Re: gscartsw: automatic 8:1 SCART-RGB switch
Are you still planning on offering a JP21 version at some point?

Re: gscartsw: automatic 8:1 SCART-RGB switch
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.kamiboy wrote:Are you still planning on offering a JP21 version at some point?
What's left prior to updated PCB design is couple of small design decisions.

Re: gscartsw: automatic 8:1 SCART-RGB switch
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.tpunk wrote:Good to hear you are making progress again.

Re: gscartsw: automatic 8:1 SCART-RGB switch
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!

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.

Re: gscartsw: automatic 8:1 SCART-RGB switch
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.

Re: gscartsw: automatic 8:1 SCART-RGB switch
I already have 2 of these, but will probably order another when the new design is available. These are really good switches.

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

Re: gscartsw: automatic 8:1 SCART-RGB switch
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.
