Any updates for the torrent? Seems I am the only seeder left..

Thanks Farb, I will be seeding it immediately.

Seems to be quite a few new titles added. Is there an update torrent? I am still seeding the earlier torrent, but it seems an update may be in order. Thanks for the preservation effort! Most of my original disks were destroyed in a garage fire about 10 years ago, so it is awesome to be able to play those titles again. It took my beer-soaked brain a sec to realize what you are trying to do, but once it clicked I applaud your effort! Keep up the good work, and if you post an update I will throw it on my seedbox and seed tilll I bleed. Let me know, k?

I have a ton of .atr files. Been weeding out most of the non-working ones. I could upload them somewhere if you have a spot. I am at the point where sorting them is taking too much time and hassle. We need a unified archive so it can all be sorted and all the broken images gotten rid of. There are huge archives online already, but most of them contain too many broken/non-working images. Hopefully, this project can see an end to all that.

Downloaded and added to my torrentbox, will seed for a few months. Let me know if you update it so I can seed the most recent version. Thanks for this, I would love to see tons more added to this!

Saving/Assembling/Compiling to disk doesnt work with any of the carts in this image. Somebody did promise a fix, but I havent seen one yet.

The only prob with this image is there are issues with loading/saving.

Check the Atarimax 1mb cart image forum. Steve has .atr's for M/65 and several other OSS carts up for d/l. I have attached a few of the images from there (if you dont want to register on the Atarimax site). BTW these are all 1mbit images. action %28maxflash image%29.atr.gz basxl103 %28maxflash image%29.atr.gz mac65-102-1mbit.zip mac65101 %28maxflash image%29.atr.gz

If you got the cart from Steve Tucker, there's a pretty good chance it is an Atarimax 1mb flash cart. If you do a search on his site you can find an .atr to re-flash the cart. That may fix the issue you are having. If not then you can flash another 1mb cart with that .atr and you'll be off and running.

Do you have the links for those guides? I have the one on candle's site and Stephen posted a bunch of pics. Are there others? I agree it isnt trivial to install, I'm just trying to make sure I do it right, rather than doing it halfway and having to redo it later.

Thanks for the link, Stephen! It did help clarify a couple things I was trying to figure out. Somebody really needs to put together a step-by-step for installing this board, and some basic usage instructions. candle's website shows the basic info, but I get the feeling there are some skipped steps (like drilling a hole in the power board for "mechanical support", then never mentioning/showing it again. Got a hole with no idea what I am supposed to do with it). There are a number of spots like that in his instructions. I have the first one working, and am about 1/2 thru the second. Somehow it is a much larger project than I anticipated.

well, well, well.. My Incognitos finally got here! They just decided to take a relaxing world tour cuz they knew they would work their lil a$$'s off once I got em. In the process of installing them now. Would have been nice if candle would have included the color-coded wires with the kit (especially if he refers to the wires by color in his instructions). Be that as it may, the board is very nice quality. I will post again when I finish up the install. I must admit I was spoiled by Lotharek's "near-solderless" installation for the U1mb. These beasties are a different thing altogether. Lotsa work involved routing the wiring so it doesnt get pinched.

Well here it is a full week since my Incognitos appeared on usps tracking. Still shows them as departing Flushing NY, and no other activity. Have spent 3 hours on the phone with usps and they cant seem to tell me where they are, all they suggest is I wait some more... that seems to be what I have been doing for 14 months now. I cant say when they are going to arrive. I have never had any shipment take this long, and I have ordered from Lotharek a couple times, and his stuff gets here in under a month. This is driving me nutz!

Awesome! My Incognitos just showed up on US tracking! So, I guess sometime later this week (or early next week), they will be dropping on my doorstep! This has been a pretty long journey for me, and it really feels great knowing that I will soon be able to enjoy these awesome things! I hereby submit that whatever day they arrive shall be known henceforth as INCOGNITO DAY

Thats probably it. There have been requests that I sell mine which prompted the above post. Anyway, just trying to point them in the right direction, and trying to clarify my position. I didnt realize I was doing wrong.. sorry if I offended anyone. P.S. People who PM me about selling my Incognitos will be ignored from now on and I will not respond.

It is amazing to me how every time I post about not receiving my incognitos, I get people posting about how they want one too. I know they are an awesome piece of kit, but if you are interested in one, I am not the one to provide it. I have been waiting 13 months to get mine, and ordered 2 (both of which I will be using). I didnt wait this long to sell them out before I even get them. I look forward to the day when I can post on here how awesome they are and how they were worth the wait. Sadly they are in Post Office limbo and I still have no idea when they will be arriving. If there are so many wanting one maybe another thread will be started to motivate candle into doing a 4th run. It would be up to him then (or somebody that actually has one or more to sell), not me.

I have bought a few things from Lotharek, so I am familiar with the shipping delays from Poland. Its the combination of waiting over a year and its already been over a month since it was posted. I know patience is a virtue, but this has really been frustrating. All I can do at this point is wait, and so thats what I will do.

Well, to amend my earlier post.. candle finally answered my email. Seems he posted my 2 incognitos on the 2nd of Feb. That's awesome! However, using the tracking info he gave me it does give me a bit of generic info on the Poland side, but really nothing on the US side. So, I still dont know where my order is (except that it was posted a month ago). I guess I just have to find some patience (13 months and counting) and wait for it to arrive.

Here I go again... It has been a month since candle informed everyone that this run of incognito boards was ready to start shipping. Well, he did message me that they were. I see people in these forums that have received theirs (they were further down the list than I was), yet I havent had any news from candle as to when *mine* would be shipping. I tried emailing him to ask status two weeks ago, both to his AA email and the email I paypal'd the money to so long ago. No replies at all. No tracking info. No nothing. The frustration level is REALLY starting to build. So, candle can I PLEASE get a status update on when I can expect these boards to be heading my way??

Maybe disable SDX in the U1mb, and that would allow disks to boot.

Some kind of upgrade that would combine the features of Incognito, Ultimate, VBXE, Dual POKEY, all together in one. There have been many new upgrades designed and produced, but each has been designed to be installed seperately. My wishlist would include one upgrade that would contain all these things. As they sit right now, there are incompatibilities between them and a ton of hassle to install each and get them to work together. Hey, it IS a wishlist right?

I'm right there with ya! This is AWESOME news!

I feel ya. I'm not usually a complaining type, but as I said earlier, he DID require pre-payment. I have no doubt that they will be worth it when I finally receive them. Its just a frustrating long wait with no updates. He should at least tend to his mailbox so that he can be contacted, that would go a long way.

My bad. I have been posting to this thread since it started, and have gone from anticipation to receiving them to really getting frustrated with the seriously long wait for them to arrive. Every time I post asking for an update (I cant email candle, it wont go through), I get everybody telling me how great candle is and how his real-life is making it hard to keep his commitments. I can understand that he makes awesome products, and that he has real-world events. But, really, no status updates, the inability to contact him and the really really long wait is frustrating. I just want what I paid for. I have even had one of the 800's I originally bought these for sold, but then *I* couldnt deliver because I didnt have the upgrade that was supposed to be in it. Yes, he did tell me it would get here before "summer", but that was Summer 2014 (roughly 6 months after I paid), but that was over a year ago. I dont know what the latest delay is, but I still have no update as to when I will receive it.
