Jinks Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 What's happened with the existing one?I have it plugged in my 7800 playing rad games man. Only the sd card comes out now and then for more romz... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett1954 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 What's happened with the existing one? If you are talking about the Concerto, we have not heard from Fred at all this year. The few of us that have the beta units have varying success with the cart. I have two 7800s and one one will not play anything without crashing, freezing or other problems. My second unit plays about 80-90 % of games. neither of them work with the Pokey installed, even with my good unit, With a Pokey install on Concerto, It causes the game load to freeze. His last communication with us is he was having personal problems and said he would work on Concerto this year. Are you still considering making an SD cart for 7800?. I think if you can get a working one out there soon there will be a market for it. I would buy it. Right how we are all hoping for a firmware update or a hardware solution as to why it does not work on all of our 7800's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Oh that's why I haven't "seen" him around or had my PM returned... hope all is okay with Fred. Wasn't aware of any probs he might be having. Hope things get better and return to normal for him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SainT Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Thanks for the update -- I did have a look but couldn't see anything new, which sounds about right. The 7800 is on my list after the Jaguar. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine works with Pokey, but every single 7800 ROM I try gets corrupted when loading into memory.My Pokey chip is in a safe place, but SainT, if you think you can do better, please have a go at it.

SainT Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'm sure there are good reasons why things have not been smooth going for the Converto, but with my normal gung-ho attitude to the world, I don't see why I couldn't come up with something which works properly. I'm sure I'll get to it eventually. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I am ok with waiting up to two years for a fix. I am happy enough on how it works right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well the rest of us can't even buy it! Once the fix is made to the original carts sold I think the plan is to make many more to sell. That is the assumption I am making anyways. I dont think he wanted to sell 200 sd carts that have various issues. If all of us chillax he will come around. I hope his life issues are turning around for the better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitari Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just noticed this SainT; I'm up for this as I'm wanting a 7800 SD solution anyway. Would you be working on this after the Jag one or alongside? I can highly recommend SainT's lynx card work and I'm looking forward his Neo Geo Pocket Color SD release too!

I'd be doing this after the Jag, which I have started making progress with again now that I'm waiting on final PCB's to test the NeoGeo Pocket. I have some other projects in mind also, so which order they happen in I'm not sure. Either way, the more things I have stacked up for the future the better! So if anyone has any requests, please do say... I quite like the idea of a replacement backlit screen for the NeoGeo Pocket too, but I'm not sure how feasible that is. That's something else I'll look into one day... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Heh. I'll bet there are some people here so pathetically into it that they have BOTH. Uuuummm that would be me. And I would probably end up buying bot SD Projects. Considering I already bought a Mateo's 16 in 1 to get me by until until a working SD Cart is released. I know I am not the same as everyone but I have already supported competing products and I would do it again in this case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82-T/A Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hell yes I would! I bought a Cuttle Cart 2 back in the day for like $80 bucks, and then joked that the only way I was going to sell it was for $500 bucks... and wouldn't you know, I got a PM offering $500 bucks. So I sold it, so now I need another one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Well I've got a spare CC2 here if you've got a spare $500 hah hah... (seriously though, I do have a spare one, and probably would sell it for the right price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often buy competing as well, which makes no sense for me, but does for the homebrewers! If Batari's were put on sale in completed form with label, I'd buy it 5 minutes ago. Doesn't seem imminent so I'm rooting for SainT! I've been waiting YEARS for this, since the CC2 ended production before I knew it even existed.
