GlowingGhoul Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Seems Jookie shut down the store because of some business fee issue. Does anyone know if when these will become available again? Maybe Lotharek can make them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Jookie, will not be making them soon.. a couple of years maybe. Because of the business fees.. Maybe he could lease it out? or sell it off? no idea.. but at the moment he seems to be on a break from the Atari scene. Have not seem him around for months. I have many unanswered emails.

atarian1 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Isn't CosmosEx open-source? It looks like the sources are on GitHub. However, I don't know anything about programming so the files are all an empty cloud to me. All it takes for a new batch is for someone to take the sources and figure out what to do with them...

TXG/MNX Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Yes maybe exxos can build them. Or lotharek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustynutt Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Was late to the game when Jookie's products came out. Didn't really follow all what they offered, having a Falcon didn't think much of it. Now I'm looking how to connect a P/S 2 or USB keyboard to the Falcons Sold my DEKA last year, but those type keyboards are hard to find in good condition now. zp_manchester on ebay has a nice setup, looks like they sold out pretty fast. Today sent a mail if they would soon be available, I could use 8 units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO, the Cosmosex hardware is not open source. It is owned by Jookie. It was designed by him, it is his. The software? Well I cannot comment on opensource licences persay.. but if you found some of the stuff on GIT Hub then it should say. But the software was contributed to for sure, there were several involved. THE CE_ software that comes with it, are specific to that hardware. So unless Jookie makes some kind of deal (exxos has asked) or Lotharek, who did take over the Satan FFD emulator, so maybe he will go with Lotharek for it. The offical thread for COSMOSEX is on atari-forum.com and on exxos own forum you can see a thread about his interest in it. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Considering the Satandisk and UltraSatan are open source, I am a bit surprised by this news. He has said before that he would rather spend his time designing things rather than manufacturing/testing/selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Considering the Satandisk and UltraSatan are open source, I am a bit surprised by this news. He has said before that he would rather spend his time designing things rather than manufacturing/testing/selling them. atarian1, I am not an expert, but Satandisk and UltraSatan were at one time Jookie products, as far as I am aware he designed them. Open source means - "denoting software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified." Firmware was made for them, and as I said in the other post Jookie usually has people collaborate with him on the software/firmware .. but open source means something else entirely. There are many projects where the designer releases the designs, the files, etc..etc.. I have never seen Jookie release anything to the public. The only one who can manufacture UltraSatan right now is Lotharek, and I assume he is doing it under a licence from Jookie. If you know a site that has plans and files so we can build and modify Satandisk and UltraSatan, please share, I have never seen these. But again, I'm no expert on these things.. I'd ask Jookie, but he is on break from this stuff and not doing email.. and I emailed Lotharek a week ago about something else and he has not gotten back to me either.. sigh...

krupkaj Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 There are documents for both SatanDisk and UltraSatan available on the jookie's website. You can download all schematics and PCBs in Eagle format and firmware from here: SatanDisk: http://joo.kie.sk/?page_id=86 UltraSatan: http://joo.kie.sk/?page_id=255 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 There ya go! .. I was not aware he had released all that. That being said, dont think I will be DIYing an ultrasatan when I can buy it from Lotharek for a reasonable amount. There is a new european company on facebook making ST items.. maybe he will pick up Ultrasatan, or look into cosmos and start making it. Centurion Computers I think. You will see them in the ST groups on Facebook. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really glad I found JayMSA.. James Edited November 17, 2017 by Bikerbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaddog Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Well that sucks! I had plans to restore my STe and put in a CosmosEx to "modernize" it and even run BeePi on it as well, but that's not going to happen in the future. Well back to emulation just like 20 years ago...

Sowden Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Are the official updates to the firmware going to stop? Other than the fact that I'm worried about Jookie, that thought is in the back of my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StEeLz Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Everyone! CosmosEx is back!!! After Jookie's issues, the project has been passed over to Atari.sk to handle! If you follow the "Buy CosmosEx" link from Jookie's CosmosEx page: http://joo.kie.sk/?page_id=384 it will redirect you to Atari.Sk's page where they are discussing the CosmosEx 3 project. Seems to involve some upgrade, pending the first 100 people to reserve theirs, we are at 39 at the time I'm writing this! Thought I would share with the community! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
