Xecuter NAND-X & JTAG Connection Kit delayed again, mini laptop, broken elbow bone, C-64 babbling etc...

Well... As the topic says it has been delayed again. Due in Stock says: May 22, 2010, but you never know... Good things come to them who wait. :)

On the other hand one dude I know who read my blog saw that I'm into Xbox360 hacking said that he has a Xbox360 that has been in the closet for few years, because it was banned from Xbox LIVE (for DVD-drive hacking) and wants to give it for me for free! Yay \o/. So even if we break one of the boxes (*knocks on the wood*) we atleast will have one working JTAG'ed Xbox360 (*knocks on the wood again*). :)

I also got some other nice toys to play with, but I'll tell you more about it later. But one is a mini laptop I intend to turn into hackintosh, but more about it later. It has even nice touchscreen (here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1H_gmvnRaE). I hurt my rigth hand pretty badly during vappu weekend (labor day // may day... whatever) so it'll be useful.

We're also working on a X2010 demo with our C-64 demogroup svenonacid (http://noname.c64.org/csdb/scener/?id=10879). Let's hope that we'll get it ready in time. We have lots of cool ideas, some demoparts (ready, unfinished and in planning stage), musics and graphics. Also some well known sceners outside our group are helping as well (you know who you are, thanks for all the support!).

Also big respect to Nostalia for Toki +6DFHR... The people into C-64 know what I'm talking about. I also just visited CSDb and saw some new tewnz from Abaddon/Fairlight. Now I'm off to listening to them.

Enjoy the sun,
Toni

Xecuter NAND-X & JTAG Connection Kit delayed

Ugh... Damn. I was waiting for April release of NAND-X & JTAG CK, but it seems that the release date is slipping to May. This is the message from the retailer of  the product:

"We just got word that the JTAG part of the kit design has been improved so the date has been bumped a couple of weeks into May - it will be worth the wait though ! There is non-cased version of the NAND-X without the JTAG kit - We have been able to get our hands on a few of these - so if you have made a pre-order and have already done your JTAG hack and REALLY want to get your hands on a NAND-X right now - drop us an email and let us know (make sure you include your order number)".

Well I'm not that much in hurry. I still have reading to do how to use the equipment when it arrives.

Let's hope all this is worth waiting and I'll be playing around with the homebrew stuff atleast in a month. Knocks on the wood. :)
