The 1.2 "Final" is the beta 8 which came out in February, if you read the change log.

So yes, about a year.
 

Well at any rate, did you offer to send the troubled cartridge(s)?

Offered in my email to help back a year ago (OCT2016), got no response back, hence my comment about non-answers(non commital to fix) or no reply at all. My longer post may have come off as abrasive, but when they responded saying they had replied to all of my emails, when clearly they had not, I got a bit  miffed.
 

Its not unreasonable. 

That being said, I have no idea how things like this are fixed, or how long it takes. I do know retro USB is a smaller company, so maybe things take longer to fix. 

What if they have been feverishly working on it for 10 months, and can’t figure it out? Who knows. 

I do know you have a few options. 

1. Wait it out patiently
2. Sell your AVS
3. Use your regular NES for those 3-4 specific games, and use your AVS for everything else and its other cool features 


Being abrasve and saying the compatability is poor because of 3-4 games unlicensed games released after the original console is unpleasant. 

 

I don't see your offer to send a cartridge in your email up there.

"Offering to help" without specifically saying you will send the cartridge is too vague. They probably get a ton of "offers to help" from every chucklefuck out there who thinks they know there way around a console. Put your cartridges where your mouth is.  
 

PVM snob.  

 

Well, I think there are later emails missing, but I have offerred more than once and Im pretty sure back then I tried getting in touch with Bunnyboy too, but never got a response. So sorry if I sound a little frustrated, I just figured there would be some expectation of support to get things fixed since even the firmware from a year ago actually made things worse. I dont mean to sound like a whiny customer, but its not like these were cheap consoles and we are asking out of charity, we did pay for them.

I secretly want all hdmi based fpga consoles to fail so everyone has to return to the dark days of RGB

Keep in mind he was neck deep in the connector and USB port issues around that time, not to mention setting up the second run. Maybe things have calmed down.

Sorry for being a dick, Im just annoyed by the situation in general as this is the third homebrew (Not hack) Ive gotten recently that hasnt worked and having to switch between firware all the time is kinda getting on my nerves.

 

Have they all been from the same place?

No, Pokemon Yellow was from a private party, Megacat Studios I had 2 games not work, FF7 was from Flashback, and there are a few more I cant think of off top of my head(At work atm), but basically no, its not like its one place selling bad boards. THing is, some of them work with SOME of the firmware. For example, FF7? Works fine with beta 6, supposidly Megacat games, beta 7, Pokemon Yellow, kinda worked with beta 6, and kinda worked with beta 7, but both had issues, or solved one issue but created another. As I stated earlier, having to jump between firmware is starting to be a pain in the ass IMO and ought to be solved.

Bump. It's been fixed. My creeping it reel cart works with 1.3b6. I assume Creepy Brawlers used the sAme PCB so it should work as well. Haven't received Medusa yet. Can't wait to play it.
