You can connect multiple PlusCarts to one PlusStore account. 1 hour ago, Wizzard said: Btw, how to play that Star Ship game? https://atariage.com/manual_thumbs.php?SoftwareLabelID=495 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Al_Nafuur Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Usually there are 2 to 3 PlusCart orders a week. Today there were 9 and since the stock is now empty 10 stock notify requests already. What happened, what did I missed? Has the PlusCart been on the evening news yesterday? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzard Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Well, it was my modest post on AtariAge FB with the picture and I was surprised how many people do not know what is PlusCart! Some of them even thought it was some paid advertisment Crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made a couple of Facebook posts in Atari groups related to PlusCart. Specifically, someone suggested putting a rPi inside a '2600 cartridge and connecting to the Internet. I replied that the PlusCart already does much of what was suggested, and even more. There were one or two other posts where mentioning the PlusCart was logical, so I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I've seen those posts and they are good arguments. There are so many people trying to do what PlusCart is already doing. I think a lot of the attraction is the fact that PlusCart to me is become mature. It's still in beta so to speak but it's far from where it started thanks to the great team we have that's constantly seeing what more we can tease out if the hardware/software. It's went from a cool device to stay informed on to "Man I have to get me one of those, that's cool!".Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzard Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It is the best. I just had the problem with WPS connect on both my Pluscarts, but no problem connecting using SSID and password, so no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prizrak Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I still have issues where on turning the atari on the cart acts like no wifi. I wait about 5 secs and try retry and it works again. Just a glitch but it'll get worked out.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 35 assembled PCB left from my soldering service, but I flash and encase them with the modified standard cartridge when they are ordered. 1 hour ago, Andrew Davie said: Happy to print some shells to order and ship. Cleaning and modifying a standard cartridge is a lot of work, so I would prefer the 3D shells. But producing the 3D shells has been a complete disaster here. ? I still don't offer them at the shop and luckily I found someone who is about to print the pins for the already ordered ones. I have ordered (and received yesterday) a 3D printer, but I haven't assembled it and I don't have much experience, time and no filament, so I still would prefer to find a 3D printing service nearby. But if anyone wants to build and offer PlusCarts for sale, that would be OK with me: http://pluscart.firmaplus.de/pico/?Shop Edited March 9, 2021 by Al_Nafuur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look very good, but they are still missing the closing pins! My supplier was not able to deliver them. He had a COVID-19 infection and the last message from him was that he has to move to another city, since then I have not heard from him again.

My supplier was not able to deliver them. He had a COVID-19 infection and the last message from him was that he has to move to another city, since then I have not heard from him again. I've been (coincidentally) approached by a chinese 3D printing company. I used to run rather large 3D printing groups, and these companies would contact me hoping to be allowed to advertise. Anyway, not with those groups anymore, but this company has followed up to tell me about a new (resin) printer. They said I should try them, so I thought why not - so I'm getting a quote on the 3D shells (100 units) just to see how much it would cost. They would be single-colour of course, so would have to have a label instead of the insert (+). When I get the quote I'll let you know. Quality should be superb, though. Their printer is huge -- 1400 mm x 700 mm x 500 mm. The vat of resin alone, during print, would easily be $1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) US$22 each, so much for that! Including postage. They quoted US$1600 for 100 units + $600 postage (!!!) Edited March 9, 2021 by Andrew Davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to do a small run of 10 to show how good the quality is. I've offered $5/unit. Edit: rejected - below their production costs. So much for that.

Thanks I do not know. However, on my machine I have Nextcloud setup, and in my local machine I see the Offline directory. I imagine if you delete files from there (your local machine, in the Nexcloud directory), they will also be deleted on the plusstore. Worth a try.

David Crane and Garry and Dan Kitchen announced that they have partnered to form Audacity Games, Inc. They will produce games that connects to the internet through mobile devices for registering high scores and earn physical patches. Two days ago I posted the news on Facebook, adding that PlusCart(+) has that feature (but patches are virtual...). I confirm that people doesn't know PlusCart(+). With such a nice price many people would buy it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Did you use the nextcloud client or the web interface? As far as I can see in your account the "My ROMs" folder is deleted, and part of the "Public ROMs" folder has been copied to "Offline" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
