opcode Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 PCB is mostly done. Will keep tweaking a bit more and double check everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredlineboss Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Glad to see this project is moving along - pre-ordered a SGM. -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I just subscribed and am in for one SGM and one SDK. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 There is indeed a lot of talent here, and that makes for solid competition as well. I can't promise lightning speed, but I'll see what I can come up with Eduardo! Cheers, Greg Thanks! BTW, I am almost there with the SGM PCB. I think we will have a beta candidate by next week. And in case you want a Super Game Module, make sure you subscribe to the pre-order list here: http://www.opcodegam...ts/?p=subscribe Here's a quick mockup. Nothing spectacular, but a nice start. Open to any suggestions/direction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open to any suggestions/direction! Super cool. However I would replace "Expansion Module #3" with "Super Game Module", since the EM #3 actually exists and it is the ADAM. I would also put some more screenshots under the COLECOVISION logo, increase the SGM picture, and flip the metal logo plate around (though for mockup purposes that is of course irrelevant) . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Added those touches. Let's see the current mockup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten-four Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I like a box with a window, just like those Yurkie made for his Smurf Controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I am almost there with the PCB. Just fine tuning it to death. It looks beautiful already. It has also been decided that the SGM will have it's own box, albeit at an extra $10. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that if history repeats itself that if you get me the SGM and Donkey Kong that those two will not see their respective boxes for months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opcode Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Super good news: I got the second autodialer today and it is finally going to the designer to have the 3D model done. He said 2 weeks, so I believe that by mid March we should have the first (and super expensive) prototype of the final case. I hope to have the first prototype of the final PCB by the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks Eduardo, you bringing certain new life into our colecovisions. It will be interesting to see the prototype and the related box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edweird13 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Man I have been watching this for a long time. could you add SIO capability like the XM project for the 7800 will have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as I understood, you would be providing the mock-ups, Dale was going to create the final designs. And of course I will find a way to compensate you for your work.

I'm just happy to contribute to this monumental piece of history! Those mock-ups are just compressed JPGs, but I have actually done everything in 600 dpi Photoshop files. So I'd hate to think he is re-creating all of the detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opcode Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 how can i preorder? still waiting for my 4 carts order... Please go to the subscribe page: http://opcodegames.com/lists/?p=subscribe About your order, I am assuming you are the guy from Argentine, right? If so, your order was shipped a couple of weeks ago. I have never sent anything to Argentina before, so I have no idea how long it usually takes, if there may be delays due to customs, etc. So let's please wait a couple more weeks, and if you don't receive the games until there I can send you a replacement, or a refund, whatever is better for you.

ColecoDan Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The link does not work, at least from an ipad2 works fine on IE, maybe it is not compatible with Safari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
