Greg2600 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 For anyone curious, that's the Stone Age Gamer Deluxe package. I had close to $100 in credit/coupons so used them on this. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jatari87 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I thought I might post/ask here before creating a new thread (1st I must introduce it with - I'm not not smart to some small degree, but there's at least 1 reason I like these old games - around about the time of Sega Genesis and N64 things just got foggy for me and I could no longer keep up anymore) - Well, I waited patiently and finally received one of these (Many THANKS!!!) and now while I await my microSD for it (tho I guess I could use one of the ones from my LynxGD) - Would someone be so kind as to tell me a best place to get the Roms for this? (I hope it's not taboo to even ask) As an aside to confirm - dumb question I hope - when I do get my microSD - Do I assume correctly that I download the updated firmware straight to the microSD? (I seem to recall reading in here somewhere that someone of my acumen need not concern themselves with that little port on the side. So, I'm guessing/assuming there will be no direct download to the cart going on here). Any help/info. will be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hastor Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) We can point you to the Atari ST conversions that are posted and discussed here: Atari ST Games Ported to the Jaguar - Atari Jaguar - AtariAge Forums Look toward the end of the first post for some download links. Some are locked to only work on this cart and Skunkboard, others are unlocked and can be used anywhere (emulators etc.). There's some other homebrew etc. out there freely distributed or perhaps sold as rom downloads as well. You can search the boards here for other projects etc. That's the only links we're gonna discuss. They are definitely work checking out though. I also recommend a rotary controller for Tempest 2000 and the ST conversion of Arkanoid. The mouse adapter is great for some ST games too. Also, yes, you place the firmware file in the root folder, let it update, then you can delete it. Edited April 16, 2021 by Hastor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkTR Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Any word on new stock? Been following this since 2017 but can't seem to buy one due to timezone differences. You guys are buying when I'm sleeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saboteur Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I too would love to get one, but it seems they can't be had in the UK. Which is a shame cos I live in the next county from retrohq ( which in the UK means < 30 miles ) ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be more stock in something like 2-3 weeks all going well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitari Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 All, I can confirm that the GD is incompatible with the scatbox and catbox using composite output, both NTSC and PAL Jags. It just hangs on the retro HQ logo. (not via the Jag CD unit). Have I missed a firmware update for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitari Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Thanks Saint, it was just that I wanted to use it via composite but not with Jaglink. Although, it is simultaneously plugged into the Jaglink output board. Any plans to amend this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no immediate plans to sort this, although I may try and fix this in the future. The easiest solution would be a Jaglink port on the GameDrive cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I sent out a good number of emails earlier this week informing people on the Jaguar GameDrive waiting list that they can now purchase a copy. If you're waiting and you're using a big email provider like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc., please check your spam folder to make sure any such emails were not deposited there. I am going to send out another batch of emails today, so those not responding (if they are still interested) are going to lose their place in line if I don't hear back from them! ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for my order. Was going to order some 7800 stuff as well, but figured I'd wait until some of the other random things I've ordered lately would show up, so I don't end up having to break down a bunch of packaging all at once again... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already built all the copies of Adventure II XE and Scramble. Just need to finish all the 2600 games and I will be shipping everything out en masse. Already have all (well, nearly all) the Jaguar pre-order games shipped, so I'm focused on getting everything else done, as well as non-pre-order games. I'm a bit buried right now, but hope to be completely dug out from the pit I'm in soon. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
