Now you're teasing us even more :x

Anymore and I'm going to have a temper tandrum like my 1 year old on the floor until I get my copy of this cart :shock:

Hope you can make it Brian (and your cart :lol: ) on Nov 10th at the Retro Party?

Man this is like showing a man who has been deserted on a island for 5 years a picture of a t bone steak! Or better yet, letting him smell one cooking on the grill but not letting him have a bite!

Or like having a married man sit in "sniffer's row" at a peeler bar (same effect as the steak would have with danggling a juicy piece of meat to a starving man and the only thing he could do is salavate) :lol:

I'm colour photocopying both sides of the proto board tonight and gluing it onto a piece of cardboard and when the right moment arrises....I'll do the switch :wink:

I'm guessing a lot of 30 or 40 something guys will revert to 10 year old mode on Christmas morning.

Edit: My girlfriend walked by as I watching the video (which is great, BTW) and commented that it was bad enough that I play 25 year old video games but that watching videos of someone else playing 25 year old video games was just weird.
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

Looks great Brian! NBLA and yourself have done an excellent job. Any ideas when it will be available? what step are you at right now?

NBLA000 deserves the credit.

I just put hardware together.

He has added a ton of really great ideas, fixes for games, categorization, compatibility for a bunch of memory settings, etc.

Right now, 2nd prototype board is completed. Third one is under construction. Next will be final schematic and PCB run.

I would like to have PCBs ready for mid to late November.

...and remember to let me know the size of the final plastic case you choose (so I can re-design the label graphics). Thanks! :D

Nbla000 and me are working on the last (?) bonus item. Brand new code written tonight. Hopefully the software can be finalized by the weekend.
