108 Stars Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Worse than worst case: only a single run of XMs is made, and homebrewers abandon work for the system in favor of the larger audience that have only stock 7800s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGemini Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 More likely realistic case: CPUWIZ figures out how to integrate the high score cart feature into his existing super board, thus negating the XM altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Now that smooth scrolling assist was dropped there are no XM features. It is all tech that can be included in the game cart, and the high score saving thru a high score open ended cart. The great thing is buying RAM, POKEY sound and Yamaha sound once, instead of adding that cost to each and every cart. Also great is carts without a POKEY, programmed with POKEY data, can work stand-alone with TIA sound, and on the XM with POKEY sound. I'll be in Vegas at this project's 3 year 46 month time, and I'll get those odds for you Brian O My guess is 100% it will be released, and continue to be available because so much parts stock has already been bought. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Sounds good Just don't make us wait 3.5 years for DK!!! I'd call DK nearly finished (except for some difficulty increases), but that also is waiting on delayed hardware - Melody boards based off Harmony Encore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. Let me know if you need me to do any additional play testing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600 Forever Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 waiting on delayed hardware - Melody boards based off Harmony Encore. If you look at batari's original "Encore" thread, he stated that there will be no such thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 My Bob Collection cart does not play Space Invaders OR Moon Cresta. Same behavior as reported by others. Scramble is nice with the scroll edges masked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 How am I a drooling moron, :? Just by your damn petty words??You stated a fact about Curt's 7800 XM hardware, while quoting a post about batari's Encore tech, which is funny because it does not make sense - The Harmony doesn't have a Yamaha sound chip.So you chose reply, instead of just a blank post. Let the jokesters joke! All of us here are quite sad to have this project take so long, if we didn't joke we would probably riot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian O Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Weekly status reports on the XM would probably go a long way towards keeping people from getting angry and speculating. Also, setting target release dates and not delivering doesn't help instill confidence. People paid money and have the right to know where things stand. Just my two cents. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Yeah.....I'd like to go ahead and pre order one of these. Put me on the list brah!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'd settle for monthly status reports, or even quarterly at this point. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
