Pixelboy Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 So should we assume that those who got "placeholder nameplates" on their second-run SGM will be receiving their "real" nameplates soon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 So should we assume that those who got "placeholder nameplates" on their second-run SGM will be receiving their "real" nameplates soon? Indeed. We should be shipping in 2 or 3 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually what about the "placeholder nameplates" for the first run SGM modules? We were supposed to get replacement nameplates for those as well.

Ikrananka Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Actually what about the "placeholder nameplates" for the first run SGM modules? We were supposed to get replacement nameplates for those as well. Yep - I'm one of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tkat5200 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) Any word on my replacement SGM? Edited July 11, 2016 by Tkat5200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Any word on my replacement SGM? I believe Grazi has answered you on that. Please check your inbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Actually what about the "placeholder nameplates" for the first run SGM modules? We were supposed to get replacement nameplates for those as well. OK, I am checking with Grazi and we promise we will have an answer for that until the end of the week. Here is the problem: we sold about 500 SGMs during 1st and 2nd run. Considering that I already lost money for the 1st run, where I had to reprint everything and ended about $4,000 over budget, which I had to pay out of my pocket, replacing that many nameplates now would be a serious financial hit on me. In addition to that, those early SGMs were shipped with a nameplate, which didn't look as good as I had hoped, still it nothing compared to the temporary paper nameplate we used for the last 50 or so modules during the last run. On the other hand I want to make everybody happy with their modules. So please allow us a few days to make the math and see what can be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 So please allow us a few days to make the math and see what can be done. I am perfectly content with my first run SGM's nameplate as I am sure many others are or will be after reading your post above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcadeJunkie Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 But the 2nd run units with the paper ones are definitely getting a replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you had always planned to replace them but I'm not one to kick someone in the wallet so to speak especially after all the work you've done, so if you can make them available to buy for the first run SGMs I'm down with that. Actually doubly down with that since I've got two SGMs that need them. Edited July 12, 2016 by TMOSteel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikrananka Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'm in agreement with those above, i.e. no big deal about the replacement nameplate for my first run SGM. If one does become available to buy then I'll consider it but I'm not expecting one for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I'd like one, my 1st run SGM has the green tint to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 We just updated the first post. A few quick updates. Boxes are going to the printer this week. The good news is that we are also printing some of the future releases, so that should speed up things in the future. We got final proofs for the nameplates and they look great. Received what was supposed to the final PCBs of the new SGM. Unfortunately we made a mistake with the mounting holes, other than that the boards work great. We will need one more run to get those perfect. Nevertheless we will start the PCB manufacturing process this week as well, which initially involves a lot of talk with the factory to make sure everything goes smoothly. Picture shows, from left to right: Original SGM board, new SGM board, and Super Game Cartridge board. The new SGM board is about 30% smaller, SCART compatible and sounds slightly better. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
