Just out of curiosity... Ok slim can get an LCD screen. How does going back and forth and into the folders work with just one button?
I'd love to see a working video explaining. |

Personally if I was going to spend more than £15 on a emu drive I would just go for the higher models of the HxC so can have display and multiple buttons. If I wanted to save money I would go for Gotek. I just find the HxC slim completely pointless as it costs 3 times as much as Gotek and has no display and only one button so what exactly are you getting for your extra money? |

The usage is then exactly the same as all others HxC floppy emulators. |

The HxC is still a far far superior solution imo, compatibility is close to flawless - the same can't be said of the gotek

What compatibility issues have you noticed with Gotek? I'm considering getting a HxC for the 3 button/display/card option in next couple of month. Not noticed any issues with Gotek so far though? |

* Better quality software * Better native interface with LCD support (even the slim supports lcd and 3 buttons as others have mentioned) * flashing the HxC's doesn't require praying to your deity of choice and performing voodoo rituals * HxC PCD versions are designed to mount using the standard drive mounting holes, this means you only need a couple of pub stand-offs to raise it up to the right height to easily access the SD card slot I've seen a few mentions here and there of compatibility issues with the gotek but can't recall them off the top of my head. The reality is that the gotek is a really neat hack but the HxC is a fully engineered solution. |

Yeah the gotek firmware etc is a hobby project, the HxC is "more" professional and better supported.
I've certainly had a minor issue fixed by the team and was very happy with their support. |
