Early adoptors always pay more.

Anyways good luck to you I thank you for developing such a product.



Actually as I only own a standard DS I am more interested the that version of the capture unit but as there is no place to post on that webpage, excuse me if I post here.

Is there a FAQ I can read regards the pcbs.

An online shop with order cueing would be appreiceted as it would give people some piece of mind.
( I suspect you are backlogged with email expressing interest )

If I may ask a more open question - Why have'nt the China dont care third party manufactures jumped in here to fill the void.

Are the total market sales large enough?

Loopy, have you tried talking to katsukity and see how many units he's selling with his slightly higher price?

Edit: Whoops, thought katsukity was a she. My bad.

FAQ regarding the PCBs? No, what is it you're wondering about?

I will definitely be looking into it. Not just for your piece of mind. It'll save me headaches. I made the mistake of telling people where they were in my order list. Once that started, I got emails every day asking for updates. Can't deal with that BS anymore, sorry :| I'm busy enough already.

I don't think so, not even close. It's a niche market for sure.

Initial sales when there are hardly any capture cards to give out will of course be high - it is a battle to get one. Your price point is perfect because it undercuts the other sellers and is just within the budgets of many. If it goes about $200 I won't have the funds to buy it any more and that would be a real shame.

Well rather than making guesses

- I was wondering why the pcb is only suitable for original DS ?

- Is there going to be a pcb revision that allows use in other DS family units i.e. Lite ?

- Is the current pcb design final or would they be a pcb revision that as new features ?

And a more sensitve question.

What are the production run numbers per batch?

- The DS Lite (and others) works differently. A Lite board would need more components and twice as many connections (LCD signal is shared to both screens on the original DS).
- I have no plans to work on other DS boards.
- I'm not adding more features.
- 370 boards in the last batch. This should last me a very long time.

Any update on when these will be available (not on eBay) again?
