Hi everyone! Do you know if is it yet possible to buy a nesmaker kit from Infinite Nes Lives website?
With the new version of the official website there's no link to buy the hardware.
Someone bought the hardware from another reseller? Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Infinite NES Lives (INL) are the one (guy) manufacturing and selling the flasher that is used with NESmaker. The NESmaker kit is often sould out, on the site. But I think it's still possible to orde it (adding it in your cart and buy it). But recently, caused by the covid situation and the shortage on chips, the delays are veryyy long.

There is no other know reseller. You can find sometimes on eBay (flasher/dumper INL). The INL multi carts flasher is compatible with nesmaker too.

Hi Dale, thanks for your reply. I know infinite nes lives is the only reseller for dumper/empty cartridge. Unfortunately when I add the order in the shipping cart, is showed a message that say the product is not available and I'm not able to proceed (maybe it depends on country, I'm italian). It's a mess, hope this will be solved. I'm trying also to find information with a Everdrive N8 but I'm not sure it supports the Mapper 30 (consider also the cost of a single N8 is high).
Thanks again!

@abenjack I know it's difficult. The covid situation caused a chip shortage situation... everything will come back in order slowly in the few days, weeks, months... no choice but to wait. The flasher will come back on stock. I am sorry.
(I am from France. I know well how difficult it's painful).

The Everdrive N8 supports mapper30 roms (if updated to one of the most recent firmwares). But I agree, it's very expensive.

No idea.
Joe posted something about that on the FB group recently (a few days ago). Saying he will try to have flashers for sale directly from the nesmaker website, because he knows it's difficult to get one directly from ILN.
But no more news yet.
