atari181 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I hope he considers a public plea here at AA for updated addresses from preorder folk. I've moved twice since my preorder and don't do Facebook. Also, Venkman, thank you for relaying the update from Facebook to this thread. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.it may be worth joining Facebook just to ensure you can contact him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 What day was this project officially announced? Sometime in 2010? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact even if someone offered me thousands of dollars, I wouldn't join. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tep392 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 So is it really done Tep392 ? I don't know what testing Curt may have done, but I don't think any test units have been shipped. I can't imagine he would be shipping final units until some test units have been thoroughly tested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I can not wait for my XM!! As long as its bug free.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I can not wait for my XM!! As long as its bug free.. This seems to be the fundamental problem. It is impossible to make it bug free because of the nuances with the various 7800 consoles out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Well, Curt posted an update. He’s building XM’s, he says. Posted an hour or so ago in the XM Facebook Group: 6 units that will go to some testers I'm sure. That has been said and done before so it's hard to put any stock in that moving the process forward as far as getting the XM's to the masses here on AtariAge that have paid for them. It could happen though. Speaking of which, AtariAge members make up the majority (if not nearly all) of pre-orders so why is this half assed, less than promised update being posted to facebook and not AtariAge? That is unacceptable. When you soil the bed you are responsible to clean it up. Not just hide in a closet and pretend it doesn't smell like shit. We where told to expect both pictures and video of the XM here on AtariAge not some quick text message posted to his post regulated facepalm page 3 months later (over 8 years really but who is counting right?). We all deserve better and more than this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The only reason I would like to see Curt on here is because he has taken lots of flak on here and when he has something positive to bring us I would like to say thank you directly(well thru text)to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8th lutz Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Well congrats to those who have paid for one, but I still don't see what's so special about it? This is something that actually help Albert out in terms of Super Circus Atariage and Brentley Bear's Crystal Quest. Albert has a tough time getting Pokey Sound chip for putting them into game cartridges due to supply. The problem is caused by Ballblazer and Commando being the only 2 7800 games with a pokey sound chip. I'm sure Froggie has similar problems since it needs a pokey sound chip as a homebrew game. The XM having the Pokey Soundchip built in actually would eliminate the need of adding a Pokey Sound chip in a game cartridge. That would lower the cost of a 7800 cartridge a little bit on Super Circus Atariage and Brentley Bear's Crystal Quest and also would influence programmers to make more games with a Pokey Sound chip. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+eebuckeye Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Would the game need to be rewritten to take advantage of the XM pokey? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Would the game need to be rewritten to take advantage of the XM pokey? The current homebrews will detect the XM and use it's POKEY automagically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
