That meddling villetim!!
Actually his point was perfectly valid and I'm thankful for that. I've got Framemeister XCAPTURE-1 device and now I'm able to compare picture quality. I've seen that there is slight dimming when you use more than one switch in daisy chain. You can barely see that or not, but anyway I strive for the quality so that's why amplifier was used.

Is it possible to order now, or do you need more time?
Thanks
I see. I'm looking to pre-order for almost a year now, without success.
I know you have a lot to do but do you have an idea to when it will be possible again?
Seems that you're a victim of your own success :)

Oh, so you're Blake from assemblergames forums, right?
Well, you didn't contact me while the waiting list was opened so I can't do much right now, waiting list is the top priority.
I can't tell the exact estimate, every time I'm trying to schedule it's getting late so the answer is "when it's done".
Hopefully I'll ship some new SCART switches next week, then I'll manufacture JP21 version (not much people are waiting for it so it'll go as one batch)
Then in 2nd batch I'll try to cover the remaining SCART switches.

I'd like a JP21. If your doing them in one batch.

I don't frequent here much so I have no idea whats going on from month to month.

I can wait 6 months if you like but if my chance to get a JP21 is now or never I'd rather have one now.

Edit - Could you link a UK PSU so that I don't blow this thing up too. I don't want to spend this much on a product only to use the wrong PSU.

Yes that's me :)
Ok then, I'll keep an eye on this forum. If you can put me on the next list I'll be glad if not I'll try to catch the next opened waiting list.
Thanks.

I'm glad to see the project is still going well. I noticed that assembler was still down, so I popped over here to see any progress.

I haven't seen any updates in a while and I'd really like to buy 2 of these. Is there any way to find out when people who are not on the waitlist can get one?

Thank you!

The current waiting list is being processed.
The switch will be distributed through RetroRGB (US / World) and VideogamePerfection (UK / World), please be patient, I'm working on it.

I am resurfacing to say I'd like to get on whatever phase 2 waiting list you have in mind, or at least to say I'm watching this topic. My XRGB Mini came today and I'm planning to use precisely eight SCART devices :D
Why is it called the Vic Viper/Warp Rattler? Because the Options trail behind it in a serpent-like fashion, and the iconic front fins are designed to invoke the image of a snake's fangs.

Yes, you can output simultaneously to two displays.
Sorry for not updating this topic for a long time, it's getting more and more complicated, primary source of information is my ASG topic.

Thanks for your answer. This device really is a dream. I hope getting it into general production is going well and I think at some point I will be getting one. Good luck!

Hi !

Could you please be more precise regarding release date?

Also, do i have to be put on a waiting list when you sell it over your website or is there ´nough for anybody?

Greetings from Germany..

Check the post on assemblergames : http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/gsc ... ost-854637


Update:
Guys, a lot of things are happening behind the scenes. SCART version distribution is close.
Hopefully by the end of the next week I will be able to update you on the details.
