Milled FR4 cart cases. I had a few prototypes made. It’s a shame the milled edges don’t have a clean black color. But these are cheap to have made. These are pictures the supplier sent me. They’re being shipped to me now. Maybe they could be airbrushed or something like that…

Here are the latest on-screen images. Looking good. The plane reflection on Red Alarm is genius. I see the land in the background of WaterWorld as well. 🙂

I’ll start filling in ones I know, but anyone with link access can modify it.

The document is ‘View only’ when I go into it, but regardless, besides the ones you put down of mine (most of them), I also did labels for Golf, Nester’s Funky Bowling, Panic Bomber, SD Gundam Dimension War, Space Invaders Virtual Collection, and Virtual Boy Wario Land. It should be accurate at least for my stuff when those are added :).

You’re right. Thanks. Should be fixed now.

This may not be the best venue but I’d like to try it and see how it goes. An experiment.

Here’s a google spreadsheet link to show what labels for HyperFlash32 are available. The idea is to put names of people that have labels under “Label Available” in the hope to easily see what labels have NOT been generated.

I made an account just to follow this (wish I knew how to support these projects and help out!). I just got my first Virtual Boy and am working on repairing the eye ribbons soon.

I am excited to find this site with some good projects/support still out there for the VB. I will definitely be ordering one of these HyperFlash32s when it’s available. Hopefully I can snag 2-3.

Thanks for checking it out! Definitely sign up for the PlanetVB Discord channel if you want to keep up on the latest news.

OK, got cleaner edges on the latest clear sample parts. These are usable.

Now to find the funding to have the back side mold made.

The cracked one is unique and fun.

Thanks Mumphy!

Great work on the labels. The idea here is to have a coherent set of default labels for released games. I think this will also help people who are less technically inclined and may not be as comfortable switching labels or creating their own. And as Mumphy said, you can replace them if you’d like.

Part of the idea of HyperFlash is to allow customization; if you’re compelled to do so. So far this includes being able to switch out labels and update firmware with future releases. I’m also thinking about allowing font table updates but details are still TBD on that one.

They come in waves

I was really hoping to use the Virtual Boy font as well on HyperFlash but unfortunately gray shades don’t work for partial updates and fonts. I tried just a binary black/white version but it didn’t translate well.

Congratulations to all the winners!

I reworked the shading of my Mario Clash label to hopefully be easier to read.

It’s been really fun seeing how everyone’s designs work on an E-Ink display! Thank you Mellott for running the contest and for showing us how they look. 🙂

Cheers,
Ben

Does look nicer. You were tied for a 3rd place position actually with this label. It was a tough decision. I spent about 4 hours going back over all the labels and re-evaluating them.

Great job.

OK, results are in.

I wanted to control the presentation so I made a new page on my site for the results. It allowed better control of the imagery.

Also accessible via my main page via a post update:

Here’s the last two. Both very cool.

The Mario Clash one maps really nicely to the display. The brick colors and dithering play very nicely with the various shades. And I love the modified Do-Do character.

I actually just got up. Had a late night working. I’ll draw the line here.
A lot of great entries. I’ll have a post tonight with my selections. Thanks!

And Stereoboy. The graphics are really clean on the display. Was portrait intentional? The white background label is a nice contrast to a lot of the other labels. Nice job.
