Which version of it are you looking for? I'd like one of RetroUSB's repro carts with the dip switches someday. That seems pretty cool.

if there a arcade version with dip options - that would be ideal.

Yeah, I would love to pick up some of RetroUSB's Vs. series repros. I'd also be interested in CastleVania, Duck Hunt, and Hogan's Alley ones. I'm not even sure how much I'd use the dip switches, to be honest, but no one else seems to even make repros of the Vs. series.

There are ROM conversions of most of the VS. Games.  Personally I don't like RetroUSB's NES games, the dipswitches will appeal to some but mainly they produce a lot of fugly carts in ugly shells with ugly labels.

Personally, I don't care much about the aesthetics of RetroUSB's games. He offers a unique, sophisticated lot of repros. I haven't seen any of the other guys make repro carts with dip switches, as with RetroUSB's Vs. Series and Nintendo World Championships repros. I kind of appreciate how he made his repros with original parts, rather than cannibalizing existing games. Especially since he did a Mr. Gimmick repro, which typically requires sacrificing an already uncommon-to-rare Batman: Return of the Joker (which is just wrong!). On the other hand, I don't think it was necessary for him to build Super Mario 2J repros from original parts, when you can scrap common black-box sports games for compatible boards.

I am not a huge fan of all of these "repros" to begin with, but if I had to buy some at gunpoint or something, I would choose RetroUSB's stuff over any of the other guys in a heartbeat.  Perhaps the games are fugly, or whatever, but this guy has worked on so many amazing NES projects (Super Game Boy for NES, for example), that his products come off as contributing a bit more to the community than the other repro makers, that are just in it to make a quick buck.

True sentiment, I indeed have bought some.  I offered him cash in advance for a NES Retrovision though and he didn't seem too fussed, so I wouldn't be too worried about support.

It's great using original parts, but at the same time I don't shed a tear turning a poop game into something cool.
