    I'm not sure that a sync stripper will help you... have you tried the consoles through a scaler or on a CRT with an SCART input? I suspect the issue may be with your monitor.

    I'll try to find an old CRT, you are right and i suspect my flat tv to be the source of my issues too.

    Hey SuperG what's your current plan looking like? Focusing on the JP21 only or still going through the EuroSCART waiting list as well?

    Sorry for the late update: I've had some unexpected things to deal with thus I wasn't able to work on the switch last weekend. JP21 version is soldered and I need to debug one small issue. Basically it works as expected, will have more information for you this weekend.

    The plan is to finalize both SCART and JP21 designs. SCART design depends on some prototype circuit used in JP21 proto I've got. JP21 is basically a rewire so all the major components are remaining the same. Currently I've shipped all SCART switches I had, I keep just one SCART and one JP21 proto for my testing.

    Nice work, will use those once I'll finish my setup.

    Update: I had a very productive weekend, found the source of JP21 issue, have to change few resistors and retest everything. Waiting for the parts and will keep you posted.

    Hi!

    Sorry to ask this, I'm sure you get a shit loads of questions like this on almost a weekly basis; but "about" when do you believe it will be possible to place an order for the EuroSCART switcher in the future? I will definitely place an order as soon as it would be possible and would even be willing to pay in advance for one if you would prefer! :) (Yes, I'm that eager!) Any hope that the eight wonder of the retro gaming world will be open for order this year?

    Best regards,
    /V

    Its one of those things that will be ready when its ready (testing, working out bugs, general quality control can't be rushed). As for orders this year, its unlikely they will be ready by then. Best guess (and really just a guess) will be mid next year. There will be two distributors that have been mentioned in prior posts. I know RetroRGB will be distributor here in North America. There are no pre-pays, no waiting lists, no lists to get on a list, etc... superg has been great with posting updates on the forum. Best advice, keep watching the forum for updates and release news.

    Update:
    [JP21] I've managed to sort out everything. There is nothing I want to change at this point and I'm really happy how it shaped out.
    [SCART] The design will be unified with JP21 version which will simplify everything.

    This week I freeze the designs, all features are there. Tried to please everybody :).
    Next week I'm focused on the distribution. I'll keep you posted.

    Oh man, I can't wait. Please don't forget my JPN version. Think I was the first or one of the first who requested one :)

    Awesome. Cash is in hand to pay. I have to be in the first five for the JP21. I think I asked shortly after Yakumo.

    I hope you’ll make a ton of money once they’re going through distributors. This seems like a lot of work and you deserve it.
