I need to dig my setup out for this!

 

[TritonDrew]

Count me in for one as well!

A little update on progress - all the hard stuff is done. Now comes the really hard part, which is writing content for the website
https://irkenlabs.com/jamma-expander/introduction

I've started doing firmware programming, QA and packaging - but this will take a little time as work and family also needs a little attention.
Don't panic if you're on the list and haven't received an email, you will..

Everyone get ready, these are coming in hot.

 

[Bigsingerdawg]

[FairWitness]

I need one but I'm not on the list.

Hmm, I wonder if I should have put my money towards this one instead of pre-ordering the MISTERcade in which I have no idea on the status of. . .

I have no doubt MistarAddons makes good products and has been into the Mister stuff from way back. I preordered a mistercade myself back in March.

But I know @invzim, I know his products, have multiples of most if not all them. He knows arcade stuff, knows electronics, understands what we are looking for, so for me it just makes sense to get one or more . I trust his methods and his products, never let me down before, his designs are basically foolproof and they just work. He is quick to resolve any issues or add support for a feature/something if he can do it. So for me its a no-brainer purchase. I will probably have this in my hands way before the MisterCade ever arrives.

So I would say don't miss out on getting this one coming from one of our very own great arcade hobby devs.

I cant afford this now, and I dont have a cab anyway, but I m looking to get a mister in the future. Just wanted to say this is a very cool project though, congrats to whoever gets one.

So if we wanted to plug in any USB devices (keyboard, wifi), we would have to use a separately powered USB hub, is that correct?

 

[BadMonHAK]

Looks great put me down for one.

@invzim One question surrounding prepping an sd card while waiting for the board. Do I really need to use the image + update script as per your documentation, or is the updater-pc tool enough?

@invzim OMG, this gave me a good laugh today!

He includes an otg cable adapter to hook up a keyboard, but if you want to plug more things in at the same time I guess you would need a hub. But its going in the cab, I want to set it and forget it.
