It seems like a festive time here in the USA, so we’re listing another batch of WonderSwan Flash Masta carts for sale.

We’re also listing a limited supply of WonderSwan Color consoles that we’ve refurbished and added IPS LCDs to.

We just added a bunch of WonderBeat 9480 (WonderSwan Headphone Adapters) to the site.

We added some stock of the WonderSwan Color IPS LCD Kits.

We added some stock of the Neo Geo Pocket IPS LCD Kits.

We have Neo Geo Pocket Flash Masta carts in stock. We still have some Neo Geo Pocket official games for sale.

And you can see it all at our Flash Masta Shop page.

We are going to try this a little differently this time. Last time, we announced that we would be listing WS Flash Masta carts for sale in two days. That was on a Monday. On Wednesday, maybe due to all the people checking the site, our webserver went down and many people couldn’t get the carts when we had said that they’d be available. We can’t seem to get it perfect, but we keep making carts (albeit inconsistently).

SOLD OUT

So, this time, we plan to list carts for sale at 12:00 (NOON) MDT (Mountain Daylight Time). That’s in about 2 hours from now (as I type). I’m hoping that people get the email version of this news article by the time we add the stock to the site.

I also want to announce that we are also now selling Backlit IPS LCD Kits for Wonderswan Color and Backlit IPS LCD Kits for Neo Geo Picket Color. Check those out if you want to take your retrogaming to a new level.

I guess, if we’re doing announcements, I’ll also mention that we have a couple Neo Geo Pocket Color (NGPC) games in stock, too. In fact, we now have dust covers for NGPC carts, but I just realized that I haven’t made a page for them, yet. I’ll do that now.

Actually, just click the following link, and you can see everything available in our shop.

SOLD OUT

I’m sorry to have to post a second article here. It seems that the first one didn’t get properly sent. We’re having massive web server/hosting problems right at the same time we planned to post our news about the new batch.

WS Flash Masta is here: https://www.flashmasta.com/product/ws-flash-masta-usb-cartridge-for-wonderswan/

I hope this post gets properly sent, and I apologize for any problems or double notifications.

This is just a quick post to give you a heads-up. We plan (if everything goes well) to list a new batch of WS Flash Masta cartridges for sale on Thursday February 18th (probably in the morning, US Mountain time zone).

As you may know, these often sell out very quickly. If you’ve been waiting for one, here’s your fair warning.  We plan to try to get to the point of keeping these in stock instead of producing a batch, selling out, repeat.  It has been difficult to get to that point, though.  For example, this time around, it took over 2 months to receive the circuit boards, as they were slow to produce and then got stuck in FedEx shipping/customs limbo for weeks.

I will be out of town for a funeral on Tuesday.  On Wednesday, we plan to get these all finalized.  On Thursday, we hope to start selling and shipping them.  If you don’t see them posted on Thursday morning, watch on Friday morning.  If we really have a big problem by then, we’ll probably post news on Friday.

These will feature a new 3D-printed shell for the WS Flash Masta.  We’ve been working closely with a guy called Hipcat on these, shells and I think they’ve turned out quite nice!  He is also working with us to produce 3D-printed shells for the Neo Pocket Flash Masta.  If you already own a WS or NGP Flash Masta, and you want a new shell for it, head over to our shop.  NOTE that the 3D printed shell for the WS Flash Masta will NOT work for the older fat circuit board that was designed to work without a shell.

Also, please note that it seems like international shipping has been slower than usual lately. COVID definitely had a big effect on the shipping speeds, but I thought that things were getting better leading up to Christmas. It was no surprise that shipping around Christmas was congested, but I would have expected it to get back to normal by now. That does not seem to be the case. If you are ordering from outside of the USA, please expect delays between the package leaving the US and it entering your country. It seems that the customs process is the main bottleneck here, but this is only speculation.

This is really very last-minute.  We didn’t plan on listing WS Flash Masta carts today, but, all of a sudden, we decided to do a little Cyber Monday surprise.  Instead of waiting for more parts to arrive to complete a full batch, we’re listing what we have ready, now, today.

HAPPY CYBER MONDAY!

SOLD OUT Buy Now (Limited Supply) WS Flash Masta Cartridges

I know this isn’t some crazy discount. It’s the same price as we’ve been selling them for previously. We just thought that listing a half-batch of WS flash carts would make the day a bit more exciting.

If you are looking for an added bonus, we can say this. By the time these ship to their new homes, we expect (but can’t yet promise) there to be a 3D-Printable shell available. I’ll add some screenshots of that work-in-progress. Since this post is super last-minute, I’m not even sure if I’m supposed to be publicizing this tidbit of info, yet. If this paragraph and the photos disappear, now you know why, but the point is that you could (in theory) get the PCB-only option for the WS Flash Masta and print your own shell.
