I’ll start off with…something that isn’t really mine, but I’m one of very few who has the rom for it.

That’s freaking awesome dude!

I don’t have anything to that scale on rarity per say, BUT one of my collection treasures is this Anamanaguchi Power Supply soundtrack NES cart! I’m not sure exactly how many were made, but I got the 8th one that created~! 😀

Is it the translated game or just a repro of the JP game?

As far as I’m aware, the Japanese game was already fully in English.

15 CIB copies of Virtual Bowling are now up over at UncleTusk.com!! 😀

Get it while it’s hot!!

:vb:

I freaking love how there are always new and exciting things being found for the VB!

Great find!! 😀

Welcome to the PNW!! 😀
Glad you and the collection had a safe travel!

(Hope you like rain!)

Would you happen to have an english translation shot of the controls page out of the Space Invaders Virtual Collection manual?

I’m trying to make sure I have the correct idea behind the controls. TYIA

Hope you’re able to find what you’re looking for. 🙂
Looking forward to the next video!

This is the only one I came across a few weeks ago; I haven’t bought one, so I can’t speak to its quality.

Oh snap! Awesome find!
But damn, those US shipping costs. :/

These are so awesome Ben! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve always loved those prototype game boxes. I’ve thought about making versions of all of them and doing a run with Tusk. 😛

Lastly, my suggested changes for Innsmouth Mansion. 🙂

Apparently, the hosting company moved servers and switched from Apache to nginx… or something along those lines… causing the site to go down.

You should join the discord channel! It’s the “freak out bunker” for when something exactly like this happens. :p

Here are the only changes needed for Space Invaders!
Again, I tried to utilize mainly the in game font to hopefully make it easier.

I know Virtual Lab already has English-ish text next to all the Japanese next, but I thought it might look more like an official US release if it had the following suggested changes. 🙂

I tried to utilize only the font that’s already in the game. Hopefully that makes it “easier” to do.

Great work. If possible, do you think you could make scans to be printed out to fit into DS cases?

Perhaps sometime down the line. 🙂
Still have a lot of other things to continue working on.
Sorry!

I really enjoyed these!! Keep it up. 🙂

Absolutely fantastic work. Any hint on when we may see the next CIB title for sale? Would hate to miss it.

Thank you!

I can’t give you a an exact date, simply because I don’t know. But, one of them is currently underway! 😀

I’ll ask Tusk if he would be willing to post it’s availability a couple days prior to it’s sell though. 🙂

These three games won’t need any work done on the ROMs, as virtually all the text in the games is in English already, and whenever there is Japanese text, there is corresponding English text on the same screen.

Perfect! I was pretty certain they didn’t have any after playing them, but wasn’t sure if maybe there was some screen that is just hard to reach. 🙂

Thanks Ben!

…And now I’m back… from outta’ space! 😀

A little over a year ago I started this project to bring the remaining six Japanese exclusive Virtual Boy games to a US CIB state… and with this upload we’re now one step closer!

Innsmouth Mansion manual is done!!

To recap the status:

:: Virtual Fishing ::
– CIB Complete [ (!) ]

:: Virtual Bowling ::
– Assets+Rom Complete
(Does this game have hidden Japanese text I’m not aware of??)
– In production??? 😉

:: V-Tetris ::
– Assets+Rom Complete
(Does this game have hidden Japanese text I’m not aware of??)
– Box printed!

:: Virtual Lab ::
– Assets Complete
– Rom needs Japanese text replaced.
– Box printed!

:: Space Invaders ::
– Assets 99% Complete (Some manual screenshots have Japanese text that will need to be replaced once the Rom is updated.)
– Rom need Japanese text replaced.
– Box printed!

:: Innsmouth Mansion ::
– Assets 99% Complete (Some manual screenshots have Japanese text that will need to be replaced once the Rom is updated.)
– Rom need Japanese text replaced.
– Box printed!

So that’s where we currently stand.
I just want to say thanks for everyone joining me on this journey and I can’t wait till we reach the finish line. 🙂

(PS… if you haven’t bought a Virtual Fishing… GO DO IT!! There’s only 1 left!)

I don’t have the words to describe how I felt receiving this package today… so I’ll let The Pointer Sisters talk for me:

( I cant’ wait for finally making these all CIBs as well!! )
