I’m in alignment with those that question the validity of this cart. I’m damn near 100% sure this is a homemade cart. If it is, then it was compiled from the source code and has a massive ram leak that will take quite a while to fix up. Unless, of course, you’ve fixed the ram leak. If thats the case, its still not worth the money. Other than that I doubt you have an actual copy. Maybe you’re unaware of it and were ripped off. I’ve come across only one real copy of the game and I know, for a fact, that it was not sold to anyone.

Edit: Perhaps this is a joke. The thread topic does say ‘boung high’…with a G.

you should have said that was a much more rare game pictured. we never could have disproved it.

what n64 emulator works so well? i always have terrible luck with those things.

to some people it is…i guess. not to me, though.

that black piece usually comes with an eyeshade when you buy it.

that cart looks phony as hell to me. the label is completely gone and the dip switch looks like someone crudely cut into a random cart. i would NOT bid on that.

nice. it runs well. i did have one problem, though. the sound was going waaay slower than the actual gameplay. i messed with some options which would make the sound slower or gameplay faster, but not the other way around. just a heads up.

could it be done by sacrificing one screen? the 3d effect of the two screens being held sideways sounds like it wouldnt work well and wouldnt be playable, due to the button layout, anyway.

god, i wish i could get that PSP one working. i have NEVER gotten a game to run on it. anyone?

i wouldnt let that comment make you feel like an ass. i can’t understand it fully, but it seems like all of the burning of fake eproms for profit and the releasing of the roms for free are pretty opposite of one another. if anything it seems like the release of the roms would stop an unfair trade.

and as for this affecting the unreleased games. who knows. i’m sure people will tighten their grip on what they have, but the grip being tighter doesnt mean it was loose enough for the unreleased games to ever be shared to begin with. the alure of having a rom of a released game is nothing compared to an unreleased game. i doubt we will ever see most of what people have, regardless of these four roms being leaked.

and i do still think people are holding onto such things to be assholes. well, assholes was your word, not mine. i think its more along the lines of elitists. what that guy said only makes the situation seem more convoluted. all the more reason to expose to the light.

i’m kind of confused with your post. i do understand some of what you’re saying, but not all of it. i can appreciate your need to be secretive, but perhaps a little more insight could be shared.

i’ve never seen his name actually written in japanese, but judging from the romaji, its probably gunpei. there is no character for a basic ‘m’ ending sound in japanese, but there is one for ‘n’. the ‘mu’ character could be shortened down to lose the ‘u’ sound on it, but it wouldn’t be written that way.

again, without seeing it in actual japanese i cant be certain. but i’m pretty sure i’m correct in saying its gunpei.

i’ll say they’re tied.

i used to play that game so much. i remember i had it down so i could get a strike every time. it was fun.

And I’m guessing I’ve been in the VB market a little longer than you jojobean… I’ve been collecting since 2000. I’ve seen things go up, down, and fluctuate like crazy. But I have still never seen a Gundam sell for less than $600 or a Bowling for less than $750

i have no idea why you assume you have been in the vb market longer than i have dogp. not only was that an unjustified assumption; it was wrong. in 2000 is when i made my first step towards buying games that were a little more rare, such as insmouse and space squash. i was aware of the other games, i just didn’t have the means of purchasing them. so i think its safe to say i was in the market. also, you may be right in saying that you havent seen those two games go for less than those prices, but that doesnt mean thay dont. i bought both of those for less than those prices, and while i felt i was getting a deal, i didnt think the prices i bought them for were unheard of.

i would like to make mention, dogp, that i have been a personal collector of virtual boy items for quite some time. i have also had close interaction with many of its unreleased materials, as have you. my interactions, however, were the result of my working a marketing position for a video game company. as one could guess, marketing involves knowing the product market very well. so to assume that you are the authority on virtual boy is ridiculous. for me to assume it is ridiculous as well. i’ll give you all the credit in the world for your contributions to the virtual boy scene, but thats a bit different than what we’ve been talking about. while i dont agree with your assessment of the virtual boy market’s current financial structure, you’re entitled to your opinion. one thing you aren’t entitled to is trying to claim superiority over me in the existing virtual boy market by your false assumptions.

as far as i see it, i’m done arguing this. we’ve made our cases known and now we’re getting to a point of who’s the more uber collector. lets stop.

how many virtual boy games even sell for that much any more? i really think the financial expectations of these games has been exaggerated lately. i’ve been in the vb market for a long time and have seen these titles drop in price rather smoothly for years.

i think the rom release of the four rare games is troublesome to people because they are the last hold out of financial profit in the vb scene. there are few people willing to pay the prices of the unreleased prototypes and even fewer people who are willing to sell them. having been involved in it for quite some time, i think the unreleased vb trading market is stale as hell. i’ve gotten what i imagine i can get out of it with very little left that i even care about. dragon hopper is the only thing i would still really like to get my hands on but i dont see it happening because of the self-ascribed super-collector status of whoever has it.

that being said, i understand where the concerns of those who are worried about the games decreasing financial value lies. who would want the worth of their item to drop? nobody. unfortunately thats the case with these vb games. i can see why some people think the roms may be a large contributing factor but i cant agree with them. even though i own some really rare vb stuff i dont care if the value falls to nothing. i don’t like vb because its rare. i like it because its fun. in my mind its better that it becomes more easily accessible to anyone who wants it. nintendo is not making any more money off of it, so why should some hoarding collectors? perhaps if there was a large fan market for it online then nintendo would recognize this and utilize some of the vb titles, including the unreleased ones, on the virtual console.

as they say, if you love something, let it go (to shit in value).

amen.

theres a song in jack bros that i think is pretty sweet.

not to derail this, but there is a song, ‘the moon’ on the ducktales NES game that is really popular online. there are bands that rock out to it and what not.

i dont think jack bros or water world work as a direct comparison to the rare games, since the price is quite different, but they can at least relatively exemplify what i was talking about. we’ve both raised some good points, though i think its time to agree to disagree. regardless of anything, i only need one more of the four rares and i plan on getting it next time i see it for sale.

i’m not arguing about those space pinballs being fake or not. i’ll take your word on that. i do, however, think that water world and jack bros are completely relevant. they exemplify exactly what we’re talking about. we can’t completely predict the way prices will fluctuate. also, as i stated before, the price of the carts for the four rare japanese games has been steadily dropping even before the release of the roms.

so if some games that are more widely available in both physical and rom formats, such as jack bros, are going higher in price, and then some that are not as widely available are going down in price, it would seem that the admittedly obvious logic involved in the prediction of their pricing is flawed. following the trend that has already been set, the release of the four rare roms will not affect the price as exclusively as some may think.
