The choice is yours, you may get a message from Al in the next couple of days. AtariAge gets considerably more stock than the UK as a whole.

I mean depending on when you got on your wait list, and when you paid for it, it's probably on it's way.. if I haven't been spending my time designing a cooler for the Cyberstorm PPC I'd be playing around on my JagGD...

TheGameCollector Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I was kind of hoping to get StoneAge's included SD card and bit box Deluxe edition though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wonder on the 'correctness' of including preloaded SDcards. Some people are 100% against it, others will sell them separately, and others just include it in the price (talking about flash carts in general, and not the JagGD in particular. ) On the one hand, if the flash cart seller doesn't include it, then people have to either find a sketchy torrent, troll through forums, or download from archive.org (which can also be sketchy). Or they can find some sketch seller on ebay that sells "loads of roms on CF or SD!" (I see TONS of these for the Amiga). If the flash cart seller does include them, they sometimes can get called out for distribution of others' work, and then they stop making the carts because it just isn't worth it. Me, I am of the opinion that if people are giving away Homebrew games, tgere should be an pinned updated list in each forum where to get those. And then either in the same post, with separate links, where you can buy and / or donate to them. Hunting through forums for updated versions or other homebrew stuff makes most of us miss the opportunity to be able to get them. Quite a few I have missed out on, due to missing the forum posts here and there and only finding out about them years later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what Fred Quimby has done with the Harmony Cart (at least if you buy one that includes the SD card). The homebrew games on the card he obtained permission to include. 17 minutes ago, leech said: Me, I am of the opinion that if people are giving away Homebrew games, tgere should be an pinned updated list in each forum where to get those.

SainT Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Yep, as Al alludes to, any memory from Stone Age Gamer only contains games which they have licensed for distribution. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastor Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I'm really interested in a good place to find homebrew that's free to distribute (and that can be rightfully purchased as a ROM) for any systems here. I too feel lucky when I track down a buried forum post with a download link, and I'm sure I'm missing many. Versioning can also be tricky as they might have the original in the first post then an update with big fixes buried in dozens of pages Looking forward to what Al's working on!

Just because a given homebrew title might be free to download this does not grant anyone distribution rights or permission to bundle with whatever thing they might be selling. Don't confuse freeware (what most homebrew are) with public domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't confuse freeware (what most homebrew are) with public domain. Yeah I don't mean a file repository (though that could be part of it for PD titles), I mean more of a database of links and instructions on how to properly acquire currently available PD, freeware, and paid roms, all in one place for this and other systems. I really should have said free to obtain in that case. I'm an end user, I'm not distributing anything.

leech Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Finally had a moment to use mine, plugged it in, and only got the RetroHQ screen, and was about to cry, then remembered it didn't work with the JagCD plugged in, so had to take that out, unplug the dual PSU that I bought at some point, and plugged in the giant brick for the Jaguar and it started on up! Now to find more than a moment to play some games! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but seriously, for $180, would it be too much to ask for a shell that doesn’t feel like sandpaper and a good quality label? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
