I am definitely interested fella so put my name down.

Yeah, I'd be interested too.

Nice one.

This sounds excellent!

..

Puka.

Can I purchase and get the stuff sent direct to you?

EPROM's and donor cart are now on their way to Jeff in Texas.  Time for a bit of cable assembly!

Hi,

I know what you mean, but why not make a re-run of the skunkboard 3 last time I saw someone making it, it could be done for $80.00 or less.
Then you have USB upload, flash 8mb

I know there is a demand for such carts, I did use BJL without you cart solution before (modded OS) inside the jaguar I have a few modded overhere but my experience is that it's much slower then the skunkboard, only can download stuff in main ram and was not always reliable I had a modified bjl load to get it working then at the time op my developers laptop (but that one is dead now).

..

Hi redesign yes it on my todo list I just ordered a 128megabyte flas cart for 8-bit atari for less thrn 60.00usd a jaguar cart can not be much more expensive only the case maybe but when you put it into an old cart it could be cheap

Right, i need to get this done..

Once i have a donor cart i will be intouch Jeff.

If only I had a PC with a parallel port

Now that does sound very interesting!

Nice on fella. So I need to get mine sorted now things are settled again.

Hi,

I got myself a deal on a HP T5730 it will arrive today, great tip never tought of that as dev pc, my old laptop did burnout so I was looking for a small replacement.

When people are interested I can check if this person has some more to sell, it did cost me 45 euro so seems reasonable but I didn't need a keyboad/mouse have some laying around here.

Just watch it on the memory, it really doesnt have a lot of hard drive space

It got 1gb of ram that's enough and flash is 44 pin ide onboard thiscan be upgraded by ssd/hdd and it has lots of usb ports to connect a big usb stick for storage

..

What's with the original poster?

Hmmm. . . .  Well Rush and Laird were good friends so it would appear he's taking his side. Unfortunate 

Well.  I guess nothing is lost.

My experience in life is that if you treat everyone equally and fairly people with issues eventually leave of their own volition to seek more caustic environments.

Not a comment on "Gone" really: just the O.P.

I don't want to be in between any fights but I don't understand why this is happening I didn't see a reason to leave a forum like this.

Hope Rush still will be having a good time with his Jaguar...

I might be being a bit dull, but wtf is going on here. First Laird leaves and takes all his reviews with him, then all of Jeff's posts are ...

Now that I think of it.  The O.P. blanking his replies could simply mean he couldn't deliver on his project.  The only cost effective dev solution that may actually come out is from this guy:

He's been querying for interest in a new Skunkboard run and received it in vast amounts

To be fair to Jeff, I have one of those that he made for me. Its simply just a BJL in a cart to save permanently modding the Jag

Hi,

I don't know why this hardware is the reason he left. Skunkboard has been around sometime and its a good thing someone does a rerun for a decent price.

Did rush invest lots of $$$ to make some boards that people ordered and not wanted anymore ? Would be strange ... I thought he was reusing old carts with a new rom on it ofcourse he should have some costs but I can't imagine he has more the 200 boards ordered like the people who build the skunkboard.

The bjl solution is nice, but bjl is little outdated and didn't work very well for some people like me, thats why I got and Alpine and later skunk. I had lots of transmission faults on bjl so loading some code needed to be done 3 to 4 times before it did work. I had this with code bigger then 1MB

But can you post a picture of the cartridge and inside of the cartridge ?

Sure thing. I'll dig it out when I have 5 mins. You are correct - I ordered a bunch of boards from B & C and donated the rest to Jeff, who desoldered the original EPROM's and replaced them with some new 27c160's with the BJL bootcode

I have no idea why Jeff left (assuming he has) but i know one thing, i am thankful for meeting the guy. Much respect to him and his future endeavours.

He can deliver, he just doesn't care to. All of the projects we have are real and can be finished or continued. He is very busy in the real world with a new home, new job, and a kid on the way. And I asked that we both take a few months off, simply because my personal life has taken a turn financially and very busy as well.

That being said, I think he removed his posts (based on our previous phone conversation) because he is just tired of forums and the petty drama. He is also mildly offended about certain posts being edited or omitted. And he would rather share any dev info on a personal site. A place where his freedom of speech goes unhindered. Kieren was just another excuse to be disappointed in how things are handled on any forum that he frequents. Granted Kieren seems to have trouble follow him wherever he goes. I firmly believe that his openness to the public, and unwavering confidence when it comes to sticking up for himself or others is what makes him a target. (Well that and the fact that every forum is infested with fanboys of, shill accounts of, members of, and junior members of reboot.)

I'm sure this post will be edited or omitted to spare everyones "innocent and virgin" eyes. But that is part of the same sad problem. Its like pre-crime. Stop censoring posts! Wait and see if it becomes a problem to others. Don't assume.

Kieren will be missed both here, and any other forums. I cant speak for Jeff or others if they are staying or going. Myself, I will probably just post occasionally or lurk. But my contributions are (as agreed with my partner Jeff) going to be reserved for a yet-to-be-named personal site. In case anything personal or copy written is abused by others we will have more control over its usage and removal.

Thanks for that input fella, again i respect you input and no it wont be edited..

We run the site as best we can, without wars with other forums fella, if a post needs editing then we speak with that member in question..

Again i repect your opinion.

TRYING to paint a picture of "people with issues" and "seeking caustic environments".

Revisionist history doesnt work well and never did. Shawn explained why i left, and i left another post here on RVG explaining it exclusively which you tried to paint as a rage-quite somehow. I posted my grievances and explained my reasons for leaving but apparently you either dont like my reasons or don't read... you just assume and spread mis-information like the rest but then say its your "own opinion" yet try to keep pushing it. Just like the digs seen here against other users you've done recently.

 Ive seen you do this many a time through Atari age as well as here and even OUYA forums and wherever you have signed up unfortunately (many other forums that i happened to have been on as well unfortunately)

As for the cost effective BJL cart, i did deliver, avick has a copy in his hands...He was the only one that responding at the time with real interest about this project and this happened quite a while ago.

My guess is you continue to make digs at people because you are a bit dissapointed in yourself that you're lacking in an area severely where you want to accel? (ie making games...) Angry so you try to point the frustration and anger to someone else... Also its quite a classic sign to see someone immediately default to insults and bashing and have a majority of their interaction be that, Something you seem to do just about every forum your on it seems within every single post. Quick search on any of these forums shows you trying to make digs and troll away.

Your name is all too fitting, you might want to consider taking some meds seriously.

Anyway,  im out guys. As i said in a few other threads, you'll see my projects posted around the internet elsewhere if you're looking for them. Take care guys. Zaipy no hard feelings, its been real, See ya around guys!


Mods, please feel free to lock this thread, im sure the trolls wil try to spiral it out of control.

Can't say i agree with the tone of the post Jeff but you are angered and i can understand how your passion comes across..

Loon has done nowt wrong from our point of view and i feel we all comprehend the written word very differently.

Good luck in the future, RVG will always look to support your work so see you around fella.

Guys, please settle down.  Personal attacks do not help anyone and they are also against forum rules (Forum Rules (//http)).  These are rules everyone who joins a forum agrees to abide with.  I realize there is anger involved but it always helps to take a step back and think a bit before posting something out of anger. 

Not going to lie, when you start going on about every forum being the same and then talk about how you have problems with every Forum then at some point yoiu have to stop and ask yourself, is it actually the forums or is it you.

Laird was a decent guy, but his atari goggles just did not allow him to see things evenly sometimes. I will actually miss him.

Rush, not so much. not surprised at his behaviour TBH,

Everyone has opinions, and not everyone will get along so i guess we need to draw a line in the sand and for the sake of RVG i think its time to move on.
