Recently purchased second Virtual Boy has the serial number: VN10125041[0]

There are only a couple of “real” options to fix the glitchy display problem, and both require some delicate soldering.

The heat method can work, but don’t count on it to be a permanent fix – in almost all cases the problem will come back. The heat method will also lose its effectiveness with repeated applications. If you are going to attempt this route, you can try to use some 3D printed brackets to hold everything in place and potentially make it last a little longer. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2884075

As far as homebrew goes, you’ll likely want a flash cart. As far as I know, there aren’t any options for one for less than $120, but you can keep an eye on places like eBay for one of the old Flashboy+’s. They pop up for sale from time to time. Otherwise, keep an eye on what user mellott124 is working on as he’s making the current flash carts for the system.

I’m still working on the black and white ones, I have a full commercial set and have been slowly converting more. I haven’t released anything from that, I don’t think people are as interested in the strictly black and white labels as I am. Happy to send them to you though if you want try them.

I’m working on it Schwanck! That’s not one I expect someone to want

That’s a lot of icons to choose from for roms! Well done @TheRedMenace!

Congratulations!

I love this guy. These are such weird little releases, and I like the way he just casually drops them on YouTube.

Microbrew?

I think the Metroid one works the best, nice work!

Those look great! I especially like #3

More fixes and tweaks to the existing labels. Preview and .zip updated.

I agree that it would be great to have the 3D depth enabled by default, but leave the options menu in there so that it can be disabled if the effect doesn’t work well for a particular game.

@The Red Menace It is shifted, that’s why there’s a blank space to the right.

I’ll start by throwing some low hanging fruit up here (no need to include me in the actual contest). I’ll have to see what I can come up with in the next couple of weeks.

You should be able to find all the default labels and icons in the Hyperflash32 Dropbox folder. There was a link in the email from Kevin Mellott.

There are only 20 so far from me.

Just minor edits to some labels. Still only 56.

Great work, as always Thunderstruck!
