intvnut Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) You could start a Poll thread. Unless a lot of sales will come from those not members here. You can only vote one option. Have options for "I will buy one" ..two ...three ...four or more... In the coming year... For the first batch's sales, I suggest folks vote with their dollars. After all, I already built the first batch's hardware. If I sell out of the first batch, then I'll set up a poll like that.

+Lathe26 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Intvnut and I were having an in-depth discussion about Intellivoice hardware via AA messages. I've deliberately slowed down the discussion to make sure it doesn't distract him from LTO Flash!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgallair Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 From what I've read, the LTO Flash has the ability to display the game's manual from the cart menu. What is the format of the manual files? I know they're text files but how long are each of the lines of text? The CC3 was limited to 21 chars. If this the same limitation on the LTO Flash?

freewheel Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I just discovered this manual thing myself. Apparently the CC3 had it. Do people seriously boot up a console, scroll through text on the TV to figure out a game, then load a game and hope you remember what the manual told you? Games of that era seemed to me to come in 2 varieties - so obvious as to not require a manual, or complex enough that you'd often refer to the manual during gameplay. I was just stunned to think of this. I guess I'm a bit more old-fashioned or something. Is it actually useful? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvnut Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 My current plan is to do pretty much as the CC3 did, displaying text files on screen and letting you scroll through them. The display is 20 characters wide, and so for best results, you'll need to format the manuals for that width. I believe there's a set of already-formatted manuals floating around that was put together for the CC3. I'd love to display the manual in a narrower font; however, there's only enough GRAM tiles to cover about 1/4th the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChefPepper Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Same here, exactly. That's my thought, mainly because I plan on playing the crap out of one so I'd like a backup for when it wears out. Just hope I can afford it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles29 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Howdy all, I've been silently following this thread for a while now, dying to get my hands on one of these flash carts. Do we have to declare interest in X of them here (or elsewhere), or is it just a matter of ordering it on the LTO website once they're ready?
