Pixelboy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 For those wondering, I have just placed an order for (hopefully) the final prototype of the rev F board. Once it has been tested and approved, we can start manufacturing. I suppose you will want to have that last revision tested by some people in Europe, France in particular? Unfortunately I still don't have a source for the damn nameplates, but I will get there... And the company that manufactured the "old" nameplates, are they still around? In any case, the good thing here is that you could add a small "F" on the next run of nameplates to indicate a rev-F SGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome news! very excited about getting my module especially once your Donkey Kong port comes out for it! Would be need if one could be seen at CGE this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Many says the nameplate was okay, and they could not see something was wrong. So for me, -I can live with it. Edit: Eduardo You could maybe mount another color for the LED (REV. F) Edited July 30, 2014 by ten-four Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be need if one could be seen at CGE this year Oh, I totally forgot about CGE!! I think it is too late now... oh well... About the nameplate, the problem is that the company that produced the first run don't like us anymore, since they had to print that thing so many times until they could get something acceptable. And being a perfectionist, I never really liked that nameplate. Problem is, I still haven't found a good printer for that. On the other hand, I don't want to delay the 2nd run again, so even if I ship modules without the nameplate, I want to keep the November release date. Once I find a printer that can do a top notch job, I will ship replacement nameplates to all buyers. That would be the worst case scenario. And it is clear that a 3rd and maybe 4th run will happen eventually, as I keep getting orders, with minimal advertising. I don't remember even contacting people in my customer list...

If this is the case, wouldn't it make sense for Team Pixelboy to showcase some SGM games, both past and upcoming? If Eduardo's up to it, I'm sure we can arrange something. I'm already releasing Joust for ColecoVision at CGE, in collaboration with Sean Kelly... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, in that case I might be able to get something ready in time. DK Jr would be awesome, but I already have DK, and Arkanoid would be playable too a little extra work... On the other hand, I don't know, this is Nintendo stuff, and Nintendo scares me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sega Ages Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I have now sent my PayPal payment, for a second run Super Game Module. Hi Eduardo Just wondering, did you receive my above quoted PayPal payment (I paid USD$105, which includes international shipping, to eduardo@opcodegames.com) which I sent you in May of this year? (I just haven't seen any confirmation email from you yet, and don't want to miss the 2nd run SGM. Thank you very much.) Best regards...

NIAD Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 On the other hand, I don't know, this is Nintendo stuff, and Nintendo scares me... I was just about to leave a message that you might want to keep DKA as low key as possible seeing that the Big N is always on the prowl and protecting their properties. After all the years of on-again, off-again and on-again development, it would be a shame to see the hammer brought down on what surely is the most anticipated homebrew game ever for the CV. Good luck with everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks for continuing to kick butt on this project opcode! You are literally advancing and extending the future of Coleco games. I can't imagine the amount of personal sacrifice a project this big entails. Even if I don't buy one right away I appreciate you and the others who keep this moving!

youki Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah, after what happened with Princess Rescue last year, you're right to be scared... I have the solution , He could change a little bit the graphism. Put Gargamel instead of Donkey Kong , a Smurf instead of Mario , and some Azrael in place of Fire ball.... No more problem with Nintendo.... but he could get smurfed by peyo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Peyo is just as bad as the Big N, if not worse, when it comes to protecting their properties. Although a graphics hack of the completed DKA such as you mention would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
