Added a non-padded version, since my HF32 couldn´t recognise the padded one.
Also a picture of my test-setup 🙂

One last VB in my possession:
Japanese, V10037073, Mosaic Unit, Playlink port, bought in Germany.
New release:
Pong Ultimate V1.44DX:
– Complete music overhaul. New tracklist:
delight – title screen
fortressremix – singleplayer normal stage 1
thatmorning (slightly modified) – singleplayer normal stage 2 (wrong stage)
blueoceanremix – singleplayer hard stage 1
darkstoneremix – singleplayer hard stage 2 (wrong hard stage)
hideout – multiplayer left to right
decampment – multiplayer wrong top to bottom
onlyhope – multiplayer hard
gonemissing – multiplayer odd
– DX writing in title screen (moveable via D-Pads)
– Spelling error corrected in the win-screen
Thanks to Tronimal for converting the songs!
Multiplayer has not been tested, but the code remained unchanged to V1.44, so everything should work like before.
Gameplay is also exactly like V1.44.

I also have a “D-VUE-JPN” precautions booklet now, it was with my Vertical Force box.
Is this rarer than the D-VUE-JPN-1 version?
And has this originally been delivered with the system or with games?
Here is the stand clamp metal 3d reprint I got yesterday.
Looks great!
Thanks!
I also got this instruction manual in the meantime 😉
Besides the Q&A booklet.
Here is the English translation.

Yes, looks nice 🙂

Here is the clamp as .stl-file if someone misses them (like I did).
For sake of completeness I also created a Pong instruction booklet.
It is based on the Gameboy template for Figma, to which KR155E pointed me.
I still need to figure out with which scale you need to print it to have a similar size to the real VB games instruction manual, but at least it has 16 pages, so you can print it as brochure and just fix the sides together easily.

@Cosmloiner: Isn´t the Q&A leaflet also missing for your stand?

You have a Japanese display stand?! Nice.
If you are missing the controller holder (like it was the case for mine), you can look at this:
A friend of mine redesigned it in a CAD program.
So if you have access to a tooling shop you can let it rebuilt.
Ordered one here in Germany from ebay.de, 12,99€ incl. shipping.
I have no My Nintendo store points, so I think this price is okay´ish.
I hope that is okay to upload the newer version from Feb. 9th., which Edge Connector has posted in the Discord-Channel.
To archive it and to allow people without Discord to enjoy this title.
I also added the nice looking label from Super Bros.

I updated the shell:
– now recesses in the middle for the capacitor (on both sides, if you want to flip the shell to have the nicer surface visible in case your 3d print has only one nice side)
– holes for the screws now with a “step” to sink the nut of the screws a bit (only on one side, so the recesses for the capacitors in the middle make no sense anymore… 😉 )
Yes, this would make “sense” in my opinion too. 30 years anniversary gift.
In the highly unlikely event that someone wants to build a custom box I upload my rather simple Pong box design here.
The box size is 127mm x 127mm x 23,8mm in case you forgot.
And no, it does not fit on a DIN A4 sheet, I tried this several times…
Attachments:
Since the games are emulated in the Switch it is highly likely that the ROMs are easily useable on real VBs.
And the ROMs will be released since the whole thing is also for Switch 1, which is hackable.

I have both mentioned reprocards from them.
I would say the quality is okay´ish.
Quite nice looking from the outside, but the soldering is not very good.
I have a few more Vintex64 reprocards which stopped working after a while and I had to resolder them.
The 3d effects are very good for both games, yes.
