For comparison, I paid just $25 for 32X flash cart from AliExpress. If you manage to find a Jaguar, of if someone can help you to get one. I have one spare skunkboard I can send to you (I received it the same week than the Jag GD, so I do not have real use of it, apart in convention where I prefer to use a skunk than a Jag GD - but this is not a big deal). Only problem is that I don't know the status of French post to Russia. I know Delivengo service (which I use for business) no more accept sending to Russia, and there are some restrictions on type of goods to export (not sure Atari Jaguar related ones are concerned, but as it depends on type of goods). So maybe it would need some time to let the situation become normal again. Edited February 8, 2023 by Fadest 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XProger Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Enough vodka plus 550 EUR and now I own an Atari Jaguar with a custom cartridge with 128 megs of storage and bank switching by 4 megs. So OpenLara or wipEout should fit perfectly. This cartridge is not as good for development as the skunk, but enough for start and the final build (stickers are ready! :). Now I'm digging through the documentation and SDKs demos, but it's unlikely that I'll be able to dive into Jag development before the summer. Fadest thank you! If possible, keep it for a while until I get to the active phase of development and optimization. I'll look for payment and delivery methods. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks you, but I have nothing to do with this Jaguar @XProger I am keeping the skunk for you (it is on my shelf). Payment is easy as it is free for you. Consider it as a payment for your future work on Jaguar. Delivery is another problem though, as it seems it is not possible to send goods to Russia right now (I must check again, but I k,ow for sure Delivengo does not allow it asthey open a pop up window each time I connect, and I had to connect many times in the past days for GB Corp kickstarter postage) 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I could not find any notification about it on the German DHL page. So obviously DHL France and DHL Germany have different rules currently? (Or the Germans just missed to put it on their homepage...?) I would guess there are delivery companies that send to Russia, but maybe there's no way but asking every single one.

German Post just says, no insurance for goods to Ukrania due to war and that there are customs problems with good _from_ Russia due to declarations in Cyrillic. But sending electronics may fall under export restrictions. So you need to find someone in a country that still does deny the war (like India) to forward it for you.

Jones007 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Homebrew itself is a grey-zone, afaik. Because it means hacking / accessing a closed system that was never meant to be accessed by non-official-devs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerosquare Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 To make things clearer: the site that was linked mentioned using the cartridge to make copies of homebrews, and specifically mentioned one (or several, I didn't read the details) which is only available as a physical cartridge sold by the developer. It also had download links for commercial and homebrew ROMs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to project hate, no matter how you label it for justification, on a member of AA because he is living in St. Peterburg. Ok? Thanks.
