Um… The oven trick does work. I have two non-soldered VBs to prove it. So, I wouldn’t flat out say that. I would not do the oven trick unless you’ve done your research though. And yes you already did the solder method, which means you probably didn’t do it right, I’m sorry to say. Typically it’s oven trick first, then solder. Or solder first by someone on here.

Well, I can make high quality scans of everything, if you want that, and then anyone could make and print out their own copies of each if they like. I don’t think making and posting scans of everything would upset anyone.

Lol,upset anyone! says the guy who provided 10k+ for the creation of most wanted VB title. Subtle man sublte 🙂 you sir can do whatever you. Lol.

Awesome Vince, very cool. Are you still using retail connectors or have you found alternatives?

That’s really cool, I’d love to see the platformer completed. Would donations help?

Thunder, any update on this by chance? We could also play thru the English game and start screen grabbing and writing down dialogue.

You’re the best. Very cool as expected. Still testing it, just got my cable.

Got the cable. I need another VB now to test my two HF carts. Thanks again.

Sounds good ty.

I like that they are charging $749 for HF, yet they put it on a freaking pillow lol.

me too. I have a box design up, that you can use if you’d like or as a template, up to you.

Okay, I guess a better way to have phrased my original question would have been “is someone still planning on making a USB cable?”.

I may be interested in this. Anyone have more detail on the linkport inner workings and what it can do beyond what the wiki mentions? Can I completely control the VB through this port? What’s the command structure?

I think it would be cooler if someone just made a USB adapter that plugged into the board and allowed you to select 1P or 2P via a switch and you could provide your own USB cable, so it could be as long as technically allowed. I started working on something like this, but didn’t get too far.

I’d drop a couple of hundred, if it produced a solid game, I’m still amazed that Ben padded it all himself (ty btw). My wife would kill me.

How much did you pay StereoBoy?

I paid around $85.

So, looking at the cable build from here, I’d suggest we look into using these to build the ends.

Tusk is on it. No idea when it will happen. Glad you like it though. It was awful to make.

Oh I know, I started translating it, and got a few lines edited in game done. I quit lol

Is there open slots for the cable? I guess I missed this and im interested.

I have the ROM, if you know who wants it released

Damn that’s a lot of work. I just did the SNES adapter route and used a SNES advantage stick. Nice job.

Great work, my only request would be to see if uncle tusk can provide you a copy of the other boxes made, so your design will match what many of us already have. If you do this, and uncle tusk requires a minimum order (he’s made my manuals and boxes before), I’d definitely order. Good luck.
