Madaracs Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Meanwhile, back on XM Island... Doctor Vendel maniacally solders a diode and throws a switch! "IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!" *phzzzzlt* *ZOT* "Eh. Maybe not." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 The XM has been alive for some time, its partially self aware too.... Which is to stop you plugging an XM into an XM . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Actually they've begun to talk to one another and I'm noticing things are being moved around on my workbenches and I'm noticing the CPLD programmer was on the other night... I think they've started to build something on their own, hopefully they won't take as long to finish as the XM project has taken.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you do need a little break if your project is starting to act like a Pink Floyd movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lendorien Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Out of curiosity, any status updates pending? Haven't had one in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The XM has been alive for some time, its partially self aware too.... Which is to stop you plugging an XM into an XM . I'd planned on buying 5 of them and piggybacking them all. I figured I could get xbox 360 graphics if I did that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Propane13 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I wonder how many you could piggyback before the power supply couldn't handle it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoquickcapri Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I got this message in my email. The comments for your order are: Shipment in Late Jan 2012, finalizing debug and PC board run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 There are still some things that Curt and I need to sign off on (the delay being caused by a lack of time on my part over the last few weeks). Come the New Year we'll both be ploughing on with the XM. The only new thing on the games front is that "Halloween" is now optional XEGS keyboard compatible on its high score chart initials entry page (it doesn't use the HSC).

metzger130 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Just wondering if there were plans on the xm being able to use keyboards other then the XEGS as I have looked on ebay and I don't see that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Just wondering if there were plans on the xm being able to use keyboards other then the XEGS as I have looked on ebay and I don't see that many. The plastics are final so there is no aperture for any other ports. However, if you were to make a SIO adapter and write your own software then its possible to use a PC keyboard.

Metal Ghost Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I got this message in my email.

I've never received one (ever, actually) so I always worry a little bit that something's happened to my order record (or something....I don't know). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If you are concerned that Legacy received your order or not then I suggest you get in touch with Curt with your email address and order number and get him to confirm. However, with the holidays fast approaching it may take some days for you to get an answer. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about the automated e-mails. As soon as Curt says they are shipping thats the time to start getting excited about an XM arriving in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+swlovinist Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) Last update I got was 8/05/11. I know that my good friend has never got one. I would like some clarification on what I am supposed to do if I did not get a recent email. Consistent communication out to the people who have preordered this project via email would be a good thing keep people patient. My 10 cents on the matter. Again I am a huge fan of this project and check the updates here on a weekly basis. Edited December 25, 2011 by swlovinist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need info refer to the status page linked to in the first few post of this thread. Curt already said he will email everyone once the project is complete to verify everyone address. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
