    This a Raptor Basic program, not Raptor Basic+.

     

    To cut a long story short, Raptor Basic is a completely different project which is discontinued. Any project for rb is not compatible with rb+ without some conversion.

     

    To see which projects are available, just type "build.bat" without any parameters on the command line in your rb+ base folder.

     

    I'll change the subject a bit in order to not confuse people

     

    Thank you for the clarification. Can BASIC programs be used used in Raptor Basic +?

    Picked up Lego Dimensions Fun Pack: Power Puff Girls from GameStop. It had a yellow clearance sticker and was marked $5.97. It was in a display showing all clearance items as being 50% off the yellow sticker price. I asked the checkout person (I believe her name was Sage) if this item qualified for the 50% discount. She said it would if I asked nicely and then said she would honor it even if it rang up at the regular clearance price. So I got it for $3.30 including tax.

    Stuck on manufacturing =D

     

    Hopefully we will be able to get the games ready by Oct.

     

    In your original post you mentioned hopefully doing two groups of releases for a total of 4 Jaguar games in 2018. (This will lead to Jaguar released (hopefully!) to be done in pairs, so (hopefully) there will be 2 releases in 2018 of a total of 4 games.) With October being the new date for the games to be ready, will this release be for 2 games or 4 games? Either way I can't wait to see what is coming.

    Picked these up on Saturday from Gamestop. As a Powerup Rewards member I get 10% off used games so the prices shown reflect the discount. The first two Uncharteds just had the generic cases. When the store employee was getting the games, he gave me the cases that had the original art and manuals.

     

    PS3 Uncharted Drake's Fortune (complete) - $0.89

    PS3 Uncharted 2 Among Thieves (complete) - $0.89

    PS3 Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception (no manual) - $0.89

    PS3 Turning Point Fall of Liberty (complete) - $2.69

    PS3 MotorStorm (complete but the manual is in French) - $2.69

    PS Vita - MLB 12 the Show (cartridge only) -$0.89.

    Not bad for less than $10.

    I wonder if he would be willing to work just on the Jaguar portion of the program? Here are my thoughts. He originally wanted to raise about $18,000 and this would cover 4 systems. That breaks down to about $4,500 per system. If the Retro Game Designer (Jaguar Edition) was treated like RPG Maker for the Playstation One, it might get more interest within the Jaguar community. Setting a price at $50 for this edition, he would only need to sale 90 units to reach $4,500. I think this is a reachable goal. The $50 version would be the amateur version (unable to sell created games). There would also be the professional version at say $300. With the professional version, he would only need to sale 15 units to reach $4,500. I would think between the amateur and professional versions he would reach $4,500, possibly higher. For those who just buy the amateur version, an option could be available where they can upgrade to the professional version (just pay the difference between the two versions).

     

    Whether $4,500 is worth it for him to continue with the Jaguar only edition only he can answer.

     

    I know I would spend $50 for the amateur version to see what I could come up with. At that price I could only get one hour of work from a professional video game coder.

     

    Orion has done a lot for the Jaguar community. I wish him well.

    Ok, just googled the phrase - it does indeed mean the opposite of its direct translation, that I had thought it meant...

     

    to be fair, there are phrases in my native 3 languages that escape me to this day, so this one doesn't bother me too much

     

    I'm glad it wasn't just another attack at my progress, though!

     

     

    So, 150 carts of something like REZ - doable or absurd?

     

    VladR,

     

    Sorry for the confusion. Let me state that the purpose of my original post was only to confirm what you had said in the a previous topic. It was in no way intended to be seen as an attack on your progress. I wish you well with your project and look forward to seeing your results. I think you would not have a problem reaching sales of 150 carts.

    Just out of curiosity though, why consider the 8 over the 32? It almost seems to me like the 32GB models are a dime a dozen, not so much for the 8GB ones. I will admit I haven't done the research recently, but I can't imagine there being much of a price difference between the two.

     

    The price difference I have seen between the 8 and the 32 is about $20.

    Hi mmbe,

     

    I've spoken to Albert - if you'd like to arrange with him to return the cart it'll be replaced with a new one. Hope that fixes the issue :)

    CyranoJ,

     

    I had been in contact with Al when the problem first occurred. I purchased the game off of AtariAge's Ebay store. No need for a replacement game to be sent since I don't think the problem is with the game itself. The game works fine without the CD attachment and does eventually work with the CD attached. My only reason to for the original post was to make people aware of a possible issue. Since it appears the issue is related to my setup, no further action is required. What I really need are some cheat codes to get further in the game (unlimited health or a level skip code would be nice).

     

    On a side note, just a shout out to Al for being very prompt when I first contacted him via Ebay with the issue. Excellent customer service. Thanks.

    Since I raised this issue, let me provide an update. The game loads fine without the CD attached. It takes several tries with the CD attached to get the game to load. It's kinda like having a difficult to load NES game - the need to find the sweet spot. I never had this problem with any of my other games and was just curious if anyone else ran into the same issue. Looks like I'm the only one and that's fine.
