Curt Vendel Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Just wanted to check in with everyone, say hi and let everyone know, things are still progressing along with the XM's ... most of you saw it was demo'ing at Too Many Games last month and it had a nice selection of XM titles showing off the features of the XM's... Things are progressing forward, going a nice and steady, once something big to announce is ready I'll make a more substantial update, but just wanted to let everyone know that things are moving along.

NightSprinter Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You've been through hell and beyond, man. You have a level of dedication that goes FAR BEYOND hardcore. Had I a hat, I'd take it off in appreciation for what you've done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Just shipped an XM testing unit to Perry (TEP392) for him to test his games on real hardware and then to Bob (Pacmanplus) to test his games. A demonstration XM unit is going to Albert of Atariage so he can bring to the Portland Retro Game Expo next month. So the developers are getting to kick the tires and make sure their games are working on real hardware. Will be getting feedback and proceed with any changes or modifications to the design. Thanks, Curt 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Azure Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Good to see we're on track to support the Portland RGE. http://allevents.in/Portland/2013-Portland-Retro-Gaming-Expo/168034153350142 Does anyone know where the RAM is resident in the XM?

Blue Azure Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Supa. Wow, that's finally adequate RAM for this machine. So this means I could probably run up to Portland with my boards enabled for XM and hand them to Albert for test. We'll see if I have time in my October schedule, because I already know September won't work. Will you and/or Bob be there?
