Thank you for taking your time and writing down all that. There´s some very useful info in that for me.

more and even get it safely resting on your lower right flipper again in a short time, you could choose to use this method alone to rack up an endless amount of points over the course of a long period of playing time. The only thing you really have to worry about with this strategy is the timing of shooting out the puck when it reaches the three-fourths distance point on the flipper.
What time frame are you talking about? Hours? Days?
Another annoying thing which really really sucks is, that at some point it just keeps sending the puck EXACTLY between the flippers to the bottom. Which is the sole reason, why I lose pucks. How can I prevent that?

I was thinking how great it would be if someone much more talented than I edited one of the sprites so that it was wearing a Virtual Boy?
Why not make it a game for the VB? I wish it was available on the Lynx too…would be hell of fun playing it.
The seller claimed it was in good condition, but when I set it up for the first time it had no display at all. It powers up, the sound comes out clearly, and I can tell things are happening (by the sounds it plays) when I push buttons on the controller, but both screens are totally blank. Needless to say, I was heartbroken!

Make a claim thru paypal. This way you get your money back and it´ll teach that fella a lesson.
Ask TheForce81 if he would do another screens repair…he used to do it, but I am not sure. I can recommend it, he did it for me and it they work perfectly again.

I’ve only ever used the “bit” one,
I wonder how you want to do that w/out modification…
I own the same bit (wrong purchase on ebay, I know), which doesn´t protrude deep enough because of the “hexagon” sized end.
And with an IKEA screwdriver it would be too thick to fit into the holes…
I would step away from recommending this thingie, since so many people here actually had troubles using it.
TheForce81 is your man. He is doing repairs on displays for a small fee. I had him do mine, and haven´t had any problems since. He´s done repairs to quite a few people´s VBs here by now, you can trust him.
If anyone can ever verify that these do, in fact, hold up well even after many uses, it sure would make these screwdrivers stand out as the ones to get, when considering the quality and the price.
I am using it, and it holds up very well. So far I have taken apart my VB several times, and neither the screws nor the screwdriver have been torn or damaged so far.

sometimes its amazing what collectors will pay.
nevertheless insane prices. will make think other sellers that they can do it too, thats the simple truth. and thats why I object to it, you may like it or not.

It’s all proprietary stuff. I don’t know the details, but you would have to build your own hardware interface inbetween, which requires some serious electrical engineering skills…
Are you talking about an FPGA? I know of a succesful project for the Atari LYNX…they made it possible to play Atari Games via Lynx on the TV. Of course with some modification – in this case with a custom ribbon cable and an FPGA board afaik.
hmmm…interesting. Aren´t you scared that it will tip over when you move your body a bit during gameplay, or is that position on your chest stable enough?
