    I mean in order to play the games you should keep it. If I had one, 'storage' would be 6 inches away and getting swapped with my jagsd as needed.

    Plus it's always nice to play the 'will the Jaguar CD work' coin toss when you reconnect it 😉

    I think it's a valid concern for some people, the CD is a (relatively) rare item and, as such, would be a prime reason to buy it. I think the posters question is more is this something that can be patched in and is it definitely going to happen. Two valid concerns which i'm guessing are nearly impossible for SainT to answer at the moment (given the nature of the problem).

    Unfortunately there's nothing out of the ordinary in there. :(

     

    I think it's something to do with interrupts and exactly when they are generated. Although I'm not sure how or why yet.... I can certainly vary the behavior of the GPU fetch unit accessing local GPU RAM from the CPU by changing when and for how long the interrupt line is held high.

     

    Very odd.... :?

     

    Yeah the docs seem to suggest that the address might be a little odd if the GPU Interrupt code hasn't run. But I think that's fairly well known

    I've got no problem with a 3D printed case, it's what's inside that counts. The worse problem you get with a well printed 3D object is layer lines, and if they're genuinely a huge issue you can just get some epoxy and scrape it over to make the case smoother.

     

    I'd certainly rather a 3D printed case than an extra £20 - £30 on top for an injection molded one.

    No, it won't fit in a standard case.

     

    I have the new boards back now, though, and they fit in the case I have designed perfectly! I've decided to increase my 3D printing capacity after pricing injection molds and outsourcing 3D printing. Sadly they are just too expensive. However, the quality of the 3D prints I produce has never been an issue, just the speed I can do them. So I'm addressing the speed issue - it's nearly there now. This will let me produce all my carts more quickly.

    Have you looked into Cold Casting? It can be quite good for mass producing, especially if you produce a good initial model

    Good point, it's (relatively simple). In terms of how the consoles are arranged there's a couple of overarching rules, but there's no ordering based on manufacturer, age, era or anything like that.

     

    A slightly old picture of the shelving units

     

    Any systems that work best on old fashioned CRT screens (including the Atari 2600) are on the left hand side, any machines that need some weird screen modes or refresh frequencies are on the right, with my OSSC unit.

     

    Other than that, There are 9 units, each with 3 shelves. The units are named A to I and the the shelves 1, 2 and 3. Obviously, I only have a couple of screens (ignoring the CRT). So each unit is connected via a video switcher, and then three of those switchers are connected together.
