Are you still planning on offering a JP21 version at some point?

I'm working on both versions. Well, I admit I didn't work on it last month due to real life things but I plan to continue it this weekend.
What's left prior to updated PCB design is couple of small design decisions.

Good to hear you are making progress again. I can't wait to see you post up that they are available again. Have you come to a decision as to how you will be taking orders and such yet? I don't blame you for wanting to get that worked out to be easier on you at all. Thanks again for continuing this project.

Most likely I will find somebody in few regions to distribute it for some premium per device.

Beautiful looking switcher! I am definitely interested and plan to monitor this thread. Is it at all possible that the next version will have a manual switch option? I like to have multiple systems on at once, and it would be very nice to be able to just hit a button when i want to play a particular one....maybe something as simple as a single toggle button that will switch between inputs in case the default one that overrides isn't the one you want to play at that moment. I know I can't be the only one that has this concern....

Thank you!

Sorry, no manual switching.
Why do you want to keep your consoles turned on if you can't see more than one screen at a time? :)
However you may connect your consoles in a way that one console will override the other when both are turned on.

Sometimes I'll be working on a long game with no save, but feel like playing a different game for a while on a different console. In this case it makes sense to leave it on. I do it all the time actually.... :)

Well, this is a beautiful piece of work. I definitely need one - when do you think they'll be next available?

This is awesome! I might not have 8 SCART connected consoles yet but I am getting there slowly. I will be patiently waiting for when you start to sell these.

I already have 2 of these, but will probably order another when the new design is available. These are really good switches.

Simultaneous VGA/SCART output, video amplifier and composite based signal detection (no power pins needed).
There is more information in my assemblergames topic.

Chiming in as well. I have one of superg's older designs and it still works amazingly! You guys are getting a quality switch. :D

Really cool design. I can't wait to see the new one.

At the moment, I am only working two consoles with SCART, so I don't need a switch at the moment, but when I do, I know where to look.

The only thing that would be a nice addition would be two separate outputs, aka a powered splitter. That would be ideal.
