Tried one out at the Console Combat and Retro Reunited event. They are very good quality and easy to use. Very small board with ROM, MMC card adapter and SD card. Easy to use, you just put all your beeb games onto one SD card and load. Anyone else seen these? Should have mine next week  |

Well worth buying
Slap all your games onto an SD card and get playing! Chuckie Egg anyone?

Mine should also be here some time next week.
The BBC version of Chuckie Egg is by far the best I think.

I've got mine too! No games on the included card though (I think - just one file on there with an extention I'm not familiar with.) Have no time to test at the moment as decorating the house before the Mother-in-Law comes over for Christmas!

I hooked mine up and played on it. The CD had a disk image with hundreds of games on. I managed to play 2 games before it packed up!
I have contacted the seller who is sending me another EPROM as mine is no longer working.
What could make an EPROM fail like that?

Maybe the eprom was faulty or wasn't complete? Could be a number of things really, the important thing is that he'll replace it for you.
I picked mine up from someone else which included the adapter, chip and a memory card with every bbc game ever released. I had to remove
the DFS chip and pop in the new chip to use the mmc adapter. Did you remove any chips or just popped it into an empty slot?

Just an EPROM that went into an empty slot. I did have to check if my BBC had a certain chip (which I cant remember now) - which it did. All worked fine for the first 10 minutes then the EPROM stop booting  |
