I still build and sell them. Working on a new site that helps make that more clear but for now you can email me at mellottsvrpage@gmail.com

I have a top. The red half. Just got to checking now.

Fantastic!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing this.

Latest iteration. Some tradeoffs, but the mini shroud works much better than I was expecting.

And now VB donor carts are about $35… seems like the time has come for a new cart connector.

I didn’t think the Virtual Fall ROM was available?

Hi Everyone,

It was really impressive to see what people came up with given the display limitations. It was tough to decide and I know everyone put in a lot of work into these. One did bubble to the top for me.

Congrats to Mirai604 for the WarioLand labels. I’m declaring him the winner of the b/w/r contest. I’m specifically showing the N3 label below, which I liked the most and had a great blend of the colors, game theme, and a strong 3D perspective. I also really enjoyed the VB loading screen aspect. The badge included was also a clever addition. It really feels like it was made for a production b/w/r HF32 cart.

So congrats to Mirari604!

In other news, the eInk manufacturer may have some exciting news on b/w/r labels…
I should hopefully find out this week. I’ll keep it a secret for now. 🙂

Thanks,
Kevin

OK, he’s the last of the updates for the contest. Nice job everyone! I think everyone showed that yes you can make some good labels given the limitations of a tri-color eInk screen. I’ll post the winner tomorrow. Thanks!

OK, here are some of the Red Menace labels. I picked the ones I thought looked the best.
The Teleroboxer ones look really clean on the b/w/r display.

Sure, I’ll do it.

Some more Fwow13 labels. Looking good!

I still make them.

OK, great. Likely going to pull the trigger on a new 3D printer tomorrow that can do a variety of materials in different colors.

Here’s Mirai604 images converted. They’re all good but nd3 is really good. Love it.

Here’s that COTS connector in a shell to help position it correctly. It’s working and I’m playing Bound High on one of my 16Mbit PCBs. Next steps are to try to see if I can get it to work with a regular VB case. Some bonding/gluing that needs to be figured out, as well as some revisions on the frame to add a back cover. I could build my own carts right now with this. I may want to spin the PCBs to use the memory that is in place on HF32 to give the case some more thickness over the chip. I’ll keep playing.

My 3D printed cases are coming out much cleaner now.

I guess we could just to make sure the black/white/red are there correctly. It would be those three colors stacked on the far right instead of the 4 shades we had previously.
