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!
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.
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.
