I’m number 45 at this point I don’t want to get back online at the end of the queue! So, close... In al seriousness are you still considering an option to allow us to move our order to another reseller and not lose our spot or is that off the table? I can’t believe how exited I still am for the Jag Gamedrive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing a lot on general back end stuff for WAY too long. New testing hardware, all the server side stuff required for the new firmware update system (which is entirely cross platform), etc... so it's been rather mundane. Massively useful, but mundane. Most recently (last month or so) I've done a LOAD of work on the new Lynx GD and finishing touches on the Jag GD. Now THAT has been fun. I really enjoy working with the old hardware and making (what I consider to be) cool stuff. The Lynx GD is way more advanced than anything else I've done in terms of the menu features, so I want to replicate a lot of that on the Jag GD as well. And finish the sodding CD support for the Jag... lol. But equally I'm looking forward to getting stuck into the 7800. So it's all good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe how exited I still am for the Jag Gamedrive! The plan is to make enough stock so there isnt any waiting and making the whole "list" stuff redundant. I'm just about there with the NGP on that front (slight delay in shipping thanks to mr. COVID), and aim to keep it up. Now (going forward after this last lot of JagGD's anyway) sales are being handled externally it gives me WAAAY more time to do other things. One of those thigns is to make a decent volume of stock... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a new lynx GD......Now how's about that discount for a fellow Brit who bought 3 of the old style!? ? ? ? Be great if you could outsource some of the Jag CD work and free you up for 7800! (look out here come the comments... ?) I for one will buy the 7800 GD and that'll then be all 4 systems that I've got from you! Take it easy.

CD support is something I'm keeping my fingers crossed for... my Jag Cd isn't aging well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Just logged in to RetroHQ...only 25 ahead of me in the preorder queue. So close, yet sounds like since I'm US-based my preorder won't get filled from RetroHQ. All good, happy to send some more business to AtariAge and glad that SainT was able to work out a distribution network that makes sense on his end and also keep him sane, which is most important of all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 I’ll most likely ship a few US orders too. I’ll see what I’ve got left over from the initial UK run. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... my pre-order (should be #2 right now) may or may not still be listed to my old US address... I have since moved to Sweden... Still, fingers crossed and all that... Happy on behalf of all Jaguar fans who will get theirs soon! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as many games as I can get away with! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I've received mine today which I'm really happy about. Annoyingly I spent ages getting an SD card together and now I can't find it!

GoldenGraham Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Can anyone confirm for us yet... what the differences are (apart from the cart label design) between the 'SD' cart that was sold to 80 people (including me) in the initial run... and the latest 'GD' cart that's being sold to people on a larger scale now. I'm particularly interested to know whether there are any hardware differences...? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real difference is in the boot loader, which doesn't effect the way the cart works, just how it handles firmware updates. I am providing firmware updates for both version. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i like it. quite frankly i pay less bringing in electronics from Europe than the USA... the US border fees are sometimes higher then the product costs.

What was your thinking behind the change in bootloader and firmware, if you don't mind me asking @SainT ? I'm also curious to know... do our SD/GD carts have no CD support whatsoever right now? Or do they currently have your 'unfinished' CD support which doesn't support all CD titles? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
