bdoi Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I tried to put the cart on the side of the fire button, but still not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Could you explain the definition of "fire side" and "dpad side" On a Lynx I this makes not sense since the card is inserted sideways. Still waiting for mine. Fingers crossed it plays on my Lynx I. Shipping it all the way back to Finland in a padded mailer would be a PITA.

+karri Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Karri, Is there going to be a production run after the test run? If so please count me in. Cheers I decided to extend the test run for a little longer. The shop is open again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'd like to buy one, too. Great! I have a small store for all kind of hobby-stuff. Just navigate to LYNX section. Flappy Test should be visible as long as carts are available. store7603030.ecwid.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I just posted all the carts ordered. As this is a prototype only the manual is not included. So here is the manual: Press button to flap. Press Opt1 + Opt2 to zero the high score. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craftiful Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I received my Flappy Bird cartridge in the mail today. The game plays very well, the fact the the high score is saved is fantastic, the colours are vibrant and the frustration is real! I would like to thank all the people who collaborated to make this game and its cartridge release possible! My current high score is 51 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trew Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 ABS is very light. The entire envelope + cart + stamp + address label weighs 14 g. This means that the first class priority postage is €1.30 to Finland, to EU, to US and to Australia. Same price everywhere. The only problem is the US. According to our post office the mail through JFK in NY is completely stuck. So they refuse to give any delivery estimate. All post from Finland to the US goes this way. Perhaps the cart arrives in the summer. For EU it is 2 to 4 days. It got here today, so maybe 9 days from sending? Not bad! Plays great. I mean annoying. Like it's meant to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yup, I'm in Oakland, and I think mine was sent on the 13th and arrived today (in a lovely festive envelope). Good to know. I believe Karri sent mine out on the 10th or 11th, so I should have it any day now. I am in Louisiana (deep south) so it has to travel further from the ICS entry point.

Andromeda Stardust Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Et hop. A preview screen in horizontal mode. Just need to change the name of the rom to flappy.lnx I think. only 8 characters. Bmp and lsd zip file. I've made a preview for t-tris too. I hope this will not disturb the programmer. But I'm not sure of the color, I just change image to 16 colors, maybe the lynx palette will not be accurate. Okay I tried the .LSD from your post but still not seeing enough colors... EDIT: Sorry for the bump. If I knew how to make my own .LSD I'd have fixed up a batch already... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saffron1 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 ]Hi, I made a couple of boxes, one completely yellow like Karri's cart, and the other with a white spine. The blurb on the back is a bit weak, if you can think of a better one please let me know and I will update it.

Trew Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 @Tonma, are you planning a more formal release? Or is there a way to tip you for your work on this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Well, I tested my cart today but it did not work. I keep getting the "Insert Game" screen. I have two different Lynx II's that I tried it on and was not able to get anything other than that screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Well I got a pleasant birthday surprise in the the mail today (my B-Day is January 24th ). Flappy Bird has arrived, but sadly I can confirm my Lynx I does not like it. Also weirdly the "INSERT CART" screen flickers like mad when I try to run it. No amount of sliding the cart back and forth in the slot helps... Cart itself is gorgeous. I am currently uploading an "Unlisted" YT video and only linking the url to this post: (should be live in an hour or so) It's up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Ouch. Obviously the first batch suffered of something that I do not know yet. I have two carts on their way back for examination. I have since changed the flux and solder in case it was material related. In any case I will drop by the post office in about an hour to post some more Flappy Carts. I send a new cart to TrekMD and Kosmic Stardust as well. I hope to get this issue fixed before using these chips for a real release. If someone else has similar problems please tell me about it. Don't be shy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
