108 Stars Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I always find it fascinating how specifically on AA, whenever someone says "this is not a pre-order thread, please don't ask to have your names put on a list" 75% of all posts will inevitably be people stating they want one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadPricey Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I always find it fascinating how specifically on AA, whenever someone says "this is not a pre-order thread, please don't ask to have your names put on a list" 75% of all posts will inevitably be people stating they want one. To be fair I think it gives the creator some idea of numbers, even if it's not a pre-order thread ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Makes it very noisy -- if you want to find out what I've been doing (about 4 pages worth probably) you have to sift through 20+ pages. Its encouraging for me, though, so swings and roundabouts... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Stars Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 That's why I had to ask what the latest news was; too much to dig through a 22 page thread with 5 pages of actual information. I know people mean well, but it is really confusing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I've been subscribed to this thread since the start and when I get a notice I check to see if an actual preorder thread is up and it's generally just filled with "I'd buy this!" "put me on the list too!!" Tons of noise on an otherwise really interesting thread. With that said.. the best way to get info is to subscribe and open it every time there is a reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said.. the best way to get info is to subscribe and open it every time there is a reply Yep, it's the same with the Wyvern Tales thread. These are the two most anticipated projects right now for sure. Really looking forward to both of them (aka "put me down for one too" ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krip316 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) So, now, not only do we have to sift through requests, we have to sift through people complaining about people making requests just to get to the important info??? How'd that work out for you guys??? Edited December 22, 2015 by Krip316 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripp Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Well, it's done the way it went Perhaps next time another thread for those interested (no matter if the project goes through or not). Case solved? This one is a mess, but hey - that's reminds me of life in many cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I think the biggest difference between pre-order and this noisy page is when you pre-order you might be expected to put up some money in advance. This creator isn't taking money yet but maybe a poll would help? ie "are you planning to get this" with yes, no, and maybe. Not everyone would vote but the number of yes and maybe might give an idea how many may be needed to satisfy the initial run. I do hope this comes out soon. I am a few Lynx games short of a complete production lot and some of those games can reach $100+ easy. I could sell off the games that have public ROM available and keep those that aren't dumped or otherwise may not work like Zaku (not released) and Eye of the Beholder (unusual memory support, may not work on flash cart) not to mention carrying around a case with 80 games that can take a while to go through to find a desired game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) I'll start getting some units made up after Xmas. I'm not too fussed about numbers as yet as I'll just be building a few at a time Initially. Once I'm happy with everything i'll most likely look into getting a batch of these made by a fab house. I don't want to start taking part payments or anything for preorders as this is all just "fun" for me, and I wouldn't want anything to end up going sour if there were any issues (I'm aware the original Candle LCD thread went a bit that way). As I think I said before, any money I make fom these will just go into funding more of the same. A Jaguar cartridge is probably going to be the next project.

Rave Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 OMG SainT if you did a Jaguar cart, that would be truly truly amazing! I'll even send you a Jag to experiment with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 I have a Jag, and have the cart mostly planned out already (actually did it before the Lynx one but never got around to finishing it). In theory, especially given the experience I have gained from the Lynx cart, it should be a much quicker job... But I won't get distracted with that until the Lynx carts are sorted. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GadgetUK Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I wonder if its worth a poll on whether you want one, and how many you want? Might help SainT understand the demand for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johannesmutlu Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 A happy 2016 everybody. Well i hope that those few produced prototype lynx sd cards will be a success sothat orders can be taken soon as possible,offcourse i suppose that if orders will be taken,that we will get an email with links to the coresponding site to place an order on it. Now about the jag sd card, i tout it already does exist, so i wonder if it make sense to redevelope a new one ,unless it can support cd jag games,as an alternative for those rare jag cd addons wich are also very prone to damage overtimes. But if i will ever get a lynx sd card and find out that it really will just work on any lynx handheld system with NO MOD,i will take off my head out of amezement. Atari age members Just google ,diary Of an atari lynx developer,, to find out why am so amezed(about this sd card)and you will read all the ins & outs of the lynx to so you can read anything about how the cartride system works in it's own unique way with it's own limitations.

Rick Dangerous Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yes! Eagerly anticipating the Lynx SD cart. My #1 game that I want to play is Luchenstein 3d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is no SD-card solution for the Jaguar. There is the SkunkBoard but that does hold only two cart images and when you want to load it with another game, you must re-flash it via a PC. Thus not usable to store your whole collection on. And then you have the JagCF card that would store cart images on CF-cards but that one is already more years in development than I can remember and is still not finished.

moondelight61 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Is it released as of yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yes, we all bought 5 each and there's no stock left - ever! JK - if you go back a page you will see that it hasn't been released yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
