I noticed we were good to go on the donations just as I had to leave my house. So there was a bit of a delay, but I have sent my donation now.

Yep. Just sent my donation.

Cheers Matthew.

Only just seen this, but I’d gladly chip in some money.

An excellent idea.

Would it cover all homebrew or just completed projects? I suppose it depends on what’s availible but I just wonder if something could potentially win for two different years.

So I assume the person who voted ‘no’ is the one who owns a copy 😛

When that Bound High went up for sale I was quite surprised by the amount of people who said “oh yeah I know about this dump” so it wouldn’t surprise me if there is a Dragon Hopper (and some other goodies) floating about too.

If a lot of money was spent aquiring them I can understand the reluctance to just give the rom away but It’d be good if we could get a small sample of any unreleased items, like we’ve had with the videos of Bound High or the screenshots of Faceball.

Wasn’t the rom of Mike Tyson’s Intergalactic Power Punch released after recieving donations? Could this work for VB stuff, or do you think it’d be open for abuse?

Also availible here:

Ran it through Babelfish and it appears to be a book about his time at Nintendo, covering everything like the Ultra Hand, Game & Watch, Game Boy and of course Virtual Boy.

Mine didn’t 😕 Doesn’t matter though as I had one lying around. I padded/loaded some commercial roms just to check I knew what I was doing (I do, phew) but have so far just been playing homebrew.
Aside from recently when voting in the coding competition I’d never bothered with VB emus (and thus homebrew) so I’ve got a lot of new VB stuff to sample 🙂

Ooo, I like. Payment sent. 🙂

^That’s Great news 🙂
Looking foward to some FlashBoy-goodness.

Yep. Also Tron was released this year (not 1998).

There’s something I like about all of the entries which is making distributing my 10 points difficult. I see that as a good thing though.

^That would explain it lol. OK, trying Red Dragon…

Sounds exciting but doesn’t work for me. Is it just a emu problem? I’m using Reality Boy (don’t have a Flash Boy yet).

Yes they are rarer as the US boxes were just for display purposes. Not sure about how much you should pay. I seem to recall getting mine for ~40GBP though I have no idea if that is usual or not.

Of the prototypes known to exist, Dragon Hopper is actually the one that excites me the least. I’d still grin like an idiot if a special internet edition turned up though. 🙂

Looks good – and yes the demo for newbies would be much appreciated.:)

To stop us wasting so much money on batteries.

But if you really want to enjoy 10 minutes of play time, there’s a battery pack on eBay here:
