Paprium: The Official Thread Mk 2

Actually they might not be resistors. They could still be caps just banded ceramic capacitors. Atari consoles are loaded with these things and it causes quite a bit of confusion for those that might not be aware.

It looks like a carbon film resistor on one of the boards, the other could be a capacitor. Even on the schematics,
this additional capacitor isn't numbered on the board. They appear to have been added at the last minute,
perhaps selectively so.

You will get your game. Holidays shipping from US are taking their time, everything should resume after after new years. FYI I haven't received my shipped packages from the US yet either. Just a matter of time I'm sure.

I've not received mine either, and I live in the US (Midwest). I won't lie and say that I'm not worried, but with WM's track record I have very little reason to be hopeful of its arrival. With Fonzie's new business practices of creating a gouger's market in the homebrew sector, it'ss not a stretch to assume that Fonzie sees more potentiual dollar signs if he "accidentally misplaces" a certain percentage of old pre-orders by kicking them over to the new pre-order campaign. I could just be paranoid and I sincerely hope that I get proven wrong.

still waiting... with no updates since then.

In regards to naming of enemies, which fit best? SOR2 had great names for enemies such as Galsia, Surger, Garam,
Donovan, Signals, Beano, Electra, Fog, Gale, Storm, Typhoon, Tomcat, Mach, Zamza, Souther, Nail, Heart, Balloon,
Gourmand, Raven, Eagle, Bantam, Condor, Galuda, Isotope, Oxygen, Shiva and the ever original Mr. X.


As far as Paprium goes, the only appropriate names that immediately come to mind are Fenix and Gordon. They fit
the officer motif. Whereas some just don't quite work (Yesh, Yolo, Buddy, Noname, B.I.P.M., TokTok)

[Joe Redifer]

The names don't bother me. But if you turn on BOF Naming in the options they are much stranger and even less appropriate.

This resistor ensures that the pin is pulled down when it is not in use, and prevents floating input, guaranteeing
either a 0 or 1. I'm not sure if a capacitor would perform the same operation, though.

A capacitor to ground (especially a very small one like this) is for filtering high frequency noise.

So far, I've played the game on the following:

Genesis Model 1 HDG non-TMSS VA2 - works fine, no issues! FAT bass too!
JVC X'Eye - works fine, no issues. game recognizes the built in SEGA CD.
Hyperkin Mega Retron HD - Works alright, but with a few seconds of slow down at the beginning/loading of stages. Music sounds a little off.

You do that part after you pick what to convert to.

Where? How? I have 500 gems converted to Paprium. There is nothing else to select or click.

I just logged back into MGF. It says this:

My Pre-orders
PAPRIUM INVESTOR(U)
x 1
Converted the: 28/12/2020

There is a small hourglass to the right and it says this when clicked: This pre-ordered item is not ready to ship!

Has anyone else gotten this error?

[crazyteknohed]

I just tried and it’s showing as General Logistics Systems, updated 17/12/20. GLS still showing as arrived at German depot which has me slightly concerned as to why it has gone there en route to the UK.

I guess I should update this post to say I received the game yesterday so I shall bow out of this thread. Good luck to all of you still waiting - I really hope each and every one of you gets to enjoy this superb game.

[peido]

You can update you address in the Watermelon/MagicalGameFactory website. I think it was on the PreOrders tab.

Two emails now gone unanswered to Fonzie about my order that still shows "shipping" with no tracking number. I guess I'm one of the unlucky ones that gets nothing.

Same here, in the UK, waiting for a shipment from the US. No change of details since 15th December - I am assuming it's in transit, and they have just not updated anything. I haven't contacted them.
When I see some of the other guys on this thread I know are also waiting from the same delivery source receive theirs and I haven't, then I will start to worry.

[Winterwolfen]

Iced snowman, did you ever request a refund during the years?
