These are up on Mercari Japan. VB game flyers. Not sure if they’re authentic or not but they claim 1995.

That’s the idea. It’s just a lot more development work on multiple fronts so I keep pushing it back to work on other things. But feels like 2021 is the year.

I actually have a designed PCB but I never built it. But given HF32 work, I want to go back to the drawing board and change some things.

I believe there’s a new effort on Zelda for VB. Someone playing around in the background. I cannot find the info though. They’re on Discord.

Mumphy, I imagine you like this when you’re working on eInk labels. Amazing.

HyperFlash32 is a product on its own. I’m the developer.

You’re likely referring to MultiBoy32, which is my plan for a true multicart. Still on the list for 2021 but HF32 is real now and shipping.

These are awesome. Great job!

Thanks Candice! Glad you like the cart. Nice work on the video. Very professional.

Nice! Thanks for posting this.

Very cool. I have a aluminum shell from Tony as well. They’re super cool.

Awesome work. I love the white labels. Thanks for sharing these!

Here’s a COTS connector solution that I just got. It may also work. Mechanically its fine. Electrically it needs biased to one side to make sure the contacts make full contact. Trying to find one with a tighter pin socket to eliminate the biasing. But I could make this work, if I had to.

And just to update the previous conversations from above, donors are now ~$30 plus shipping and still rising. Doubled in price in less than a year.

Here is Hedgetrimmers new connector on a cart. Electrically works perfectly. Mechanically my flash chip is too tall since the connector centers the PCB now. However, if I used my flash from HF32, then it would fit in a normal VB case. Very cool stuff.

The connector feels good and sturdy as well. You could make carts with these.

Here’s the last prize going to RMZK. Thanks everyone for a great contest!

Maybe post it on PlanetVB?

I did build those free HF32 carts for the 1st place contest winners. Here are two for TheRedMenance and VirtuousRage that are shipping tomorrow.
These are from the prototype batch so there’s a few dings on them that won’t be on the production units. And TheRedMenance requested the older red cover.

I downloaded this rom from the links and there’s some javascript stuff appended to the end of the vb file. Becareful. Not that it would run on a VB but there’s function calls for a Javascript listener function that is supposed to launch at load time. Found it when debugging why it crashed HF32 after Fwow13 noticed it.

And production units are shipping now. Just shipped the first 2. 🙂

I wanted to post some pics here as most of the information on my HyperFlash32 project has been on the PlanetVB Discord. Just in case people circle back here in the future, prototypes are now being shipped and the first production unit is half assembled on my desk now. Here’s a few pictures of carts that have already shipped to people.

I probably have some as well.
