So could we get this clear, is it a full version of Bound High (or the duff ROM copy that has been mentioned, anyone got a copy of that they would care to share cos I would love to just see this game running and have a go at level 1) and also is this EPROM cart an original from the manufacturer of the game or a hombrew made up type thing?
II can’t see anyone splashing out 3500 without having at least these Q’s answered.

In that case, i suspect that the silence from the author is an answer….

mmmmm, my thoughts exactly……..but please prove us wrong and give us all the details Robert.

it has a standard size connector, so any multi ac adapter can be used. sounds very useful for us europeans. no more stepdown converters. 🙂

It needs a DC adaptor to work, I have not tried using an AC type, I just went for the DC as thats how batteries output the power.
I am gonna get a batch made but if you would like to post the dimensioned drawing I have of the first design I’ll send over a pdf copy, then if anyone wants to have a go you need access to a mill and some type of innert material to make it from.

Like DogP says re-charables do work, I use them myself sometimes, but thier life is not as good as a decent set of duracells.
What you need is a PowerBoyDC, its an adaptor pad that a standard multivoltage DC adaptor plugs into this then slides down the back of the controller and powers your VB forever.
Where can you get one? Unfortunatly no-where currently, I am in the process of getting a batch of 10 made up and will inform the site when ready, could take a while as I have a load of work commitments to get shifted., but do have the parts and material bought ready for production.
I have a photo of the one I made for my VB, in my collection, and also a couple of renders of how it should look once I got a batch made.
Hope this helps 🙂

Hey DogP,
sounds like a place to start, I’ll see what I can do with the centre piece, it would be cool to have this all modelled up dimensionally accurate. Might take some time but its good to have a project to drop into whenever this work thing gets too much, modelling something interesting for a change.
Once I have the centre piece done I’ll send you a copy, 🙂

That sounds feasible, I will do some 3D modelling and take it from there, thanks for the pointer to DogP posts,
🙂

Hey KR155E, thanks for looking, I guess I will be doing some measuring.
Would there be a way of putting in a wireframe 3D model to view on the VB, I have seen the one on Red Alarm but I am thinking of alot more detailed view to rotate around and zoom into and out of, maybe with filled polygons?
🙂

Cool thats another project for my solidworks.
Are there any dimensioned drawings in existence? I can measure mine but if there are any official ones around a copy would go down a treat.
I can add in the PowerBoyDC too.
Have fun

hey realwws,
in that case what an awesome thing to have, I hope that my post did not offend in any way. Its good to hear its been checked independently, good luck in your shop venture, if I am ever over in Netherlands and near I will surely make a visit.
Have fun,
*HT*

I am so unsure of these things, not that i could ever afford it but its sad to think someone might pay alot for a fake.
Not that i know it to be fake or anything like that but it gets my suspicons roused.

Go on show us your Mario World demo, think of it as a Christmas treat for VB fans. A photo of that cart will get quite a few people sweating if it is Mario World and not Clash or Wario.

Hallo xxx, They are opened but all are in very good, almost new condition. if you are interested in only one or two of the games, i will have separate auction for each, all in similar condition. thanks for asking – neonihonsei

Hey, thanks for that but i really can’t go for any more until next year now, also I have a feeling one or two if those titles might appear under the tree for christmas from my wife. Have fun, *HT*

Hi Murfo can we all nip over to Japan with you and pick up a few copies, shall we pop over there tonight, oh no I got a library book to return we’ll do it in the morning hey I’ll collect my dry cleaning on the way?
Sorry I was a little sarcastic there but you can’t really compare buying them in a shop in Japan (even if you are lucky enough to either be there or go there) to getting them online & delivered to Holland.

Consider myself a gamer, but judging by the age of some of these and that I still own my originals most with boxes and all thier games guess I am a collector too.
Only console not purchased around its release time is VB and having just got one a couple months ago I am loving true 3D depth gaming.
