I'm also active at [N64brew](https://discord.gg/WqFgNWf) Discord server as `korgeaux` but keep in mind that [*Discussions*](https://github.com/Polprzewodnikowy/SummerCart64/discussions) tab is a preferred option.
Note that my time is limited so I can't answer all questions.

## How do I get one?
One option is to ask in `#summer-cart-64` channel on [N64brew](https://discord.gg/WqFgNWf) Discord server if someone is making a group order.
Most up to date information about purchasing/manufacturing options is available on https://summercart64.dev website!
If you want to order it yourself then I've prepared all necessary manufacturing files on the [PCBWay Shared Project](https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/SC64_an_open_source_Nintendo_64_flashcart_14b9688a.html) site.
**Full disclosure**: for every order made through [this link](https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/SC64_an_open_source_Nintendo_64_flashcart_14b9688a.html) I will receive 10% of PCB manufacturing and PCB assembly service cost (price of the components is not included in the split). This is a great way of supporting further project development.
**Be careful**: this is an advanced project and it is assumed that you have enough knowledge about electronics.
Selecting wrong options or giving PCB manufacturer wrong information might result in an undesired time and/or money loss.
Boards also come unprogrammed from the manufacturer - you need to do **initial programming step** yourself after receiving the board.
**Price of the components is not included in the initial quote at the checkout** - manufacturer will contact you later with updated price.
To avoid problems _**please**_ read **both** [build guide](./docs/06_build_guide.md) and description on the shared project page **in full**.
If you have even slightest doubt about the ordering or programming process, it is better to leave it to someone experienced - ask in the Discord server mentioned above if that's the case.
