CPUWIZ Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 1 minute ago, John Stamos Mullet said: I guess my point was: why even mention it if you don't really want to talk about it? Hinting about it, and making inside jokes makes it seem like there is only a special club of people who are allowed to know - which is kinda shitty for everyone not on the inside. Because half of them are engineers, who are not going to steal my ideas and instead help with suggestions and ideas. I guess I shouldn't say anything anymore, about possible hardware enhancements, like my MP3 playback, directly into the 7800, or shit like my Alexa/IR control box. Instead of bitching and moaning, for someone else to do something, I do shit myself. But all the entitlement attitude has seriously turned me off, from announcing something for the masses. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about entitlement with the 7800 crowd. It's been over a decade since there was a viable SD cart option in production, with no real prospects in sight, and the XM is also a decade past it's release date with no info. If anything this particular micro-niche of Atari fans seem unendingly patient. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Well, if it's any help to @CPUWIZ and his project, I am an engineer (at least I used to be, in my prior career a long time ago ...) Unfortunately I'm not a software engineer or an electrical engineer. Oh, well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bet, I really need to send you the old one first. I have a couple made up, just holding them, for the new extension. But you are clearly one of the people that need one. No dual POKEY though.

Laner Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Well, whatever it is, I'm certainly interested. Sold my Cuttle Cart several years ago, assuming there would be a better solution available eventually. Big mistake ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I will not make a SD cartridge, the 7800 is a big bitch. I am also a big fan of combining the old with new, instead of replacing the old. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was someone, other than myself, maybe, but Shawn can say whatever he wants to me (I've known him for a very long time, most people take him completely the wrong way). Fun to see Atari do it with other peoples money though.

Fun to see Atari do it with other peoples money though. Except "None of your business", is replaced with "Wait for the next announcement!". Oh definitely! That shit is an unmitigated disaster of empty hype. Im not trying to criticize your work by any means. And I totally get why you're guarded with it. This stuff takes time and energy and money that never seems to enough. Answering a million questions on top of that sucks all the enthusiasm right out of it. I just find the mostly jokey, but also sorta serious olde boys club stuff to be offputting in an "I'm not welcome here unless I know the secret handshake, and own an original, MIB copy of Chase the Chuckwagon to prove my worth." i get that fetish retro collections and old school video game electrical engineering skills are a special club, but this is a public forum. Teasing the regular users with inside jokes, and then being standoffish when they ask what it's about is a bit disheartening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Do you write to movie studios, when they release teaser's for their movies, and demand what the rest of the plot is?

CPUWIZ Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 This is what shit looks like, when I don't really have off the shelf solutions. You have another thing to bitch about now, because of how much is actually going on in that picture, but it is really just a poster, for the next Godzilla movie. I am sure someone will ask me, if Godzilla will have children this time and if I don't tell, I suck. Just like all the people that walked around with the secrets of Game Of Thrones for 6 months. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
