the hyper fighting (SFII) ROM is currently the only one that would not work (too large). it has not been dumped or released (yet — hopefully never — sorry — biased). meaning, everything currently released will indeed work. you’ll need to pad some games to 2MB with the VB padding tool. it is the same way for all commercially released roms, and their hacks and translations.
I suppose I support not releasing the rom, mainly because there are people that don’t want it released, and I totally respect the reasons that they have. I wouldn’t be angry should it be decided that it’s allowed to be released, though.
All that being said, the demo of Hyper Fighting fits on the Flashboy, and is still very fun. Because the homebrew section only contains the demo, it means everything in the homebrew section here will work on the flashboy.
Weird, he mentions that a racing game on the VB would cause headaches. Funny how VB racing and *gasp* Mario kart virtual cup don’t seem to be a problem. Imagine battle mode on the VB..watching a shell coming flying toward you, hitting you, and a bunch of coins flying in every direction, including towards the player.
Ok, well I’ll probably get started on that tomorrow sometime, get some write-ups for a few of the games done. I’ll message KR155E when I’ve got it completed.
Yeah that would be a good spot. I know I read through the game reviews when looking at the potential games I wanted.
I don’t want to step on your toes here either, I was at work and didn’t quite read your full post. If you do have the time and are willing to I’ll let you do it. If however you don’t feel like doing it then I can step in.
That’s a good idea, Ben. It wouldn’t be hard to do either, just someone with a bit of time to play through the games and to do a writeup. Maybe take a couple pictures to give an idea of what the text is like. I could even do it if no one else is already planning to

Also I dont know if the foam visor would be sturdy enough to not just collapse on your face.
I don’t think the stock visor is sturdy enough either. Either a new, stiffer replacement would need to be attached, or maybe there’s a way to strengthen the regular one. Possibly something that fits “over” (around?) it, if that makes sense.
I’m hoping that, as well as the strap that hugs the lower back of the head, would be enough to support it.
I remember reading Red Metal’s posts. He had so much enthusiasm towards his Snatcher project. It was very saddening to hear the news..
This really is amazing Thunderstruck. Seriously, good on you for bringing his project to life. I’m sure this would have put the biggest smile on his face.
