Real Lifetime Warranty

I personally designed the hardware, wrote the software and assembled your cartridge myself.

This level of familiarity with the design means I can offer you a level of support few other vendors in any business can match.

If your Ultimate SD Cartridge ever fails, for any reason other than clear abuse/misuse, I will repair or replace it at no charge.

I don't just offer a warranty to get your purchase, I actually honor it. As many enthusiasts in the video game community will attest, I routinely offer support and warranty service for items I sold as long as 5+ years ago.
