I use game gear cases since I had the same problem and it was suggested to me here. Now, they don’t fit perfectly, but you can still cram your games in there

Didn’t you post that exact joke last April Fools’ Day?

It says マスター出し用 (Master Version?) at 0x０ＦＦＤＣ０ in the rom.

Actually, the old glue would need to be removed completely before that would work. At least with my one vb (I got 2 by now *happy*) it was like that. Cooking them in the oven was really safe, although I was nervous, too. I think it really depends on how your cables look. It really needs to be tightly fixed though. I fixed my one halfassedly and after two weeks of intensive gameplay it became glitchy again. So I had to redo it and now I just use the other one, although my “original” is fixed

I have some of these cards too. So, yeah, I guess it is a feedback kind of thing

Nice going there. It’s really cool to see how creative people can be at times

I installed NoScript for Firefox lately, and it helps me bug off some nasty bad javascript things. And then, you have to explicitly turn it off, so that’s kind of a reminder how many webpages simply rely on java script… I don’t like java script simply for security reasons

They show up, but they don’t work as intendet (pictures won’t change). I’ll just activate java for the time being, however, I’m convined CSS is more suitable for the left menu…

Update!

So I bought 10 Game Gear cases off of ebay and it seems like the only kind that fits vb games (withough the black security bottom) are the american-made versions of the cases. The Japanese are a bit too small… Just to let you know…

Now I’m stuck on 8 Japanese Game Gear cases, dammit

Well it doesn’t depend so much if the rubber glue at the top is tight as it depends on how much the cable sticks to the board (under the rubber glue). Are you sure it is plugged in properly?

Cooking up to 200° F can’t really hurt it… but it might not be too got either…
It’s one or the other, you decide

Aber ich brauch ja immer noch irgendwie genaue Info wonach ich suche.

But I still need some clearer info what I’m looking for…

cYa,

Tauwasser

Oh, so that’s why I couldn’t find any

You sure it’s GG cases? I couldn’t find anything to back that up… And I don’t want to buy cases for nothing :-/

Well, there seem to be actual cases…

I mean the little plastic case similar to gameboy game cases…

Well. I’d actually be very interested in dev but my technical skills as well as raw materials cannot fabricate a cart of some sort… So yeah, basically, that’s what’s keeping me from dev’ing.
I know there are emulators, but they are just to a certain extend really true to the render…

Sorry, linked the thumbnail code *duh*

Well. At the year before last year’s Games Convention in Leipzig (2005), there were special screens there. Some firm manufactured a driver that could tell apart and stuff. Then they had these cool displays and 0.5 to 1 meter away from it, you could really see these things STICKING out of the screens. They had some low-end games on display running the driver (you could play them in real 3d even). However, to me, it was just all in the works (kinda that feeling, you know). Nevertheless, one thing that struck me as totally off was that there were slight inaccuracies as well as the driver being slow (that’s why they used the low-end games).

So yeah, that’s about it. It was really impressive (they had like 5 17″ screens and 1 big 20″ screen on display), however, never heard of them again :-/ Kinda makes one wonder, doesn’t it?

Hi there. For some reason (forum update?) this system seems to work correctly now :D:D

Well, did you try waiting long enough? It literally takes like 5 to 10 seconds to boot up. Also, turn the volume up if you did not already and wait. I thought mine was completely dead too, because I kept switching it off prior to letting it boot up.

Also, see the thing about repairing the led array cables.

Well, not to spoil your enthusiasm, but programming isn’t that easy. Are you sure you have had enough experience already to start such a big project? Programming esp. for handhelds and so on is pretty hard, because of hardware limitations, too.
