There was a thread on the smartboys when they started selling again. I considered ordering one, but decided to pick up another EMS since I could order these domestically, and there are a few other projects being worked on that may prove to work better for me than smartboy carts.
I do need to backup my camera though, so...

There's a youtube video somewhere of a dude desoldering the entire battery holder on an EMS 64M USB Cart, being the highest point on the board, soldering in a regular cartridge battery and it was able to fit into a regular Gameboy case no problem

i've gotten quite a few emails concerning the smartboy team and their ability to ship in a timely manner (if at all). i have no idea if they've fixed this issue or not (and, tbh, people often email me with their general complaints which is fine). just wanted to throw that out their if you are still considering them.
if they offer different shipping options, go with the one which has international tracking so you'll know whats up

Thanks for the heads up. My next cart is going to be a drag and derp for sure but I may get a smartboy down the road if others chime in with successful transactions.

Yes, but It takes forever.
It literally needs to be paper thin to fit.

I tried with my broken pokemon green bootleg and failed horribly.

Yes thank you Kitsch! Hey I wanted to ask, *edit, whoops asked a question that was already answered. Kitsch by any chance would you have any game cases laying around you could charge me for? like blank pcb cases, I don't care, I have some bare chips and pins that need a case, DMG ones

I think instead I will just duplicate the ems carts, and make them white, solid white, and custom paint them.

I have an extra copy of donkey kong if you are into yellow. You need a security driver to open game cases btw.

the only ones i've got (for sale at least) are these: http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/cl … cuit-cases
my others i'm keeping for either color sampling, or to take measurements for stuff i may or may not be making. i have a big box of samples for that sort of thing.

I would love that man, my cases are bright green, and my other one will be baby blue, so I want the tackiest color scheme ever

I have my USB bleepbloop carts in a white Japanese game shell and a Les Schtroumpfs shell (Smurfs in French). Required sanding on the inside to clear the USB port.

shoot, forgot about these! http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/bl … idge-cases
almost all of those came from the NSYNC color game. its that style case (not DMG, but still official nintendo).
the 'original' ones in the drop down are unaltered. really, a superb case imo, good design
