  2. I was (still am) an Atari-Head. I had a Lynx and my younger brother had the Game Gear. He got it because he was familiar with Sega having owned a master system, and he just had to be different from his older bro. What put me off the GG was the fact that you could play MS games with an adapter. My brain told me that logically the GG must therefore be just a portable MS. There wasn't an Atari console equivalent to the Lynx but I was a massive ST gamer. Of course I didn't know until many years later the Lynx hadn't actually been designed by Atari (and the dev kit was Amiga based ).
  3. Well, I wish you the best of luck, and I'll be following your progress as I'm sure everyone here will be.
  4. So it's a a non-standard pitch on the edge connector? Maybe an already broken and uneconomically repairable lynx might be an option to use as a donor if it's not possible to easily make one.
  5. Hey, just a comment about your fab process. I am wondering if you want to bother soldering the EPROMs yourself. If you are having the boards fabricated, for the sake of time and cost, maybe you can also get the fab house to solder on a blank EPROM, which means you won't be limited to what SMD technique you can do yourself (plcc, tqp etc), ...maybe you can order a BGA or similar which would make for a low profile cart? Then, to program it yourself (even though the fab company could also do this) you just need to make a female cart slot to EPROM programmer adapter board, and just run the completed carts through one by one to program them, then ship. I prototype a lot of stuff myself, and I think this is something I would investigate, worthwhile to do a time vs cost study etc. More time for software development
  6. Maybe not common, or people just do not notice, but there are other reports on the net of this issue.
  7. Road Rash alone is worth having a 3DO for. It's one of the best (or the best) implementation of this game on any platform. It totally kills the PS1 version (which I also have). Unfortunately I ebayed my FZ1 and all my games a few years ago.
  8. The XB1 introduces lag without using the HDMI input! Explanation: I bought an XB1 while I was in the US last autumn in order to have something that would play US region BD and DVD discs, and possibly replace my Raspberry Pi Kodi/OSMC setup (which works pretty well). However, all BD and DVD discs played with the Bluray app display significant a/v sync issues, in the order of 10's of milliseconds. Even the Plex app and the Media Player app show a small a/v delay but not as bad as playing discs. I have tried with a TV, a Projector, with an amp, without an amp (direct to TV), changed all settings relating to refresh rate etc etc. It's totally unusable for me.
  9. I just picked up Ghostbusters and Red Dead Redemption. If it wasn't for BC I think I'd have sold my XB1 already.
  10. Ok, Put me down for one, and I'll just be patient Get well soon!
  11. Thanks for the candid answer. A quick calculation comes to about 8-10 weeks. I hope you feel better soon. BTW - If building time is the issue, maybe you can sell the parts to me as a kit. I am an experienced SMD solderer, I can build one myself. Whaddya think?
  12. If I put my name down, what's the wait time like? I want one like yesterday
