So, uh, any follow up? :'(loopy wrote:Paypal is screwy, even though the stock was set at 0 it would still let an order or two slip in every day.

I hold some extra boards for repairs and such, so if you got lucky and managed to slip in an order that way, I'll still install it.
Yes, the plan is to move away from the old design. Components are becoming obsolete, I want to move to a smaller, cheaper, internal design on the old 3DS (matching the XL board design). It looks like I'll be doing one more small production run of the old boards (til the rest of the parts are used up, I have some cases & cables left over) but those won't last long.
Yes I know, everyone is anxious about pokemon. I'm sorry if I haven't gotten back to you, I get tired of responding to dozens of "When will you have (XYZ)????" every day. I try to keep up with normal support emails but these tend to get ignored. Sorry I haven't been involved in the forum for a long time. To be honest, I've been a little afraid, after being gone so long I figured it'd be in chaos by now.
XL and n3DSXL boards are being worked on (XL will probably be available first but n3DS should come soon after). I'm not going to try to guess a release date yet, but obviously it's in my best interest to have something done quickly with pokemon and end of the year coming up. I've focused on keeping up with orders, I've mostly been able to keep a 1-2 day turnaround time for months now but that doesn't leave me much time to work on new things. Now that orders have stopped I will be working on this full time now.
I need to go now, I'll be back tomorrow to follow up.
Sold out?

Re: Sold out?
I'm getting doubtful at this point, Loopy is really busy, and I understand as he has a life aswell. We just have to hope, I have been checking the website daily so.. crossing my fingers.
Re: Sold out?
Don't lose hope. I'm sure all is well on his end and he's doing the best that he can.

Re: Sold out?
I am so sad I didn't take advantage when the sales were back up Part of me is terrified to send in my 3ds, but it's definitely cheaper than trying to buy from Katsukitty. And from what I hear is far more reliable too.
Part of me wants to see if I can buy an old one off someone who just doesn't want to stream/record anymore, but prices are all over the place. If I could get a NA one for $250-$350 then I wouldn't mind and would have a back-up system in case things break, but it doesn't look like that's happening.
Ah well, that's life. I suppose I'll wait and see. Maybe I'll make a thread anyway in the buy/sell section.
Hope you are doing well Loopy!

Re: Sold out?
Been watching this thread for the past few weeks now. I'm glad to hear that the original 3ds xls are getting their capture cards soon! Been very anxious to get your capture cards, like everyone else here. Can't wait to see them up again!
Re: Sold out?
Been refreshing this feed for two weeks waiting for that follow-up... We got a month until Sun and Moon... getting real nervous I won't be able to get a capture card by then...

Re: Sold out?
Same here, as a new streamer and somebody who is excited to start making Youtube content for these games I can understand the anxiety.UnownAlias wrote:Been refreshing this feed for two weeks waiting for that follow-up...

Though I have faith in Loopy and I'm sure he's trying his hardest to complete his work, so I'm sure that's why he hasn't had time to follow up. We've just got to be patient and support him from distance I suppose.
I really hope there will be enough to purchase from Merki though.
Re: Sold out?
Same, very nervous ! I don't want to buy to Katsukity but if before November there is still no capture card. I would be obliged to do so.Kieran-Kun wrote:Same here, as a new streamer and somebody who is excited to start making Youtube content for these games I can understand the anxiety.UnownAlias wrote:Been refreshing this feed for two weeks waiting for that follow-up...

Sorry for Merki and Loppy who do a good work
