I tried searching the whole site and cannot find the ROM to Bound High. If there is not a ROM available, then why are there passwords listed in the game’s profile? I’m confused.

why do people want bound high so much?
I prefer to play full games of some non finished homebrew games like Super Mario, Mario kart: virtual cup (if creator adds original levels) and Silent Hill: Devil’s Lyric way more then bound high
Simple: most people don’t even have the opportunity to play Bound High!, let alone the other unreleased VB titles. It all stems from curiosity and being able to play something most people haven’t played.
…but would it really kill the owners of unreleased betas/full games to, y’know, maybe post a video or two of the game in action? Like maybe 30 seconds or so? I highly doubt posting a video of Dragon Hopper in action would destroy the game’s value, so what gives?
It seems that anything can be obtained with enough money.
Since nobody’s kind enough to offer up the game, us “regular VB gamers” could each offer up a sum of cash for a public dump and sooner or later, it’ll (hopefully) be enough to attract collectors who would gladly trade the copy for a bunch of dough to buy some rarer beta. Yeah, it does have some faults (people could change their mind about giving, etc). But isn’t it worth a shot?
I currently can afford to offer up 20$, I’m too young for a job, and still have Christmas shopping to do. The beta traded doesn’t even have to be bound high, if somebody had Zero Racers, Faceball, or even the elusive Dragon Hopper, I’m sure 90% of people interested would still donate. If every active person on this site offered a couple dollars, we’d have a fairly large sum of money.
And there’s got to be some collector out there somewhere who could be persuaded to change their mind…
So far, JackFrost and I have offered up 90$, anyone else care to join?

I would happily put in $70 too.
And i too would be happy with any of them ROMS mentioned, so long as they play proper, that is the whole point for me, to play them on hardware, not emulated.
Nice to have the glitchy bound high rom but if you can’t play/finish the game on hardware its not fair to release that dump and expect folks to stump up bucks for it.
I completely agree with you, I’m ok to give $70 whatever the game (Bound High, Dragon Hopper or Zero Racer).
It would be cool if someone who owns those games could read us and answer our wishes.
Whoever owns the ROM could set up a page on Kickstarter and then people could pledge their money. Set a price, and if the money is pledged by the deadline, BINGO, release the rom!
I don’t see how someone could lose…heck, you could even make a TON of money if enough people are excited about getting the rom released!
As cool as it’d be to get dumps this way, I would hold my hopes up. I hate collectors who hold onto stuff and wont share. Part of me hopes they get bitrot.
Saying that, I’d be more than happy to put up $100 (or more) if we had a confirmation that it’d mean we’d get a copy of BH/DH/whatever.
…This kickstarter thing, if it doesn’t eventuate do we get our money back, or does whoever sets up the program flee with all our cash?
What’s the point of getting a dump if there is no *good* Virtual Boy emulator and about 93 percent of people don’t have flash carts who’d like to play it? I don’t want to start anything but it made me think.
the problem is that bound high rom is not playable on the flashboy, but plays fine emulated, pretty sure the rom is from the source code and not from an actual dump.
Emulation doesn’t even have decent sound so I have to use real hardware and if I don’t have the game, tough shit, I’ll buy it.
And I personally don’t condone using carts for donors, but if you do that’s your business just leave me out of it. I may even buy lots just to stop people from doing it.

What is your problem against it? Could you please explain? I have no clue why it would be a problem, so please educate me! This is in no way meant as an offense, I just don’t get it.
The thing is, a cart that has been converted can still play the original game exactly as it was. The only thing I don’t like is the use of brand new games, I would prefer the games with the torn labels and beat up cases get used. I guess the question would be, would people still buy a FlashBoy if it was in a well used case? And the other problem would be the cnnector could be wore out (but most likely not).
