I’m starting to think we should do the same for Space Pinball to be honest…

I’m guessing it’s a private listing for new and unopened games. Why people need to go through eBay though…

I picked up a mosaic demo tap the other week 🙂
I had the same thing as Benjamin, but, as a regular customer I insisted he send me a demo tap and he did.

He has none left now, I already checked.

Benjamin I think that’s the most astute case for dumping carts I ever saw. In the case of Space Pinball, i was dumped, but it was also kept quiet which I find quite odd. In some ways I’d prefer a rare cart owner to just keep the cart rather than dump a backup and share with a few sworn to secrecy.

Either way it’s a sore discussion because prototypes can go for such ridiculous amounts of money. I’m not sure quite where I stand, but I think all historic games should be at least backed up.

My personal peev is when I see folks on assembler or Digital Press trying to sell a protoype ROM for the same amount they bought the cart for, with no fundraiser option or preview as to what the cart is. To me, that’s the sign of a scammer.

Text and everything usual will be in Japanese. I’ll probably share the template so you could switch it out if you wanted though. I’d like a cart with whatever this website feels best, but I also wanted to create a Japanese style box, label (and manual if possible!) to go along with following the examples set by Galactic Pinball.

I might even give it a Japonesque name like ‘Galactic Pinball Zero’ 🙂

Very nice! I still prefer the VirtualBoy-branded hardcase, though it’s ncie to see this one as trivia.

I’m a famicom collector, Sharp Titlers used to be available (new) for around $300 if you knew where to look but now because all the NES collectors want to rip out the video component you’re lucky if you can find one for double that…

I’d vote for a Vectrex because it’s pretty unique (and has homebrew projects/demos) and Minestorm also makes a flashcart for it 🙂

Forgot to say I’m making Japanese labels & box for this, the Flashboy and Bound High! if people are interested.
Been stupidly busy and have had to put them off but the template is pretty much together now.

Japanese techno is obese, period! 🙂

Seeing as you mention it, I hope to show you guys something special in about 6 weeks 🙂

Haha, I have a bunch of carts coming tomorrow for the exact same thing.

However, that label really needs clearing up. I’ll have a go and repost if people want that option.

Please let us know if you get a response, I’m quite excited too!

Great little image in that case, I like how it sums up the different ‘zones’ in the cave he goes into 😀

-2048 unique graphic tiles in memory at once, used by:
–1024 simultaneous 8×8 pixel sprites, no scanline limitations
–32 backgrounds (up to 4 less if all sprites are used)
-Backgrounds are also often used as huge sprites themselves, since they can be moved around freely in relation to each other…

…As you can see, the tile/sprite engine is pretty generous on the VB, compared to NES/GB.

Thanks Dan!

So, just to be clear does that mean you can have 32 backgrounds in place simultaneously, or stored in banks?

Is there really no limit to the amount of sprites on screen at once? 1024 seems a hell of a lot considering the resolution! 🙂

Is the 32 BG rule for memory banks or simultaneously?

Thanks again for answering here, this is really appreciated and I hope to have something to show for it quite soon…

I think we should get this order in asap really, or are we waiting for new interest? Looks like we have 21 orders by the looks of it now. Push for 30?

I picked a 300w step-down up from Maplins earlier today, they have them for £24.99 or you can get a much smaller one (that was always fine with my famicom) for I think £14.99.

Is the main image from the manual? I really like it!

US is 110v and JP is 100v I thought, but it’s safe.

Well that was unexpected… A big thank you, seriously.

Can we start the fund up for Faceball 2000 now instead?

Thanks for all of these! I’ve been playing them over Christmas while brushing my teeth in the morning (can’t without music) and the family love them.

I’ve been asked multiple times now
“what’s this?”
– do you like it? (muffled)
“Yes.”
