Btw, I can confirm that the saving works on my reprocard with FRAM FM18W08.
So I am not sure why it had problems when playing the ROM via MrCart.

Built my reprocard today, no genuine VB parts used!
Looks great in my opinion 🙂


@czar_h
: please check your messages, I sent you a PM here.

It is a bit of different cartridge, but nevertheless a physical item with your game on it.
It is not reflashable, no.

Glad to hear you will look into my bug list.
Thanks!

EDIT: wanted to add Super Bros´ nice looking label here, in case it gets lost in the Discord hole.
Thanks for this!

Okay, that is totally understandable.
So there will not be an updated next week or so, but rather in months?
Reason I ask is I want to make a reprocard of your game, and seeing an update next week when I complete the cartridge this week is something I want to avoid 😉

Oh, but will this be also Breakout or a completely different game?

V10035715 – JP, mosaic unit, was fixed on a small Japanese display stand.
Got soldered ribbon cables by TheForce81 (thanks for this!)

Yes, please polish this a bit and it will turn out great!
Super Bros already agreed to do a nice looking label for this game 🙂

Feedback from my side, played on real hardware via MrCart:

– I like the Atari vibes
– it runs great on real hardware
– the collision is sometimes a bit weird and unexpected
– the ball is sometimes hard to see (it hardly distinguishes from the background in some cases)
– music is nice!
– highscores seems to be off: it starts with a highscore of somehing like 6x xxx.
– the current score during gameplay is also not shown correctly, the stage is overlapping it.

Thanks for sharing this!

Wow, those label look really well made!

Thank you for this opportunity.

Speaking of “appearance at trade shows”: I might be totally off here, but has he been on shows where cancelled VB games have been presented? And if yes, what can he say about those games?

Okay, I ordered from VR32.uk
Very fast shipping, cartridges look very good, play and safe fine.

Nusilver wanted to create a manual (see a few posts above).

Btw, I made my own EPROM dev cartridge look-alike reprocard for Dragon Hopper.
Since I could not get the saving to work I have chosen the debug patch which allows me to play at least all stages.

Yeah, with stolen label from Super Bros…

These are the labels I use, looking great and centered.
They are not from me, but I can´t say who is the creator because so much going on on Discord.
I hope the creator is not angry and understands this.

@KJ4860 : your labels are a very dark and a bit shifted in the x-direction.

Link is working for me here in Germany.

Yep, bw only label would be great!

Not to my knowledge, at least labels are out by SuperBros.

Regarding the 32MBit compatibility:
Well known MrFlower checked the design and concluded that 32MBit will not work, i.e. assemblying 2x16MBit EPROMs.
You can brake the roms, due to “bus contention”.

I wanted to let people know.

Thanks to MrFlower for his efforts!
