And you could ask about the facebook comment he made: It'd be interesting to know when the focus switched to this direction, the reasoning behind it (financial? instant titles with big names?) and what measures did they put in place to garner opinion on that rather important change of emphasis.

Maybe it's academic at this point, but I'd like to know details of the FPGA should they meet the $1.95m target and not the $3.8m one - a rough spec and an idea of which consoles (if any) a successful lower-tiered campaign would support. While I'm here, there's a short interview with Kevtris regarding RVGS, not sure it was posted: http://nintendolegend.com/2015/09/interview-kevin-kevtris-horton-on-the-retro-vgs/Probably nothing new, have only skimmed over.

I'm not sure that I didn't edit the level designs (well, possibilities for each stage that are randomly chosen), so me using df+ was probably not fair. I'll play again with the regular game.

That kind of grind is not uncommon ARAIK, both the units I use have done that at times. Switch off and on and it rectifies. I'm sure people here like oval or omf know what this is.

Picked up Alien Isolation, Farming Simulol 15, Sleeping Dogs, The Crew, Saints Row, Shadow of Mordor, Terraria and RE2 Revelations earlier today between two ASDA stores. Games I skipped or already have off the top of my head: Destiny, Metro redux, Trials Fusion, Transformers, Spider-Man, Diablo RoS, Far Cry 4... there were plenty more, in a rash and mind drawing a blank.

oh noes downfall, I flashed it and had time for one game, will deffo find time to play it again. What was the best score last time? I've heard SCPCD got some crazy scores while sat waiting for his FGPA Jaguar stuff to build EDIT: lol, I beat jblenkle by 5, sorry!

Sorry, I'm not massively up on these things these days. That might well be the better option for the non-collector.

You should make a thread, I clicked this one looking for Jaguar CD repair and thought I'd clicked the wrong one as it's all Doom talk and pictures.

If you're a collector who simply has to catch 'em all, then there's no question, you'll buy a Jaguar CD, something like a skunkboard isn't going to be all that well suited. If you're into things that are going on now with the Jaguar, both offer advantages and disadvantages. Skunkboard let's you try a lot of games out, but JagCD lets you buy and collect some as well as burning your own. With skunkboards difficult to obtain right now, if Jaguar is the main thing you're in to, a Jaguar CD for around $200 isn't a bad idea as you'll always get the bulk of that back if you get bored with it (or maybe more the way things seem to be going). Personally I like to see more people using Jaguars to do more things, especially more than just shelving as trophies and boxes ticked. The last few years have been busy days for new developments and the more people able to experience them, along with whatever old beta / unfinished / unreleased stuff they can uncover, the better. So what you're saying is you require photographic evidence, amirite?

Thanks for taking a look. Have left it alone since then, hoping for a flash of inspiration as to where to take it, but I started yet another "thing" and all thoughts have been less boingy and more side-scrolly. Done with that now though, it was a bit crappy :0) The boings will stay, they have to!

I wanted to see what the opinion was further afield, so earlier I read through this thread on Sega-16. It starts off pretty cynical, then ChaseTheChuckwagon pops in and posts the same message as (this thread?) on AA re: FGPA info, and that turned things around instantly. People seemed more positive. Then the thread dies off and the more recent stuff points out the abandonment of where it was once pitched etc. How did they not see this happening? It happened here, it happened there, it happened on what I think is probably the biggest and most infamous gaming forum, GAF. Even that website vanished right around the indiegogo started. I didn't check Reddit, anyone follow anything there? Maybe those utterly meaningless facebook [LIKE]s and their predictable throw-away comments of support offset the forum chatter for the RVGS team? Facebook is the last place I'd rely on for any comments turning into something meaningful - it thrives on people throwing their support behind worthy causes with the quickly fired-off comments, their outrage when needed and their clicks to prove just how much they care. But it's all flaky as fuck. That's all it ever amounts to, clicks and guff. Must have been an eye opener.

Pretty soon there's going to be more people in this thread than there are back... no... nope... let's just say this is a popular thread.

Now venn, now venn... Green is around where they originally pitched it and picked up all the facebook followers. "A big shout out to the 15,000+ fb followers, many of whom have been following us from the beginning". Those guys. EDIT: Unless, as was pointed out to me, they bought them from India... lol. Blue is where it appears they think they're going to earn $s and spy an easy opportunity for completed software/well known IP with "pixels". Red is the reason for the facebook backlash prior to their campaign going live. It's not $150-$180.00. The overlaps are pretty fair I think - classic gamer types are not generally the same guys playing faux retro indie games; neither are known to throw their money around needlessly bar a few of the more "serious" collectors as they compete with each other for the rarest of the rare. As stated, Green is the bulk of their following, on fb and elsewhere, that should be their bread and butter. I don't recall many of these guys ever putting a desire to play pseudo retro from pseudo cart on a pseudo console top of any lists. That tiny white bit in the middle where they'll get their pledges, away from friends and good will... all 158 of them so far (186 less 26 @ $10 and $25 levels). If the price was lower, that red section is smaller. If there was some kind of benefit to playing indies on a dedicated offline console box, that blue section is smaller. And if there was a genuine effort to seek out and push for re-released previous titles, follow-ups to existing titles and some real convincing numbers for homebrewers to broaden their audience, the green section is smaller. All of those work towards something more like that smaller diagram with acres of white. But that's probably more "research" and effort on my behalf putting that crap together than whatever this amounted to (from their campaign):

With it being the only thing that doesn't load, you could at least try cloning the CD using some media that you know usually work OK. Use Disc Juggler with the same settings as usual. Your PC's drive might have no trouble reading the disc and help you produce a working copy. Then just stick RR in a clear double disc case and just play form the copy. Might sound weird, but I had to do this with my copy of Suikoden II on PlayStation (using a blue dev unit to play from) - none of my PlayStations would load the game after a certain point in the story, but my PC had no such issues.

Can someone give a rough idea of what the "plugins" might entail? I'm not familiar with Game Maker or Unity and have less idea still how much effort/cost these might require. It isn't mentioned in the campaign AFAICT. Outsourcing software development 5% of min. goal, I suppose that's where this is covered? Indigogo takes 5%, so total revenue at initial target is $1,950,000.00 less $97,500.00 IGG fee = $1,852,500.00 EDIT: Then there is payment processing: Going to use a guestimate of 4% for this, giving $74,100.00 payment processing fees, leaving $1,778,400.00 5% of that for the outsourced software is $88,920.00 This $88,920.00 would cover the cost of producing the RVGS FPGA core, further cores at the initial target (unclear in campaign), development suite for game producers, system-level software and these "plugins"? Anyone in a position to comment on those figures? Do the percentages for software, protos, compliance testing/certification and office rental all being similar portions seem realistic?

Another day 1 game I attempted to like and just really could not be arsed with. I like RPGs of all flavours, but even for me this was just tedious and boring - buying the previous game day 1 should have been warning enough to stay away until bargain bin time. The Witcher 3 restored my faith and ate dozens of hours of my time.

So who are the two sat in the vehicle filming it, talking about GTFO and Is he dead or what? Is this what they call bystander apathy? And who winds down the window to get a better look at the fumes? lolol, too many parallels!

Oh an actual "Jagware Team" badge, I assumed the one form the Jag-Ware catalogue.
