Also working on having a larger, Jaguar-size game manual printed for the boxed version. ..Al Will that be AA only or will that also be available from / shared with the European distributor? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These boxes were printed for AtariAge distribution of the Jaguar GameDrive, same will be true of the manual when that's completed (it'll basically be a larger version of the same manual, but at the typical Jaguar manual size of 4.5" x 6.5"). And a cartridge tray will be included, of course. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we see where we are on the list? I always forget or am confused on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdownita Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Haven't asked in quite some time, @Albert any chance any of the AA units would make it by Xmas? Not that I think I'm that high up in the list, just asking ..... and obviously so happy Saint made it through, it's been 4.5Y another few months won't really make it or break it so to speak I like the optimism of the first post: "it could well take another 6-12 months depending on ..." .... we can add life, health, shit and covid in no particular order.

SainT Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 Good timing, was just updating Al now! The fab is saying they should be getting the boards out to me the end of this week / beginning of next. I will be able to turn it around quickly once I have them, so I'm very much hoping there will be a load going out before xmas. Fingers crossed, lots out of my hands and waiting currently. The next (larger) batch will follow in January. I'm curious to know how long it is since I started this project now! September 2017 seems to be the earliest commit I can see, so that will be when development actually started. I started thinking about the Jaguar while finishing off the original Lynx cart, but then decided to do the NeoGeo Pocket before the Jag to familiarise myself with the Lattice CPLD's before taking on a larger project. It's amazing how time just passes. ? 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The box looks awesome. I'm so happy that this has all been coming together to become a reality. I've been loving my Jaguar GD along with all of my other products from Retro HQ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjedavison Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I'm joining the Jaguar family this Christmas and am looking forward to this becoming available.
