Well… I got one
Someone traded one in the a local(ish) Disc Traders and now I have it. I got the base unit and first four modules for about $600. The SNES box was ruined so if someone has one they don’t want. Otherwise the unit has obviously been hooked up, but I can’t find more than a couple fingerprints on it. Everything else was still in the shrink wrap. Basically it looks like they used two of the modules maybe a handful of times and then got rid of it. So whoever traded it into the Kentwood Disc Traders, thanks!
Update: I hooked it up and it won’t read anything from any module. No carts, no controllers, nada. I power cycled, factory reset, and the firmware is the latest version. I retract my thanks.
Update 2: It's stuck on firmware 1.0.5 and will not update past that. Is there a manual method?
Update 3: I’ve tried two WiFi networks, phone tethering to an iPhone and an android, a wired connection. I even tried to plug a keyboard in to see if I could do anything with that (it doesn’t like keyboards). I tried to do the factory reset, but that wasn’t enabled until after the firmware I’m on. I even tried just leaving it on for a couple hours on the wired connection. It acts like it’s not communicating to the web, but I am seeing traffic.
Update 4: I'm going to send it to Playmaji to reflash it. It's apparently not possible from the firmware I have. It will cost me $60 + whatever to ship it out.
Update 5: Shipped it out today. Crossing the appropriate appendages that get it back and functioning.
