syn Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 He's still making Lynx carts so it shouldn't be a limited run. The Lynx carts are sold through the forums so the Jag carts should be too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 If the production is limited, it will be due to time constraints. These things won't be massed produced and it will take time. Just look how crazy long the Lynx SD card list is. Glad I got in "early." I will patiently wait as long as it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 There will be no limit on the production run for the JagSD, likewise for the LynxSD. While people want them, they will be made.... it just may take a little while. The JagSD is underway, and things are continually evolving as I learn more about the microcontroller which I've chosen to handle things. It's a powerful little device. I'm trying to get to the point where I'm happy with the direction I'm going so I can get some PCB's made up and actually start doing some physical testing. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYAman Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'd love to buy a Lynx SD adapter to support you. Do you have a store front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Well yeah, if you compare against his best sellers then supporting the Jaguar might seem questionable. But I can't imagine he sells many Game Gear carts - yet he makes those. To be fair, there are a hell of a lot more Game Gears in existence than Jaguars. I'm going out on a limb here because I'm not a hardware expert, but it's possible due to the Game Gear being extremely similar to the SMS, it was easy to take his existing Master System cart and condense it to create a GG flash cart.

SainT Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'd love to buy a Lynx SD adapter to support you. Do you have a store front? No, there's no direct shop as yet. I'll get something done one day... There's a pre-order list up in this thread: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/250637-lynx-multi-card-preorders/page-1 Many thanks.

Moo Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 So he sells game gear sd carts too? What forum would you go to to buy those? What other carts does he make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 So he sells game gear sd carts too? What forum would you go to to buy those? What other carts does he make? I believe SainT just has the Lynx SD and the Jag one he's working on. The GG flash cart is by someone else, and can be found here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagosaurus Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Just happy to see this coming out! Curiously, how long was the development cycle on the Lynx SD, are we talking ehhh 6 months or years. Then roughly how long from working proto to devices being made? I'm going to follow this thread closely with patience again, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Let me just say that the Lynx SD Cart is amazing and nothing has been in my Lynx since it arrived. This cart will be epic and I think will have a big impact on the Jag scene. Very important work and looking forward to it coming to fruition!

If I'm not mistaken, it took SainT like 2 years to release the Lynx cart. Pretty fast for a one man job imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm hoping it will only be like another 6 months or something.... I'm actively working on it all. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fille1976 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 the lynx card really rocks,great device and easy to setup and use. so the jag card will be same quality it will be a fantastic device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagosaurus Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I'm hoping it will only be like another 6 months or something.... I'm actively working on it all. Niceeee. I do think this is huge for the Jaguar scene. I'm not a constant forum visitor. Is it safe to say this thread is the best place to keep up with updates or will a separate thread with directions, etc be started once the SD cart is finished? Thanks SaintT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katom96 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I would like to be added to your list for the Jaguar SD cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krip316 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I would like to be added to your list for the Jaguar SD cartridge. So would everybody else, but there is no such list. Read the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Yeah, no lists yet. I've actually started doing some layout work on the PCB finally though!! I've got it all reasonably solid in my head now and schematics for chunks of it are sorted. So there's bits I can start to layout now... so it finally feels like I'm getting somewhere. Hopefully should have a PCB layout to order in a few weeks to start testing the flash and memory interface stuff. It will have a small flash (128KB accessible) for boot-up and menu system, then a load of RAM which will be switchable in the cart memory space. So you can boot from FLASH, populate the RAM from memory card, then boot from it as a normal cart. Lots is in flux in terms of how I'm going to handle it. I'm hoping a lot of things can be offloaded to the microcontroller, like EEPROM support etc... It's looking like the cart will have 16mb of RAM on it, which will be pageable should anyone want to have that kind of memory available quickly.
