oh wow, that's what i was looking for!

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

no, i said they weren't released, not that they were never dumped. they are dumped, and a few people have those roms, but they're not publically available since the people who dumped their games did not want the roms to be released to not endanger the value of their games.

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

ALL games are tested and working, including those three.

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

All except these 4 rare ones have been released:

SD Gundam

Space Invaders

Virtual Bowling

Virtual Lab

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

Right, but don't forget that a ROM of Gundam has not been released yet.

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

No, there are some more. Games with SRAM are:

3D Tetris

Galactic Pinball

SD Gundam Dimension War

Teleroboxer

Virtual Boy Wario Land

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

yay, good news! there's quite some excitement on the pvb forums about the flashboy, i can tell you. it will have its impact.

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

no sorry, i don't know of any macalan, or a flash cart. you say he posted on the pvb forums? by which name? did you ever receive any test cart?

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

i did some more work on the label, added the wavey form on top and a higher res vb logo, and replaced the pixelated vb with a render, here are two more designs. personally i prefer the first one with the head unit only over the second one. ^_^

 

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

cool that you guys like it! the second one is my personal favorite as well.

 

the pixelated vb was used on purpose, but i could try replacing it with an image of a real vb or a render. when i have the time, i will also polish up the virtual boy logo on the left (this is a beta vb logo from late' 94/early '95 btw), it just doesn't look perfect yet.

 

so do you only need a cart label or also box art, richard? i could also try making a box design based on the label if needed.

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

some ideas:

 

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

SEXY!

i'd love to get my hands on a test cart.

now that it's working i guess i'm gonna post a news article about it.

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

uh nice, i'd be willing to test it too.

how about a short preview on planet virtual boy?

[Virtual Boy Multicart?]

no, afaik they aren't altered in any way.
