Hello! Agreed, the cartridge design is neat, but i still see two problems: 1) Standard Jaguar titles use the 93c46 serial Eeprom with 128 bytes for saving data, the 93c56 are 256 bytes and as far as i know the serial commands for accessing the chips are different in length. 2) All those "Meg"s used in the auction description are Megabits, the 27c800 stores just 1 Megabyte, with 2 of these you can just store 2 Megabyte on this cartridge, and it's not made clear if you can use the 27c160 Eprom on this PCB (to gain 4MegaByte). Kind regards Matthias

Hello all, back to the topic of levels that are created by you, the users of Impulse X: Neither were level sets offered to me nor did i see a discussion about exchanging the level sets here or elsewhere, so i am wondering if more support for this needs to be offered? Kind regards Matthias

Hello Paul! The vendors decide on the demand that they see or expect if they want to list (my) games, for smaller numbers the shipping costs might ruin the discounts they get. But you can always ask me directly Kind regards Matthias

Hello! I worked on that TOSonJag-project about 15 years ago, at that time my knowledge of programming the RISC-processors as well as my knowledge about balancing all the Jaguar's processors was very very limited, so i had asked a friend to code a GPU-subroutine doing said bitplane conversion. Seems something went wrong. Best regards Matthias

Hello! Yes, all the four things for that second puzzle are accessible directly from the beginning of the game. Have you seen meanwhile what is at the back of the door in the centre? If you go there, you'll see what you are missing. Kind regards Matthias

Hello! I have given a link to a ZIP with my walktrhough in the main Philia-thread, although the descriptions are in german language it still might be of use for you: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/223573-philia-sequel-to-elansar-jagcd/page-8?do=findComment&comment=3034848 You are talking about two different puzzles: 1) Just click on the wooden plate below the ring and you will be presented a board where you can give the answers by marking the letters on the board. 2) For solving the second puzzle you'll need to pick up a third item and to manipulate another item.. Bye! Matthias

Hello, i have described my solution to this game with about 160 screenshots and in german language here: http://www.mdgames.de/philiawalkthrough.zip Perhaps it is useful for some of you, even if you can't understand german. Kind regards Matthias

Hello, Impulse X was released on CD on November 24, 2012 and Impulse X was released on cartridge on November 23, 2013. Kind regards Matthias

Hello Orion_, congratulations on this release! I just placed my order. Matthias

Hi! Thanks a lot! Matthias

Hello Orion_ ! Just want to congratulate you, it was amazing to see how you mastered all the hurdles of this big project! Like integrating the Cinepak player, this is something that i tried hard, but always had bad luck with (the sound usually got out of sync with the picture). All the best! Matthias

Hello, i am glad that you still like playing Impulse X As far as i know you can still get the Impulse X on cartridge from Nick Harlow (UnitedKingdom), only the US-vendor(s) are sold out. Kind regards Matthias

Hello, i just checked it yesterday, i don't have anything more recent than the "June 12th 1995" dev kit package. Kind regards Matthias PS: I agree with Zerosquare's view of the documentation topic

Hello! Look here for an overview of my products: http://www.mdgames.de/mdgamesproducts_eng.html As you can see there, go with the CD if you have a reliable CD-player and a MemoryTrack with enough free space. Kind regards Matthias

Hello Paul! If you want to buy within the USA, you can get the CD-version of Impulse x still from GoodDealgames . Yes. Kind regards Matthias

Hello! The playfield grid 18 rows by 20 columns, a cell can be either empty or filled with one of 40 bricks, and there are 40 different backgrounds available, but PowerUps don't count here, as they aren't visible Here are some of omf's playfield designs: Bye! Matthias

Hello all! If you own the CD-version of Impulse X and a MemoryTrack (and some cables, a Windows-PC,..) you can now read up some info on how to make backups of your "Selfcreated Levels" and how to restore them on your MemoryTrack: http://www.mdgames.de/impulsexselfcreatedlevels_eng.html. So you can also start to exchange your level set MT-files with other Impulse X users now Kind regards Matthias

Hello all! Although the game doesn't require it, some of you expressed their wish of having a joypad overlay for Impulse X, so i am now providing a link for downloading such graphics at the end of my Impulse X webpage. Merry christmas! Matthias

Hello all! I do have reserved one copy of the Impulse X cartridge reserved for all those people who got a place on my Excel list confirmed, i am just very slow in getting in contact with you to manage the purchase, sorry for this. To those of you who are on the list and haven't heard from me yet: Please let me know if you are still interested to buy the cartridge from me, or if you prefer to buy (or already have bought) from a vendor because i can then free your reserved copy, thanks! Kind regards Matthias

Hello! Both games included in the cartridge (Impulse X and DF#1) offer the 8bit-BJL-receiver, but only in their option menus, so this might not be very convenient for developers. Kind regards Matthias

Hello! There should be no problems when running Impulse X with a NTSC setup, i had 2 people from USA (NTSC area) in my team to avoid any issues. But because NTSC offers less videoscanlines compared with PAL, some Impulse X screens might appear a bit vertically stretched. Kind regards Matthias

Hello all, the cartridge version of Impulse X was officially released yesterday during Euro-Jagfest 2013 (in Duisburg, Germany). Unfortunately preparing my attendance of the Euro-Jagfest didn't allow me to answer all incoming emails and PMs concerning a purchase of this cartridge release. I am sorry for this and will try to reply to your requests ASAP. Thanks for your patience! Kind regards Matthias

Hello! After Impulse X was released on November 24, 2012 during Euro-Jagfest 2012 on CD, it was released on cartridge on November 23, 2013 during Euro-Jagfest 2013. Also included on this new Impulse X cartridge is my older game Double Feature #1, it was only available on CD before. Best regards Matthias

Hello! @OBO, Mark T, Clay and all others: It's no problem that you can't pick up your cartridge during Euro-Jagfest, but please let me know your postal address and if you want to pay using PayPal or bank transfer (if you are living within EU). Thanks! Matthias

Hello! To those who stated their interest in getting a cartridge of Impulse X: Please tell me if you want to pick up the cartridge during Euro-Jagfest in Duisburg on next saturday, so i know how many copies i need to bring along. Thanks in advance! Matthias
