Thanks for the update. I’m voting on the red case too (opaque), if possbile. As Ethan.Snyder98 pointed out I think that would look really cool together with the black dust cover.
Cart model is just about ready to go out for quote to my injection mold guy. I do, however, have a more wild idea for a case that I’m chasing down at the moment so molded cases aren’t 100% yet.

I lurked NA for quite some time, never registered a user though. I just enjoyed reading the forum. A lot of NA:ers seem to have moved on to https://www.videogamesage.com/

Nice collection! What´s the story behind that VB Wario amiibo? 🙂
It’s one of my custom amiibo. I wanted to make a custom of him for a while but his smash Bros amiibo sucked lol. They eventually came out with another version for the super Mario line of amiibo and it was perfect.

With Flashboy no longer being produced, I think most people would welcome any solution. Wouldn’t hurt to have two tiers, a cheaper and a more expensive option. I’m guessing Multiboy32 will be pretty pricey and it might turn a lot of people off, having a cheaper simple option like a Flashboy might help expand the market for homebrew. Could do a Flashboy32 and a Multiboy32.

What about an intermediate step? Not a full MultiBoy 32 but something like a multislot Flashboy? No on screen game selection but dip switch or usb selection of games? 8 slots or so of 32Mbit. The development would be much shorter and I could possibly pull it off while studying. What are people’s thoughts? Just an idea at this point.
As someone who doesn’t have a Flashboy but really would like a way to play homebrews (on the VB) that sounds great. As long as you think you’ll be able to balance your studies with the development of a “multislot Flashboy” I’m all for it.
I missed this campaign (it ended before I started collecting). Please let us know when they are up for sale on your site as I am interested in purchasing a bunch. Could you please provide a link to your site?
@speedyink: I played the VB for a while today testing out my new games (see below) and didn’t notice any glitching so not sure what’s up with that, but I’ll get the console fixed in due time anyway.
I totally agree about Red Alarm. I had seen footage of the game prior to playing it, and based on that, I thought it was going to be really confusing. It wasn’t, when I actually tried it out for myself.
I received a bundle of games (Red Alarm, Panic Bomber, Vertical Force, Golf, Baseball 95, Mario’s Tennis, Teleroboxer, Galatic Pinball, V-Tetris and Space Squash) the other day which I got for a really good price. I also got Wario Land from the same seller for an ok price.

It was 1:19 AM local time.
Had I slept at all? I wasn’t sure.
It didn’t matter though, because I was wide awake now. No time for snoozing.
In approximately three minutes my virtual Boy collection would either grow significantly or remain humble.
1:22 AM. The last minute was upon me.
Tick, tock. Tick, tock.
Soon it was all to be over, and I would either go back to sleep with a smile on my face,
or lay wide awake long into the night, pondering what I could have done different.
10 seconds left. SONIC BOOM! I entered my max bid, and lo and behold–another auction won!
Another day, another night,
some more games won in an exciting fight.
Now–time to sleep. Don’t let the bed bugs bite!

Beside the games, I also got the VB headphones via a Dutch game site. The box is in really good shape, as are the headphones.

@speedyink: Exactly, it’s on the medallion. Thank you for the tip! I did a “zip tie fix”! Clever. I will probably wait a little while before I send it off, but I actually started noticing some glitching while playing, which I suspect has to do with the ribbon cables.
I have mostly played Red Alarm and am currently trying to get past the stage 3 bosses 😁 It’s cool.
