granted)

Ahh ok, that's a new development then 😳

The 2 Power Only ports can be used to power Speakers, external HDD and others.

That is done internally, we don't use external cables. We have done it pretty simple :idea:

We have been using this method for almost 2 years. That's why we don't sell those cables for 2 years or more.

In some cases yes.
But with postnord here in sweden they will change the tracking number 9 times of 10 when they put it in their system, meaning no one (the seller/the buyer/postnord/the other postalservice) will know anything.
Until postnord sends you a text or a letter saying you can come get it OR pay taxes on it if it's from outside the EU.

The few times they do not change the tracking id everyone can see what is happening and it often take about a week for any text/letter to show up.

I have ordered stuff many times from various countries (UK, USA, Japan, China, France, Germany etc...) so I know how things work with tracking. Here in Finland the original tracking code is not usually changed by our local post office and tracking system is very reliable, I think. In this case the shipment just seems to be somewhere between the Portugal and Finland because last tracking info is dispatch from Portugal and Finland Post office tracking shows nothing. But I'm not too worried yet. I hope there will happen something during next week. :?

Ricardo sent the package on time, so this is not aimed at him. :)

Dear Ricardo,

When :shock: ??

...and like somebody asked in that thread; will it be usable with the PC as well? I've been scouring the internets for a ready-made one such as this since I got Tempest4000. I managed to locate something similar in Japan a long time ago for top dollar, so I didn't buy it. Following releases by Jeff Minter (which are an experience *not-to-be-missed* especially in VR), made me forget about it for a while :mrgreen:

[Edit] Also, can it accept alternative flyweights and knobs such as these?

@lamarax

Yes it's also compatible with MAME and Retroarch. Our Spinners have premium factory quality and are not cheap but work perfectly. New products will come based on this type of production.

When... I already have 160 unit reserved. We will open backorders of this soon.
Actually I already have almost all product in backorder due the high demand, with 1 week to ship. Have stock of all, 200 boards of all items produced, but need time to check, prepare and ship.

Keep Safe,
Enjoy MiSTer
