I probably have some as well.

They’re all sold out until next year.  I can put your email down on the interest list for the next batch.

Great. I just sent you a PM with my email as well on another topic. We can discuss via email and I can contact HedgeTrimmer and see what he thinks. He has the latest files.

That’s not likely with them being hand built. Labor cost is too high. You have to hand stuff 60 pins. :-S

Yes, I have the Hedgetrimmer prototypes. They look awesome but I haven’t built a cart with them yet. It’s on the list.

And yes prices are going up. Wow.

That was the original plan as well (VB as a stretch goal). I didn’t learn that until after I had been donating and it came up in a conversation with the developer.

The latest iteration. Updated connector from my 3D printed extension design. SNES plug and power switch are purchased parts.

I stopped backing when I found out VB support was only a stretch goal and PC was the main intended platform.

Oh, are e-mails preferred over PMs?

Anything is fine but emails are instant to my phone. PM’s I have to login and check. 🙂 However, I also check PlanetVB, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit. Discord on I’m on all the time. I try to be available.

Registered for this site just for this topic. I have a furrtek-installed virtual tap in my VB and have been looking for a flashcart solution for ages.

how can I get on this mailing list? Have orders already been taken?

Thanks for reaching out. Please contact me at mellottsvrpage@gmail.com. Thanks!

I’m building some more of these SNES to VB adapters if people are interested. Very small run but a few people are asking.

Great work! I’m already using it as a reference.

That’s a hell of a mount.

I more and more think eBay is a place to put stuff up for a ridiculous price to try to convince the market that items have more value than they are worth. Then eBay can suggest you price higher when you go to sell and the behavior feeds itself.

I had one guy tell me once that he posts items at really high prices because occasionally someone buys it. It?s worth it to them to wait for that one crazy high priced purchase than to sell more at a lower price. I think that item was on eBay over 5 years.

Wow, nice job and thanks for sharing the art. I?m sure you put a ton of work into those.
Is Tusk still making these boxes and CIBs?

This is looking pretty cool now. I thought I was on the mailing list, but haven’t gotten anything in ages so I guess not. I didn’t preorder as the description at the time sounded like the cart had to be plugged into a PC via USB just to load games (aka 1 at a time). Clearly Kevin has progressed beyond that. The other bit of confusion (still is) is whether this will be sold as a completely assembled product, or that we have to provide a shell or something like that?

I took some orders with people providing shells at the beginning. It didn’t really work. So now I provide the complete cart.

I emailed everyone I thought I had on the list. I may have missed you. You can always reach out to me over PM or even email. My info is all over PlanetVB and I’m on the PlanetVB Discord. You can also reach me through my site.

The on-screen interface will be the primary interface for everyone, with PC as secondary meant mainly for developers.

Really nice job. Congrats!

How I do wish I could afford the Fight Sticks. I so badly want to add a couple to my arcade setup.

Those are super cool. He posted on Twitter the other day and it looked like he was making his non-VB version. The links don’t work anymore.

I liked this quite a bit but never bought one. Might be cool for a console version.

The original one I got from you is 5 feet long. It’s mostly a perfect fit, but when using two VB’s, a Virtual tap and arcade sticks as controllers, it’s cutting it a bit close. I think 6 feet would be perfect.

I could try it. Send me an email.

Lots of work going on here. Most of it being posted to Discord. Here’s a video of the latest progress so that people only on PlanetVB can see it.
