										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wow, a year and a half since the last update &#8211; I’m going to try to make updates a bit more frequent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the last update, there has been a bit of work done on the firmware side of things, please check for updates on the <a href="https://irkenlabs.com/jammafier/firmware-update/" title="Firmware update">Jammafier</a>, <a href="https://irkenlabs.com/jamma-expander/firmware-update/" title="Firmware Update">JAMMA Expander</a> and the <a href="https://irkenlabs.com/jvs-expander/firmware-update/" title="Firmware Update">JVS Expander</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I hope to get at least an initial update out for the JVS-PAC 2 with the new USB framework, and then possibly get analog sorted, it for sure is long overdue..</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the FPGA gaming world, there has been A LOT of talk, and not much action &#8211; not unlike JVS-PAC 2 firmware updates <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> As of this writing, the MiSTer is likely still the only viable option you can purchase &#8211; and I think it will remain like that for quite some time.  Who knows when any alternatives will be available or how they will actually turn out. I’m not holding my breath..</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is talk about DE10 clones though, and these look promising. AFAIK they are not released yet, but promise significantly lower cost than getting the original. I may try to get hold of these to check for compatibility with the Expanders &#8211; on paper there should not be any issues, apart from possibly a different USB cable between expander and the DE10-clone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I closed the store for summer, and it will reopen the first week of August.  I have a batch of JAMMA Expanders incoming, that should be available shortly.  It is a limited batch, so you may consider signing up for a <a href="https://irkenlabs.com/product/jamma-expander/" title="MiSTer Jamma Expander">notification</a>.<br></p><p>The post <a href="https://irkenlabs.com/2024-update-im-still-here-tested-jamma-expanders-inbound/">2024 Update – I’m still here,  tested JAMMA Expanders inbound.</a> first appeared on <a href="https://irkenlabs.com">Irken Labs</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
