The app is pretty much great as is, but can I request a few changes?

There is a filename limit on the Hyperflash32 (games can be added via Hyperflasher, and labels and icons chosen etc – which in turn copies the item to the SD card) but the Hyperflash then does not show it on the Menu if the filename is too long.
Can you do a filename check when adding roms to ensure they will correctly appear and not be hidden due to file length? (a warning ‘Filename too long!’, or similar)?

There is no way to ‘Delete’ a rom after it has been added, from within the menu.
After time I am sure the programming demos will be of little interest to me (see them once, sort of thing) and I would want to remove them from the Cart.

There is no ‘Exit’ (only close the window from the ‘X’). perhaps an option to ‘Exit’, or ‘Eject the SD card and ‘Exit’ the program to prevent possible corruption of SD cards?

lastly, include the ‘alternative’ artworks as selectable from within the app.?

Apart from that, it is a Great tool that makes it so much easier to populate the amazing Hyperflash32.

many thanks,
Arthur.

As the cartridge will now be black and not red, will the artwork get slightly ‘lost’?

The examples superimposed against the red cartridge mockup look great.

Yippie!

Will you post production / assembly images when you are starting to put these together?

Eagerly awaiting receiving mine as and when.

PCBs have finally shipped for the mechanical for test. Should be here next week.

Looking for either a quote for repair (well, my unit works but want to future proof) against glue issues on the ribbons, in the USA, or someone in Europe.

I would probably invest in the screwdrivers to open and remove the display units, as I have had this since it was released (shipped from the states to the UK) and am super protective of my beloved VB.

Price for work and return shipping to England please?

My email is arthur_gill@hotmail.com

Many thanks in advance for the above and if possible from the community, personal recommendations, as I see a few people offering their services. What was the quality of work like when you got your display units back?

I also recently received my cart, and what a great item this is. Professionally put together, with software included (even some homebrew titles to test).
Not the cheapest, but this is a fan project… that aside the attention to detail is flawless. The packaging is particularly impressive and worthy of Nintendo’s seal of approval all by itself. I have found no problems or complaint whatsoever, with the service and product delivered in a very timely manner.

Thanks, and a pat on the back to all parties included in creating a vital addition to the Virtualboy community.

Regards,
Arthur.

As someone who donated 2 games, yes… if anyone out there can offer up carts for the project….. *please* do!

Just think, you offer carts, and then have the opportunity to play games you currently *don’t* have…
I personally can’t wait to try space invaders, and try out the homebrew stuff.
