+MacRorie Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 No worries. I sent you a PM. There is also another purchase thread here: Click me! It contains the same information I put in the PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Realize I'm late to this party--Let me know if I can still order one. In NYC, NY. There's a new thread specifically for ordering carts after pre-order here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/263986-ultimate-atari-cart-electrotrains-purchase-thread/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I think it would be great to get this for my XEGS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MacRorie Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Yes, they are still available. Just follow the instructions in post #1 of this thread and all will be golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MacRorie Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 As you may have noticed, some of the cartridges shipped out. I have a STACK of carts to ship out. I had two done and got them out the door, then hit a snag. Snag has been ironed out and I have been feverishly assembling them. All I need to do is make about 30 more and then send them out. I have 50 that will go into boxes and hit the USPS tomorrow (Thursday). I will promise that ALL carts will go out no later than 10 MAY. I expect them to be out before that, but I am giving myself a little leeway. However, I leave for China on 18MAY, so all of them HAVE TO BE GONE BY 15 MAY! :-) As a point of clarity, the numbers/order date did not matter, just needed to get to 50. 70 carts are going out in the next few days, so look for them soon! I think they came out very nicely. I like the label better this run. I will post pics later tonight! This also means that after 15 MAY, the balance of the carts will go on eBay. Since eBay charges 10% off of the top for everything (including shipping) the price will have to go up! Buy them before 15 May to keep the AtariAge price! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Just got mine thanks! Is there an idiots guide to setting them up or better yet an SD card image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) SD Image is however you want to do it. No right or wrong way, although directories are recommended. Do yourself a favor and convert all your ROM files to CAR files. Not necessary for all (directions are included with cart, but I did all mine to keep it uniform. I created the following directory on my SD Card.... AtariMax (any 1mb and 8mb AtariMax cart images) Demos (Atari in store demo and others) Diagnostic (testing software) DOS (Sparta, Insta Dos and other cart base DOSes) Education (Self explanatory) Games (No idea what is in here ) Misc (anything else that does not go in any other folder) Programming (Basic, Mac65, Pilot, Logo etc....) Utilities (AtariWriter, Micro Filer etc...) XEX (any XEX images like Pac-Man arcade and so many others) Nothing really to set up. Just create your SD card, put it in the cart, put the cart in the Atari, and turn it on. Very simple. Edited May 9, 2017 by scotty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 BTW... Very nice job on the 3D printed cases MacRorie, These things are AWESOME!!! A must for any serious Atari 8-bit user!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbievgb Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Can anyone point me to good ROMs of Crystal Castles and Dark Chambers? Tried these out on my XEGS and got a message saying it was possibly a bad rom.

+MacRorie Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Glad everyone is enjoying them so far! The cases turned out okay. My next investment is a two nozzle printer. I would *love* to be able to print the Fuji out in a different color from the case. The Glow in the Dark cases are kind of cool (I think). But what is really cool is that the translucent colors flash nicely with the LED. I mean even on the dark color it shines through the label, but the translucent ones look "cooler" to me. I will investigate sources of pre-collected roms/etc, but I do not provide them because, well, that gets into a grey area I don't feel comfortable inhabiting (distributing ROMs etc) . . . . If you have anyone that wants one, so long as I get payment by the 14th of May, it will go out before I leave for China. If not, they can still buy one, but it will not get shipped until the end of the month. I think they are must have devices and ElectroTrains deserves a LOT of kudos for inventing them, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I got mine, didn't have time to set it up last night though. I really wish my newer TV/Receiver had S-Video, the 8-Bit just looks so much better with it... Then again, that low of a resolution on a 55" TV... nah, still looks awesome! Kind of wished I'd gotten a translucent case on mine, that sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZroe Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) I'll take one. PMing the OP... Edit: OK, found the other thread and sent payment. Wish I had confirmation that they weren't sold out first but it doesn't look like there's been an update on how many are left for a while (since 30).

megarat Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I got my carts just yesterday and I'm psyched to get to work on this. MacRorie, thanks so much for initiating this. Does anyone have recommendations for brands and sizes of SD cards to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MacRorie Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I have about 20 left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZroe Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Anyone know if SmokeMonster has one of these? I have about 20 left.Cool. Thanks! Can't wait for mine. Also, would you consider updating the quantity remaining with the date next to the PayPal.me link? That way people will be less worried about buying something OOS as the stock dwindles and they won't have to go back and forth to find the latest update. Just an idea! Thanks again.

CZroe Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) Posts cannot be edited after 30 days, sorry.Oh yeah! In my case I can't seem to edit after 30 minutes but that's probably a restriction based on something else (member status?). Oh well. These kinds of restrictions always bug me especially since I can't imagine why we have them. Edited May 10, 2017 by CZroe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Does anyone have recommendations for brands and sizes of SD cards to use? I am using a 16GB, ONLY because that is the smallest size I had readily available. You have to remember, we are talking 8K, 16K up to 128K in size. You could fit the entire library on a 1GB card anbd still have all kinds of room to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember, we are talking 8K, 16K up to 128K in size. You could fit the entire library on a 1GB card anbd still have all kinds of room to spare. Thanks for the info. I was thinking more about compatibility than anything else. I've encountered other projects like this that were a bit fickle about what kinds of cards they could use, so it made sense to ask. I ended up ordering a pair of 8GB Sandisk SDHC cards because, like your circumstances, they were the lowest-capacity cards I could find w/o spending even more money, and Sandisk cards seem to be pretty robust.
