What, no way!

Tabletop is way cooler, plus it's still technically portable ;)

If that's how you feel, then you could argue that the Hyperboy is pointless wince we already have the Super Gameboy.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261104088605?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

and the price is not bad considering they are brand new.. I seen then sell as high as $150 maybe a year ago... I order 2 for my collection the one i got was not new and i had to repair it... :D

I saw that. In the brief time that I was pondering whether or not to pick one up, the seller essentially made the decision for me!

How exactly does it work?  Does it just mechanically press the corresponding buttons on the GB when you hit them on the Hyperboy?  I'm guessing that the batteries are for built-in speakers?

buttons are all mechanical... the batteries are for speakers and a yellow light bulb you see on the picture... on the sides on the gameboy you still have access to volume contrast and all those other things

joystick has a small swith for 4 way and 8 way movement..
one speaker on each side as big as the grills you see on the pic

Man, that would be so easy to make.  Might be fun to make a wooden one sometime next spring/summer.  I'll have to put it on my ever-growing mods to-do list ;)

Behold! everyone's hard work! (Yes I KNOW this has been brought up a zillion times, by myself too) Just was shocked to see how many different sellers are selling them now

I typed in earthbound , checking if any good deals, I have it, friends still looking. Saw a few cases, so typed in earthbound case and BAM!

One seller I added up the month of september, at least what has had feedback left for it, had 43 sales at around 10$ each. Thats some nice extra money each month

Linky for the lazy

There are dozens of sellers selling our work.  I did manage to get one to stop selling the covers that made which contain original art created by myself.  He was surprisingly polite and quick take the stuff down.   GCW on the other hand...

Yeah I modified my original post just after you posted, what I meant to saw is it was the usual few people doing so, now its like 10+ people on some titles, seems everyone is trying to get in on it.

Given, I don't do any artwork myself cuz I have no skeelz but if my next shipment of cases takes 3 months because its backordered because of these twatwaffles.... omg

what they are doing is flooding ebay with the "custom cases" so every time someone else starts selling the prices are going down.. soon more people are going to be aware of TCP...
