    That would be me.  Not the actual maker of Stella, just the maintainer.  We're working with the author of the other PSP port, and integrating the main changes into the current code.  In fact, it's already been done, since most of what they re-implemented was already present in the current CVS code.  And I added a menu for common commands, so most of the items you mentioned in the previous message have been taken care of.

     

    The only thing left is paddle support, and the PSP maintainer says we should have that by the end of the weekend.

    i'm #5 on the first run and i haven't heard back yet...

     

    i was told that they would email us when the ship date was near,

    and i haven't heard anything for months...

     

    so does that mean they're only shipping #1 to 4 this week ? :ponder:

     

    you'd think they would've learned after the disaster with haunted adventure !

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Okay, I spoke to Jarett on the phone today.   He says that he will definitely ship the first run this week.  I really hope he does.  If he still can't seem to get it out the door, then Scott and I will talk with Al about making it available through AA.  

     

    If we do a run with AA, should we change the maps so as to differentiate the 2 releases?

     

    Cheers!

    updates ???

    Ok, I'm bumping this to see what's up. I got an email long ago, I think I was #14 or something for the first run. Has anyone heard what is up with this?  :ponder:

    Still working on it....All of the boxes are done for the first run, carts are stripped and cleaned, labels printed, manuals printed and cut, and stickers printed and cut. It's just a matter of putting everything together. Everyone here is in the middle of finals and graduation, so time has been short. We're almost there, though. I thank everyone for their patience.

     

    Best,

    Jarett

    I know this has been discussed many times,

    but I've searched in vain and can't seem to bring up any threads...

     

    Looking for games my better half and I can play together on the 2600,

    but simultaneously, not turn by turn...

     

    Any points to a list or thread would be greatly appreciated :)

     

    Cheers !

    I traded mine last year on the basis of the earlier rarity rating :?

     

    I know a few people with them here in Toronto,

    who'd trade with me but I didn't care as it wasn't as rare back then apparently...

     

    Guess I'm going to have to get one from them now that it's a 9 :D

    How do I back that up? Try 6 years of hunting down carts.  :D  

     

    These make Waterworld look like a rarity 5.  :roll:

    you get mail delivery on sundays ???

     

    Finally got my HA packs today! (#14 & #15,) Worth the wait, and beautiful! Great work.  I'm just happy they arrived the same year I paid for them (unlike some other things,) :-)

     

    I can vouch for packrat as I have ordered from them in the past without any problem.

    Last time I heard,

    my order was #23 and was (allegedly) sent out Wed Feb 2nd...

     

     

     

     

     

    datafreq, you're right.  :)  

     

    I have a bit of free time this weekend. I'll see if I can meet with Jarett this weekend. Maybe I can assist him in getting orders and e-mails sent. At least see where he's at with things.

     

    Again, sorry to hear you are still waiting.

    Hey I can totally understand it if they have been overwhelmed,

    but I was told my order would be shipping on such and such a date,

    and I even factored in the usual US/CANADA customs nonsense...

     

    When I inquired about the delay,

    it turned out that my order hadn't even shipped yet !

     

    And I had ordered just the carts, no special boxes etc...

     

    No notification...nothing.

     

    Don't get me wrong, Tony has been great ! :)

     

    But I have ordered stuff from the US after the packrat shipment,

    and that stuff has already arrived here...but still no packrat cart :?

     

    All they have to do is send out a blanket email stating something like

    " that due to overwhelming response we are backed up etc etc etc"

     

    That would at least let us customers know where we stand...

     

    Just my 2 cents...

     

     

    Does Packrat usually take this long?  I had been considering making a pretty significant order for some of their other boxed games in the future...    Tsk TSK tSK

    While I can't speak for Jarett personally, I have known him and his staff for over a year and I will say this...

     

    People, please keep in mind a few things:

     

    Like AtariAge, Packrat is not a business that is a primary source of income. Both Jarett and Albert have other employment. This is a hobby.

     

    I know Jarett has school as well.

     

    The Haunted Adventure Pak, etc. has been more successful than originally anticipated. The interest has been overwhelming. With another potential "blockbuster" game, Wolfenstein in a box, etc. on Haunted Adventure's heels, things may stay a bit behind for a while. Jarett is also finalizing things for the Wolfenstein package in order to get that game available to purchase soon, due to the overwhelming interest it has generated.

     

    I have helped Jarett on occasion, folding manuals, etc. and I can tell you that he accepts nothing but the highest quality product. He prints and builds the boxes for HA Pak one at a time. Remember, each box has a unique text message and # on the back of the box. This takes time to do. I assume Jarett is building them in order of when payment was received, hence why some completed orders have made it outside of the USA before others.

     

    It is worth the wait! 8) The boxes look excellent, as do the game labels and the carts( I got clear cases for my order ).

     

    I'm sorry to hear some of you are still waiting, but I'll vouch for Jarett and company. If he makes a promise, he keeps it! :)

     

    My above comments are not to excuse Packrat for the delays, but I wanted to offer another perspective on the issue. Perhaps Jarett will see this thread and comment. He can verify or clarify what I've written.

    Tell me about it :?

     

    I've decided that this is my last Packrat purchase.

     

    I was going to pick up Wolfenstein and a few others,

    but the service is quite unacceptable.

     

    Still waiting, and the funny thing is that each time the order is

    "delayed" (that is, if it's even shipped yet).

    wow..snapped up already...

     

     

    That Kaboom game looks wonderful!  Pity they don't have them here.

    I guess it wouldn't b very PC right now to have him throwing bombs, hence the burgers.  Kinda makes the games name seem a bit meaningless though.

     

    If anybody gets a double of Kaboom, I'd sure like to buy it off you.

     

    Shouldn't surprise anyone, but: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WD1V

     

    But it looks like US shipping only for this seller. I'm sure there will be others.

    Anybody know what the status is ?

     

    Cheers

     

    Dave

     

     

    Neo, will those of us signed up for your newsletter get info or do we just keep an eye out here @ AA ?

     

    Packrat Videogames will make the announcement about the release. It should be posted here and at Digital Press. If I did the release it would be limited to 20 copies. Due to the number of request I have handed it off to Packrat so that enough carts can be made.
