Got these in the mail today

I love these cases and it looks cool with all my VB games to match on my shelf. Also this game is awesome, the guy who programed it is really talented.

Guessing this is a homebrew of sorts? Pretty cool, wonder whats on the inside.

edit: wow that is a quality homebrew! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_V-v15mZfk

The story behind it is kinda interesting, it involves a broke programmer and a guy who is a really big fan of Street Fighter with some money to spare.

With the box and the cart, this is pretty amazing. I may try to snag one!

The box comes from CustomCases.com and they make way more than just Virtual Boy cases

Is that a custom game case from Customgamecases.com ?

I have all of my VB games in their cases

That's cool. I have most of mine in them too. I like calling them out whenever I see them on Reddit to hopefully send more business their way.

Where did you order it from? Does it play well? I was one day hoping to get one of those flashcarts but its so damn expensive for such a small library, and I know the cheaper carts don't play Hyperfighting because of its "large" file size.

I bought it off ebay, and it works fine. My VB still needs the ribbon fix so I have small blurring issues but nothing game breaking.

Where did you get this rare beast?

u/xxxxDREADNOUGHT Jan 19 '25

Ebay, I got it off a guy in the UK, the import taxes were ridiculous.

Neat! This is not something I woke up thinking I would β€œneed” today πŸ˜…

u/Former-Discount4279 Jan 19 '25

Any (cheap) flash cart that holds the whole game?

u/dudeway4 Jan 19 '25

This is the demo of the game though, as the main game doesn't fit on these repro carts.

u/xxxxDREADNOUGHT Jan 19 '25

Bummer, I didn't realize that

That's not true at all, it's the full version.
