I meant to post to the list about this quite some time ago but just never
got around to it I guess.. that is exactly what it says it is, a 4M GBX card
and PCE game hacked together with a good amount of skill and hot glue. I've
had mine for about 4 months or so and it works great, totally in love with
it:

And actually about a month or so after I bought it, Rayman (as he calls
himself) wrote me a custom app to convert jp roms so I wouldn't have to use
the PCE adapter shown there. Now _that's_ service. I know there's been some
discussion on the list lately about homebrews -- the cart is perfect for
testing games on actual hardware.. super cheap (compared to an MGD2 or
Griffon, and given you've already got a GBX) and completely reliable, I
highly recommend getting one.

Also -- just made the move from TX up to Chicago, anyone on the list know of
any good used/import game shops in the area? All of my visits to the local
"chinatown" have turned up a complete bust, unless you like cheap ceramic
doohickeys. The closest I've come is a Japanese grocery store out here in
the burbs that had a couple import GBA games and Pokemon Center systems.
Where's the motherload hiding?
