the email field holds up to 60 chars, so this should not be the problem. weird. which browser are you using? did you try to register with the same email you are registered with now?

i am using a digital camera. i remove the eyeshade and hold the camera directly in front of one of the red “glass blocks”. i also turn off the flashlight. finally i remove all the black space around the actual screenshot, which is a pretty small portion in the middle of the whole photo, in photoshop and fix up brightness a bit if necessary.

First of all, welcome Nessie and thanks for the kind words (To you other guys as well! :-D)! Also thanks for your ideas. Here’s some thought about them:

I agree to the guys that there’s no point in expanding the site to other topics. We would lose focus. This site is about everything VB related, nothing else.

Competitions definitely are a good thing to breathe some more life into the scene and also get some attention from outside of it, attract new people and so on.

A while ago I had the idea to replace the Coding Competition with a yearly awarded “Homebrew of the year“. Since then I was wondering whether I should do it like that or just have another Coding Compo later this year.

We could also have Highscore competitions, but I am not sure how to do it. This would help fill the highscore lists, bring some activity, but we’d need a way to find a winner.

Any other ideas for competitions?

New batches can be added easily. Ideas for new types of batches are always welcome!

I don’t know what you are talking about, just wanted to say that it’s good to see you’re still active, jorge! I was a bit worried after I did not get a response to my last email. 😉

danke!

nintendo deutschland wird sich wahrscheinlich nicht um virtual boy module kümmern, die ja hier gar nicht rauskamen. versuchs mal mit dem guten alten in-die-kontakte-pusten. 😉 sonst wüsste ich auch nicht, klingt eigentlich nach einem defekten vb, aber da sonst bei keinem spiel diese probleme auftreten… keine ahnung.

für nen flashboy müsstest du dich hinten einreihen, es sind noch ein paar leute auf der warteliste. soll ich dir mal einen vormerken?

Warum zweimal derselbe Thread?

Was mir spontan einfallen würde, wäre die Kontakte des Spielmoduls zu reinigen. Dass der rechte Screen wirklich nur bei dem Spiel spinnt und alle anderen fehlerfrei laufen kann aber eigentlich nicht sein… Wie sieht der Bildfehler denn aus? Kannst du einen Screenshot posten?

Noch ein Tipp: Auf English posten! Dann können dir potentiell viel mehr Leute weiterhelfen. 😉

Well, I’d place my bets on your first assumption.

Everyboy who wants a new box as a replacemant for the old one: I am trading a fully assembled box for two of your spare carts (loose, but with the dust cover). As a little bonus, I’ll also include a Quick Reference Card, which older FlashBoys did not come with. PM me, if anyone’s interested. 🙂

You’re already at the source, my friend. 😉 Games > Released > [game] > Multimedia > Audio. If we don’t have what you need, the best way to record stuff yourself is through the VB’s headphone out. Of course, games played on the FlashBoy work (and sound) exactly the same as original games. I mean, why shouldn’t they?

If you record and/or remix anything, please don’t forget to submit that stuff. 🙂

Cool avatar, btw!

One more delay, we are trying out new, shiny, better looking cart labels. Due to that (and busy real life), I expect Batch 6 to be ready in 2 weeks.
Sorry for the delays guys, but we want to make sure that you get the best package possible. 🙂

Still working on the game, Chris?

I have just tested the game on my FlashBoy. Nothing to complain really, it plays exactly like on Reality Boy, and the speed is perfect. 🙂

Here’s photos of a finished box. The size is exactly the same as a retail game box, and the cart sleeve works nicely. 🙂

Yes, it’s possible. Due to the big interest we’ll probably continue making them for another while. But maybe you’ll be lucky and get one from the current batch. I will put your name on the list and let you know when your FlashBoy is ready.

A FlashBoy is 85 Euro, shipping to the Netherlands is 5 Euro (incl. 20 Euro insurance) or 17 Euro (full insurance).

150? Krass. Ich biete seit langem Space Squash für 45 Euro hier im Marktplatz an. Da kann mal sehen, wie sehr es sich lohnen kann, sich gründlich umzusehen… Also… es gibt nur eine Version, aber eine riesige Differenz zwischen den Preisen in Deutschland und denen in Japan.

And now we want to switch back to english, so everybody can understand us, right? 🙂

I can’t make the list public, but everybody who told me he wants a FlashBoy is on it, and you can ask me personally where on the list you are. But it really is a lottery, because you never know how many people change their mind. 😉 Well, I assume that everybody, whos on my list at the moment, (a bit over 20) will get a FlashBoy from Batch 6.

BTW, if anyone has some spare loose carts (with dust covers) or loose dust covers to donate for (a) possible future batch(es), I’d really appreciate that. 🙂

I currently have 40 box prints, so I can send you guys some for a few bucks a piece. Shipping will be the more expensive part, costing 6 EUR.

The white thing is a cart holder, a replacement for that bulky official one. The thought was to glue it to the inside of the box and put the cart in it, this way I will only need loose carts for future flashboys (= a bit cheaper). I have not build a box yet, though, so I am not sure if this really works. I will post pics of a built box soon.

About the warning… I just don’t want to get sued by people who don’t get the joke. 😉

on the weekend or earlier, but i will only have a handful of units completely finished, because i still need more pcbs and cart stickers for the others.

d’oh, i had to push back building the boxes to the next weekend.

the vb artwork was made by a japanese guy whose name i can’t remember right now. he made a lot of those icons, which you can find all over the web now.

hm, i could get more boxes made, if you people want replacements for your older flashboy boxes?

cool! how did you take them? do you own a stereo camera? i have no glasses here to view them right now, unfortunately.

Very nice, thanks Spindick (and Garrison)! I will now need to find a good way to include translated articles on the page. You can find high res scans of other articles here:
http://www.vr32.de/modules/articles/?s159001 (18 pages, high res)
http://www.vr32.de/modules/articles/?s162002 (2 pages, very low res)
