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.

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.

They’re all sold out until next year.  I can put your email down on the interest list for the next batch.

Great. I just sent you a PM with my email as well on another topic. We can discuss via email and I can contact HedgeTrimmer and see what he thinks. He has the latest files.

That’s not likely with them being hand built. Labor cost is too high. You have to hand stuff 60 pins. :-S

Yes, I have the Hedgetrimmer prototypes. They look awesome but I haven’t built a cart with them yet. It’s on the list.

And yes prices are going up. Wow.

That was the original plan as well (VB as a stretch goal). I didn’t learn that until after I had been donating and it came up in a conversation with the developer.

The latest iteration. Updated connector from my 3D printed extension design. SNES plug and power switch are purchased parts.

I stopped backing when I found out VB support was only a stretch goal and PC was the main intended platform.

Oh, are e-mails preferred over PMs?

Anything is fine but emails are instant to my phone. PM’s I have to login and check. 🙂 However, I also check PlanetVB, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit. Discord on I’m on all the time. I try to be available.

Registered for this site just for this topic. I have a furrtek-installed virtual tap in my VB and have been looking for a flashcart solution for ages.

how can I get on this mailing list? Have orders already been taken?

Thanks for reaching out. Please contact me at mellottsvrpage@gmail.com. Thanks!

I’m building some more of these SNES to VB adapters if people are interested. Very small run but a few people are asking.

Great work! I’m already using it as a reference.
