I think it's all about luck as I've heard some people have had problems and then others have not. (more people that are on this forum have done complaining than said their product is ok)kildon wrote:Trust me, if the quality were even remotely close, there wouldn't be many people left on this forum. From what I've heard it's about a 3 month lifespan, offered by someone who often loses devices sent to him and has essentially no warranty on work he does complete.
I will admit, that I got a VITA capture device last year and have used it for a "3 month period" with no problems with the video capture part, (then again I put mine in a carrying case and don't abuse it, just like my old black VITA I used to have) just the audio which is from my end since it requires the headphone jack way and my newer computer doesn't exactly have a microphone jack (and needed to use a USB addon to use a microphone jack to connect the VITA to)
Meanwhile, I did order a N3DS from Katsukity as well (a pre-assembled one) and currently I "expect" it around October (but people know that can change) and considering it's not an XL (as I do prefer the smaller size) and Loopy never has said if he was developing one for the smaller version and hasn't even given an update for months but does check the technical support and answer on there... (same could be said with katsukity on their "N3DS thread" though too) I decided since my VITA works perfectly fine I'd try the smaller version for Katsukity as far as a Japanese system goes since I haven't been one to purchase English games as of late due to NoA's decisions (in my personal opionion)
If Loopy had said he'd be trying to do the normal versions I may have waited, but since he only mentioned the XLs as of recent I figured katsukity will be the only way with that model right now.
==================================================
Now to go into my own thoughts if no one minds...
Again, considering there hasn't been an update in literally a few months now... I can be patient... especially when I commission people for certain things as I've been waiting a few months for some art I've ordered, but THEY have messaged me and have let me know if there has been trouble instead of going on without a single update...
Meanwhile a lot of people have been asking for just a simple update on this thread of whether there has been a problem or not with the current project... I'll even admit that I get kind of "paranoid" if I don't release a video after a few days (so much so, that I put out a blooper video a couple weeks ago for a Fire Emblem If chapter since Lunatic has been a pain and even released a video today on my "day off" since it had been a few days as well)
Lucky for me, my "regular viewers" don't mind and understand, so much that they say that I should take a break sometimes.
Just... a simple update is all people have been asking for and meanwhile I sit and lurk this thread for months without a simple confirmation on how it's coming along and it kinda seems a bit... worrisome... since Loopy has been replying to other threads on the technical support site.
Like someone said on another post, if he can post saying that progress has been going smoothly on the XL, great. If there has been a snag in the plans though, I'm pretty sure any news would be rather informative to some people than no news as all.
Heck, I'm not even interested in the XL devices and only semi-interested in the N3DS XL news since I may get one eventually but right now, just would rather have one for a N3DS standard size as I said, I prefer the smaller system (and the system IS bigger than the standard normal 3DS)
Not sure if I may get ridiculed or not but considering I've bought 2 capture devices from Loopy and will admit that they work fantastically (although my English one does need to be repaired and tried contacting him a few months ago about it but... ahhh... never got an invoice to send it and never followed up on it... probably big reason being that I just haven't played English games in months like I said...) but when there hasn't been an update of some kind in months, including not even selling any capture devices going on 5 months (half a year in a month I believe) ... I would be worried, and kinda worry for those that do want a capture device from Loopy
