The inverted machine pin headers used as a socket 🤣

    I dont know if it's any quality at all, but it looks cool as hell

    It works surprisingly well! It doesn't fit into the console weird like I thought it would, and grips the internal connection just the right amount not to feel worrying.

    All the games work, and the games that support battery-backed saves are saved individually. I was expecting much worse from a product that looks like this from AliExpress.

    I installed Red Viper on my 3DS and had a blast playing Wario Land!

    unlicensed chinese stuff can range from a multi cart featuring every game boy game in existence or putting mario on fred flintstone and calling it a day

    I fucking love the dips.

    nothing more hacky or entertaining than flipping microswitches with a pick.

    Huh... I just realized that I've never seen a Virtual Boy cartridge in real life. Is this generally what they look like?

    Also, I saw "Innsmouth no Yakata" and was intrigued. Turns out that yes, it is Lovecraftian horror:

    There really isn't much dialog to Innsmouth, but all the JPN exclusives that can benefit from translations have been translated. (Though all the JPN roms on this multicart are unpatched original roms).

    OEM retail carts do not look like this multicart!
