So I’d say the best route would be to buy a cheap smart phone:

flash a custom rom then remove all the phone stuff,
add a nice background, add a emulator for virtual boy,
add a charge extender,
modify a Google VR headset with the charge port and paint it,
add a custom painted Bluetooth controller
add all the ROMs to a SD card.

It would be light, wearable and probably really nice.

I may have to be more creative with how I show off my VB stuff now. This could be fun.

Actually I looked through the item history for the seller, the dude has sold multiple CIB copies, as well as many other repros.
Minestorm is right, I thought it was an original release because it looks identical to one. But no, I guess someone is ripping off all the assets, and reproducing them verbatim without credit to the people who originally made them. The real kick in the balls is the $425 premium that particular game gets over say a Bound High CIB he makes. If you’re going to milk the market using other peoples hard work/investment, it would sure make it less of a dick move if maybe you contacted them and offered a bit of the cut, hmm?

To be clear, I have no problem with someone supplying the demand for a market. It’s when sneaky/dirty tactics are used, like taking assets without permission, or doing so while also taking advantage of an items market price.

Sorry to tell you all but the seller is mellott124, if you look through feedback someone mentions him directly by name. Yes, the same guy that’s making the new cartridge dumper and programmer has also made and sold around 10 copies of Hyper Fighting.

He also contacted me on here before.

Honestly, what you paid overall is pretty solid. Those are very nice finds.

That’s a great price, HackerBilly; especially by today’s standard of system value. Did you get any games?

They are all Japanese versions that have been fan translated into English and then placed onto reproduction carts with new boxes, labels and manuals.

At $140 I’d be interested for sure! How much to have it light up?

I’d actually buy a 3DS if such an emulation became possible as it would be so cool.

That’s a high quality repair. I am glad mine have had the repair but your work is absolutely quality.

It still needs a red light installed and red plexiglass over the top of Virtual Boy cut into the exact oval.

I agree, it looks like an official Nintendo display.

Looks cool, good quality craftsmanship.

I’m interested, how much for the 256Mbit package?

Good luck, I recommend watching eBay.

I used a Elmer’s Glue stick (purple kind).

I wish you luck as I know that Mario Clash is a really cool game. It uses the 3D in a very fun and very cool visual way.

Actually 3D Tetris is pretty uncommon as it wasn’t well received. I never saw a copy for under $35 even in 2012. The last 6 years have caused every game (except Virtual Fishing which was $80 back then and is now like $60?) to skyrocket on VB.

ApplePi very cool, I haven’t ever seen a RaspberryPi built into such a cool casing.

Oh snap. This would be great. What will I do with my Flashboy+ after this is finished? Will anyone want one anymore?

They likely won’t be as in demand but will remain a collectors item, I’m sure.
