Paprium: The Official Thread Mk 2

[TmEE]

I first got one of those around 15 years ago. They've been doing this for a while !

Makes sense. Rubber's probably cheaper than largely unused PCB area.

Wait a minute...

Are the cartridges themselves actually putting out any voltage back into the console? Pretty sure that if they are supposed to be 3.3v components that happen to be 5v tolerant, that they aren't magically putting 3.3 back into the console are they?

Yes, the signals have very little amperage behind them but they are 3.3 or 5v. Using 5v tolerant components is viable as long as they do not
communicate directly with the console, or are properly level shifted if they do. The lazy (and flawed) approach would be to filter each signal
with a resistor, something that WM has evidently been doing.

We should tone down this discussion because if Fonzie gets wind of this conversation it will be another reason to delay the production 6 more months. I can even hear the voice "Ho, an unexpected production issue invalidated all our boards. We're producing new ones and they'll be out in time for your perfect Valentine's day date".

Nah he'll use me and Matt's (other Matt) refusal to do all the proof reading for virtually free I know of 3 other proof readers reading the english manuals though so hopefully he'll avoid using that one

Paprium is slowly slipping into 2019, with no updates. Say hi to Fonzie matt!

Once we reach 1 million views on this thread, we can finally lock it up.

Ha! I don't want to inadvertently start the hype train by hinting too much at what I've read and seen. In fact that may actually be Fonz underlying agenda in sending it to me. Who knows he's clever at this stuff.

He has managed to keep a hell of a lot of information under wraps though and I kinda find it disappointing that he's not used any of it for PR purposes.

Lack of news aside my biggest concern is I've not had communication with a single tester, so I can only assume (and it's a big assumption) that 1) Testers are extremely water tight regarding their NDA. or 2) Testing hasn't started yet. or 3) he's not testing (doubtful)

Those that work closely with WM can be pretty water tight on discussions. So as with my previous posts: Let's just see if it drops in October.

Oh gosh, you aren't kidding



Do you think the forum will render it as 1,000,000 or 1000,000?

Ha! Sik, your brain is all coder

Things like these are handled by number formatting libraries, probably some PHP standard library. If it already placed the first digit separator, it will continue to add every new 3 digits.

I just checked the haul thread on the Insert Coin section, which has it as 1,000,000 .

Going to bet it's nowhere near testing, if that were the case something would have leaked out by now. Maybe I'm wrong and Fonzie has a complete game he's keeping under wraps, but I doubt it.

Something tells me Stef is deeply involved in Paprium and he is one of "beta testers".

I have think you're asking too many questions now buddy...
