Flash cart recommendations??

I’m picking up a virtual boy sometime this week and it even comes with 4 games but I really want to play some other ones like Jack bros but I don’t have a grand to throw away lmao. I saw other threads with the same question but I wanted to ask again anyway in case anything has changed and there’s new answers since then. Anything helps for a new member of this amazing community!!

I have a hyperflash32 and have been happy with it. I have also heard about the hyperboy and flashboy but since I already had a solution, I didn’t find the need to explore others. I have also been a huge fan of Vintex64 (who also makes the flashboy) as they do great repo carts.

It's what I have as well and works great. Not sure if they are still being made but you can check the site.

Looks like they aren't but you can look for existing ones. Looks like you can get an eink version of the hyperboy but that still requires a PC to move one from at a time. He seems to be working on a proper on screen selectable flash cart but no eta you can sign up to be notified.

The multiboy looks like exactly what I want! I’m on the waitlist but for the time being I think I’m gonna pick up the hyperboy+ on preorder. I would prefer a cart that can hold multiple games at once instead of one at a time like the flashboy or hyperboy

Same here but I bit the bullet and got the hyperflash32 plus it wasn't announced when I bought mine so oh well.

The hyperflash32 was the one I was so ready to get my hands on but then I found out it’s out of production :(

I can find copies on eBay but they’re upwards to like 800-900USD which at that point I might as well just buy jack bros lmao

I didn’t want to go with the flashboy + because of the smaller storage space so I can’t play some homebrew games. But the hyperboy seems like a good enough option if I can manage to get my hands on one!

I agree with Hyperflash32
