  1. Holy crap thats amazing. Hats off to you sir well done. Love to have that game.
  2. And thats totally fair. I mean its a vintage toy not a heart replacement. I get it. All I was saying is is updates means alot even if you tell everyone you are putting this project on hold for a few months. Thats all I was getting at.
  3. Look I feel everyone needs to cool it. And to claim this other guy was l Milking it is a stretch. We all had been asking got nothing, not a response. This happens alot on Atariage. Ive been waiting a year and others 2 or more years to get a response from a guy to make nuon controllers. Of which hes already made in the past and sold then states more are coming and nothing for years. So spare everyone the drama. 511 is no doubt busy and I get that. But it only takes a couple of minutes to update your thread and give your interested ones that update. I was there when the other person came in and took on the project as well. Yet 511 hadn't responded not once till months later. Telling me it wasn't that important to him. You can say what you want but in the end dropping in once a month to let everyone know your still trying, goes a long ways. I get alerts when this thread has new comments as well as others. And I'm not the originator of it. Yet 511 not once responded when that other person jumped in. Why is that? Because he wasn't making it a priority. Not interested, not at least all those months this thread went dark. I watched people come every month asking about it and zero response. As I said earlier this isnt uncommon on Atariage so sorry if you think people have lost faith because its been a repeat experience on here. Also I might add that if it wasn't for that other guy who knows how long 511 would have taken to move this along. Might have been the necessary fire under the feet this project needed. IMHO
  4. Your correct. Its been dormant too long. I get it its difficult and you have to keep people informed. I had a similar situation with something and people were asking me all the time and I just responded the facts. And when it didnt pan out I told them. He has a point about you having your own spot and thats actually better. I was thinking this project was dead. Then you came and got things moving. In the end I hope this lites the fire on this project and gets this little handheld the attention it needs. Thanks for your efforts
  5. Im glad to see you back. And definitely think you should continue moving forward. None of this would have happened and raised interest in this little ol handheld if you hadn't gotten the ball rolling. I think having 2 in the works is great. In the end its a passion project and keep gaming history alive. Anything I can do to help promote it let me know. Thats for you and rwburbage
  6. Do you still make these and if so do you ship to the States? Also do you know bbn of anyone that does reproduction boxes for the colecovision console itself
  7. So I just received 2 units with broken screens so add me for 3 screens total.
  8. Not sure how common the c64's had problems. They seemed pretty solid. I had one through the 90s early 2000s and never had any problems. Sold that one. And fast forward bought another one last year again zero problems and we're talking about a computer thats over 30 years old. Also will add what really is common with c64 failures is the power supply. They can fail all of a sudden and allow higher voltage to the computer and destroy it. As for the microvision. I have the newer unit with the shielding and uses 1 battery. Still works but from what I read in the past is these being stored in warmer climates or left in the sun will speed up the failure rate to the screen itself. Mine spent most of if not all of its life in the Pacific northwest which is mostly cooler climate year round. Less chances of being hot.
  9. Not sure what you mean. But someone else is making strides to have a screen replacement and possible built in light. If you were already aware of that disregard my comment
  10. Ot would be great to see a surge of homebrews come out somehow once these dead units are back up and running.
