Original Post

Since Protoman85’s review, I’ve had a few folk asking me to make them Bound High carts.

I will do it, but I won’t take money.

I’ll accept 2 donor carts. One, I will use to make your BH cart, and the other is payment (which I’ll use to make FlashBoy’s).

Does that sound OK ?

This box looks absolutely fantastic :thumpup:
Great Job !!

Richard,
What was the final count, how many of these were actually made up to this point?

=======
I also just received mine and it’s a treat to own a standalone cart. The sticker isn’t as nice as the FB+ sticker (seems a higher DPI could have been used?), but for the rock bottom price of 2 donor carts I find it very hard to complain!

34

The sticker isn’t as nice

The BH label file wasn’t very high res.

Since I received this game, I’ve not been able to put it down. I love it! Plus I think the sticker is fine. Thanks again to Richard for his technical genius!

Unfortunately, everyone knows what could happen in the future, as a result of there being only 34 Bound High carts in existence. I just hope that all lucky persons who got a copy won’t succumb to that temptation.

I think people on here are pretty decent.

BTW I’d love to make some Dragon Hopper carts too 😉

MineStorm, If you ever get a chance to make the Dragon Hopper cart, name your price. I would buy one in a heartbeat! Would you ever decide to make repro carts for other games? Like Space Invaders or Virtual Lab? I don’t know if it would be less or more work than making Flash Boys, but you could charge whatever you wanted and I would buy.

DH, man that would send everyone into a twitching frenzy just waiting for it to pop through the letterbox, let alone when the title screen graces our eyes, needless to say I’d have one.
I would still like a BH cart but can’t get sorted to get a couple of donors, so have to keep flashing the FB, I’ll keep a look out for donors in the mean time so if ever another batch is decided upon I’ll be ready, or for DH.

Yeah folks here seem pretty decent & honest, a question though, did you put anything inside the BH carts, maybe just a mark on the pcb with ‘repro’ or something just so if one does appear on ebay its easy enough to have checked?

I don’t have a tool to open it, but I’m pretty sure the PCB’s are red. He posted pics of them a few pages back.

I’m with John E Bravo. I would buy the Dragon Hopper cart and any reproduction carts of Virtual Lab, SD Gundam Dimension War, and Virtual Bowling. Plus, I missed out on the Bound High carts because I didn’t even notice the offer until it was already too late! I’d love to have a chance to get one. Price isn’t too much of an issue, either. I think the $100 price tag for a FlashBoy+ is very reasonable and could very well apply as a price for any reproduction cart, and by reproduction cart, I just mean a plain cart with the game on it. I can apply my own sticker and make my own box and manual later. 🙂

did you put anything inside the BH carts

No, but like adler says, the PCB is bright red and looks nothing like the VB boards.

If the BH proto ever did turn up, I would imagine it would be on of those long EPROM carts.

I stil haven’t gotten my cart yet. 🙁 I hate international shiping. 🙁

My cart just came in yesterday (Saturday), and it is amazing! Thanks again for the awesome work, MineStorm; I shall cherish it!

Now to look into making a box and manual…
^_^

BH was shown at spaceworld, correct. So it does exist in physical cartridge form unless the data was running off of a Model One prototype console like KR155E’s.
I misread your post and thought you said DH.

Maybe one of these other 2 is DH. I don’t have the time for this internet drama. 😛 😉
None of this is news.

Well, this picture is no news either, but now you have more to talk about than an hour ago 😛 It’s just two versions of the same thing, made by two artists of the Virtual Boy 😉
