PasseGaming | 28 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) I was wondering why with all the latest advancement in classic gaming no one else has tried to make their own version of the Retrovision. It was a absolutely fantastic idea, I would die at a chance to get my hands on one of those carts when they had been originally released. Unfortunately I missed out by a few years. Anyhow, I was just thinking about this the other day when I picked up a few gameboy carts for my new collection. I'd still like to play these games on my nes. I remember a few years ago someone was looking into making a flash cart but I haven't heard about it since. Anyhow, I was just musing about it and wondered if anyone else has wondered about it too. I have to assume it was very complicated. Bunnyboy sure knows his stuff. Edited June 3, 2020 by PasseGaming Updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,598 Homebrew Team · Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 RetroUSB has sold them again. The last time was a year or so ago. Don't know if it will happen again, but maybe. Follow RetroUSB on Twitter and Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PasseGaming | 28 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 I just scrolled through 3 years worth of posts, so it must have happened longer ago. Bummed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrobins | 1,729 Moderator · Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I think at one point not too long ago he posted that he had one for sale on his site for $9999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkchylde28 | 1,546 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I don't know that he's sold them through the site in the last few years, but I have seen several pop up on eBay for auction as he's made one or two. I seem to recall people on NA asking if he was ever going to make them widely available again through the site and the response was something along the lines of if he ended up with enough time and parts, otherwise they'd come out 1 or 2 at a time, for auction.

T-Pac | 7,590 Graphics Team · Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Neat - I had to look into this as I'd never heard of the RetroVision before. I'm a bit confused, though - aside from the novelty factor, is there a functional reason for playing Gameboy games through a NES cart rather than a Super Gameboy? -CasualCart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RetroVision uses Gameboy guts. As looks siiikkk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An while I do have a super gameboy, for whatever reason I'd rather play it on my NES as it is always hooked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostLevel83 | 86 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I don’t know what RetroVision is, but Super Game Boy 2 with the Commander controller is where it’s at for GB on the SNES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadeye | 1,598 Homebrew Team · Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 @CasualCart that would be something... the RetroVision in reverse. Play NES games on a GameBoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,598 Homebrew Team · Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 The Nintendo Tower of Power. Just add a NES to Famicom adapter, Famicom to NES adapter, gamegenie, and then a cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PasseGaming | 28 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Geez, I'd probably consider it if it came with a stand like the Virtual Boy. Then again, lugging that thing around would give you an excuse to skip arm day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsped09 | 223 Moderator · Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Just came across this, I couldn't believe my eyes that it was available. 2016-17 me would have jumped on this in a second, but its a tough sell for me at $730. Maybe I'll test my luck on eBay. I guess he's got more than one? The one of eBay will sell, so I would assume that he'd removed the one from his site, if he couldn't fill two orders Pretty cool item, I would have love to just try this thing out!
