    I'm pretty far down the list but am content to wait for AA to start selling them.  I am curious, though, about roughly how many of these have been sold or pre-ordered, if you don't mind saying?

    Stupid quest but how / where do you check your position on the list?

    No Flashcart for the system. I wish there was though. I got a Channel F on eBay for about $150 a year ago. There is a Multicart for the console though. It comes with every game released, but you can't put games on it.

    Where is your Ebay listing so I can take a look?

    PM me if you don't want to share it in forums.

    This is rubbish...ignoring the pre order list.

    years of waiting and disrespecting old customers.

    The amount of people that read or hear out of band or out of context info in a forum or on Twitter, then fill in the void with their own assumptions and settle on them as facts without going further or asking questions is astounding.

    Says a lot about what goes on in the world.

    I think I solved my issue with not having a Windows PC...PM sent your way!

    Windows and Linux supports formatting an SD as FAT(16). macOS should as well.

    You guys are smart.  I have always wanted to program a homebrew game for the Odyssey2.  I have seen some games programmed for the O2 that look amazing with today's know how in programming.   I want to push the system to its limits.  I have TWO questions?  Where can I learn to program for something like the the Atari VCS, Intellivision,  O2 etc?  What do I physically need at my home to accomplish this?  Any information would be greatly appreciated.   

    Or CC65 compiler for Atari.

    As a hobby developer I really like the idea of SD carts with eeprom support. The SD is a wonderful platform for releasing competition entries and small games.

     

    The money side that I am concerned about is this:

    If I create a game with a box and manual and actually sell copies at some events. Will the purchasers feel betrayed if I later give away the game for free?

     

    Currently I have "solved" the problem by sending emails with the enhanced version of the game only to people who have got a hw copy.

     

    Actually I have a list of people who should receive their binary copy for On Duty. Due to my other engagements I still have not made the last fixes on that game. But I hope to start sending these emails in a month for the guys who got a boxed copy.

    If someone feels betrayed they're being silly and selfish tbh. They paid for a physical copy and are getting something special they paid for. If they want more than they paid for, thats their problem.

    Also you can just sell a digital ROM version of the game so people can support your game even if you provide it for free. Humans have selfish egocentric tendencies of self-worth through items they own they think gives them value over others. Its good to make customers happy but costumers are not always right. Be fair but don't let people control what you think is fair.

    Whats the best place to be updated for when orders from 3rd parties will be setup?

    Forums or Twitter? Or is there a mailing list that could be setup for this so I don't miss it?

     

    I sometimes have a lot of stuff to keep track of and I would hate to miss what sometimes is a short Window for such things.

    ...and the F00kb00k page:

     

    https://www.facebook.com/retromodding

     

    Seriously F**k Zuck, he has been very careless with millions of people's data and has allowed and just this week says he will continue to allow foreign (Russian) false propaganda to affect Elections around the globe and.....

    the Brexit vote.

    Asshat! or should it be Ass Hat? or A Shat? A cross between a sh1t and a hat?

     

    Needless to say I don't use FB and have deleted the app from my mobile phones as it tracked so much other than just what you did on FB.  I heard it may even scoop up those 200+ contacts on yer phone too and sell the info to God knows who to do God knows what with it.

    I hate Facebook as well and don't use it but you're conflating things. Random people who are paid to interpret the doctrine of Facebooks policy through their own biases are responsible for policing others unfairly on the platform.

     

    Good practices for Facebook:

    #1 use Ublock-Origin. #2 don't learn about reality through the lens of Ads.  #3 its not Facebooks responsibility nor the governments to dictate one political side vs another and babysit the intellectually confused. They're there for money.  Anyone who pays for an Ad that isn't against the law or Facebooks policies should be able to pay for it (politics lean on propaganda in general and if its people are so fragile something else is wrong)... #4 Stop using social media that deletes decanting points of view.

    Vectrex SD Cart?

    Just the menu (not the games) gets messed up.

     

     

    On my console the menu and also the games would not work correctly, sometimes nothing would come up on the screen.  Yet VecFlash works perfect.

    Of course because the menu is launched first before games, whatever its doing wrong could trickle into effecting the game. So maybe the fix is the solution for both in my case?

     

    When you're ready to test your new revision of the hardware for VecMulti, I would be happy to buy and make sure its working on my console if it sounds like a more extreme case.

    SainT any news about progress for CD support. I see you start some new projects and there is not to much news about JagGD developement in last month, and i just afraid did CD support is on hold on, or it is abandoned? Now i'm in a big dilemma, should i still hope and wait or buy a Jaguar CD addon.

    Seems like someone should make a SD to CD drive replacement board instead. That way you could just use original CD expantions with .iso / .img files on an SD card like others have done with other consoles.

    C64 EasyFlash 3 fails to upload .crt files?

    Even as a games machine, people expect the more advanced floppy based games to work as well, which is why the SD2IEC is not enough, people required the Ultimate series.

     

    In principle, someone could write a cartridge friendly program that automatically loads a directory from drive 8 and lets you select a file to run. You could probably even allow it to navigate folders on the drive. That way, you could combine an EasyFlash or even a simple 8/16K cartridge with an SD2IEC to make the memory card based multicart without any further engineering. Actually I made a program myself that fits on a 8K cartridge that does LOAD"*",8,1 using the Dreamload turbo. It kind of works for not too large single filed programs and was useful when putting up a C64 in kiosk mode at an expo, connected to either a floppy drive or a SD2IEC. The fact that the cart was inserted and somehow protected meant that even power cycling the computer would get the desired software to load back.

    What is stopping a cart from acting like normal game carts that came out back in the day but one that just loads up a navigation screen to in turn load stuff off its own SD card?

    So EasyFlash SD basically.

    Looks like I'm running into the same issue others have had here: https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63356&sid=358166cd6d88649c1d2d58f9a86d6fc0

     

    I bet its some driver issue with Win10. Wonder if I use some old WinXP computer the issue might go away.

     

    Sounds like if I get an SD2IEC I can flash the cart from that... but if SD2IEC works what is the point of EasyFlash lol.
