+nanochess Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I posted pics of the PCBs ages ago :- http://atariage.com/forums/topic/214212-hive-multi-cart-its-alive/page-11?do=findComment&comment=3089313 This reminds me that I can only remember things till 2 years ago, effectively I had forgotten that I saw the pictures! With these good looking PCB how is that you aren't throwing them to the hungry masses? or at least the 20 PCB offering to ultra-interested people? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billtv1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Yeah some times life gets in the way the things that we need to do come before the things that we want to do but it is good to hear that it is still alive Edited December 15, 2016 by billtv1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassjester Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I believe this project is still active, although there has been a significant delay. Hmm... 3 1/2 years since the start of the thread. Trying to keep hope alive, here. Hard not to start doubting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glassjester Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Doubting that there's progress, or doubting that they will ever be released? Both, I guess. Those two would seem to amount to the same result: No cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

128Kgames Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 You can get an LTO Flash if you are really hard up for a flash-cart. Do you know who sells them? The page for it points to an online site to order it from but its a dead link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Do you know who sells them? The page for it points to an online site to order it from but its a dead link.Contact Joe Zbiciak directly.

Blitter Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Contact Joe Zbiciak directly. Contact and order information at http://ltoflash.leftturnonly.info/ . I purchased an LTO Flash directly from Joe recently. He put together a really professional package. It's not SD based, but honestly, I got tired of waiting for the Hive and the Flash does the same thing and is available NOW. For some reason, he doesn't accept PayPal, so it can take a little longer to get the thing, but you'll be happy when you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 SD is really unnecessary, the romset is tiny. The lure of the Hive is that it will play a selection of games only it can, which I think were supposed to be included with the cart, whenever it comes. I support nearly all of these projects so I'll buy one, but it's probably lost a good deal of steam by falling off the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 One positive feature of the hive is that it needs no software on the PC side and menus are automatically built according to the folder structure. Simple and OS compatibility is not an issue. I was thinking using an SD card is a plus if ever the flash memory fails it can be easily replaced. Not sure if flash memory failing is something to be concerned about or not. Each device has some program acceleration feature which are incompatible with each other. It might affect some new games. Many people won't care either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The SD format is so much better than flash memory since there are no special computer programs you have to get working and then learn the interface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The SD format is so much better than flash memory since there are no special computer programs you have to get working and then learn the interface. Plus, I think it has automatic alphabetic-sorting built in right out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level Up and Retrogameshop do not shipping to Brazil. I not found way to send money order to JZ from Brazil. I sent an email to Jz questioning about a bank account but is was not possible. :_( :_( No problem, I'll find some way or I wait HIVE!

+SoulBuster Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 PayPal will freeze your account if you are caught selling any type of multi-cart through them. To them it falls into the piracy category. Joe does not want to take that chance. This is why he does not accept PayPal. Western Union might be an option if it is available in Brazil!

Games For Your Intellivision Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The SD format is so much better than flash memory since there are no special computer programs you have to get working and then learn the interface. I have a Cuttle Cart 3 which has an SD card. It is a pain in the rear opening it up to put a game on the thing. I much prefer simply sending games to the cart on USB through a dead simple interface. Your mileage may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet his distributors accept PayPal without problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
