Gunstar Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Well, there have been more than 75 replies to this thread, and without going through them all, assuming each is someone saying they want one, plus the 25 to start, it looks like this production will happen. Even if there are replies that aren't stating they want one, like this one, it's real close! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's great isnt it. I neverthought I'd get my hands on one of these. I'm really excited! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I highly doubt there is 100 developers currently, so my guess is that a great part of orders will be speculative buyers that will try to eBay them. not necessarily, many, like myself, actually want them to load up betas and hacks like Doom 2. I had to sell my last one off because I had bills to pay, not to speculate, though I obviously tried to make a profit, because I needed it for bills. But if I can help it, I want one to buy and keep as long as I have a Jaguar (which I hope is the rest of my life). My intention was never to sell before, or to speculate, but sometimes life happens and we have no choice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a developer, but would just like one to load up betas and other demos without having to burn a cd and roll the dice on my jag cd having a good day.

Gunstar Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 lots of betas require a cartridge anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenegg Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I'm in for one two! EDIT: I'll take 2, since these don't come up often I want a backup should anything happen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Well, let's hope he comes back with how to actually order one... no return since the initial post..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Well, let's hope he comes back with how to actually order one... no return since the initial post..... There's no reason to come back and post here so soon. He clearly stated a cut off date of March 23rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if there are replies that aren't stating they want one, like this one, it's real close! Total order as of reply #86 is about 61. One order for 4 and several for 2. But that is just for AA. Willyvmm did say he was posting in several places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I wish people wouldn't say things like 'maybe'. This is a declare list. Declaration means you're in or out. It makes me think these people are not taking this seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umberto Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I want please my other one is dead I just realized I cant speak English, but I definitely want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So what's the reason why these die? Is it due to components being exposed.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umberto Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So what's the reason why these die? Is it due to components being exposed.? I definitely recommend getting an empty cartridge and casing it, decreases your risk of static damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think I read that there's something you have to remove to make it fit into an empty cart shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think I read that there's something you have to remove to make it fit into an empty cart shell? Those pesky jtag pins and (ymmv) the regular-sized USB sockets that (afaik) have never been used for anything more than a handy backup if the mini USB snapped off. Protecting the cable from pulling on the mini USB socket is the most important thing from experience, it's not really the kind of port you should be fiddling with too often, more like an internal component you attach once and forget about it. I'm sure most people have a dupe Cybermorph or something else common to sacrifice to enable safe skunk use :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Ok...thanks Sh3, well I am totally unfamiliar with boards inside shells for the Jag per se. Should I obtain an empty shell and then just see how I go once the skunk arrives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I obtain an empty shell and then just see how I go once the skunk arrives? Do you have a dremel or something similar? If not, I could quickly hack at a jag shell for you, but let's wait until the skunks arrive and see what we're dealing with :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Ah great sh3 sounds good. Thanks. ( don't have a dremmel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SabertoothRetro Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I'm in for one. Always could use a back-up. What I really want though is a jag multicart a la harmony or atarimax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most people have a dupe Cybermorph or something else common to sacrifice to enable safe skunk use :0) I put mine in a case with the USB ports intact, I also ground out the case on the back so the JTAG pins didn't have to come off... I also got a couple empty cases from Best so I didn't have to sacrifice anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my rev 2 skunks having pretty long pins sticking out and drilling holes for the first ones and simply clipping them down with others. Never liked the idea of putting pressure on those large USB sockets without cutting out holes... it does "fit" but not nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I hacked a fat-T shape out of the back of a spare CyberMorph shell, plus a very small piece out of the top-rib of the front half. Seems to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
