Galeforcerm #1 Posted May 8, 2012 I was at http://schells.com/cc3.shtml downloading the cuttle cart software and noticed that it says that it's sold out if everybody who's ordered pays. Glad I got mine before they were gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the.golden.ax #9 Posted May 9, 2012 If anyone wants to trade me for one, I'll give you a sweet deal. Wow, I phrased that badly. I WANT A CC3. I've been selling off games just so I could get one. If you have one to sell, I'll give you a great deal for trade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaybird3rd #20 Posted May 10, 2012 How do all these threads get so far off topic? Well, you know what they say ... shift happens. As for the CC3, it's a fine product and I'm glad I got mine when I had the chance. That's usually the way it goes with homebrew products: the economics often dictate limited quantities, and you've just got to grab it as soon as you can or you'll miss out. I actually own two of them: one for everyday game-playing, and another that I plan to use for development. My second one is actually in my office at my university at the moment; I bring an Intellivision into my classroom every once in a while, when I want to show the kids what gaming was like in the good old days.

I almost bought a back-up copy, now I wish I had! oh well..... Jay, since you have experience with PCB's or maybe at least designing them (i think). How difficult would it be to design a new pcb for a new multicart, maybe even using an sd card. but without directly stealing Chad Schells design? Does the CC3 pcb 'pre-programmed' with any data/program/info or is it 'off the shelf' parts and the sd card is the brain and what makes it work?

+GroovyBee #23 Posted May 10, 2012 How difficult would it be to design a new pcb for a new multicart, maybe even using an sd card. but without directly stealing Chad Schells design? Its not hard to develop a multicart if you have the right skills. It just takes a bit of research, some electronics design and some software. In my mind the main problem is the lack of market. Look how long it took Chad to sell his stock of CC3s. If you made a new cart now it would need to offer something new to attract customers that already have a C3 otherwise there would be no reason to get one other than to add to your collection. Does the CC3 pcb 'pre-programmed' with any data/program/info or is it 'off the shelf' parts and the sd card is the brain and what makes it work? The parts are off the shelf but you'd need to make a BIOS for it that would read a menu from the SD card and present it on screen for the player to pick a title to play. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
