Virtual Boy is the world's first and only 3-D game system. It was manufactured by Nintendo in 1995. Now, the system is "dead". You can get Virtual Boy at Wal*Mart or Target for $25, and games are available at EBX and Electronics Boutique for $3-$10. Virtual Boy is only two colors, red and black. This is because if it were color the batteries would die real fast and the system would be 3 times as expensive. Virtual Boy shouldn't be used by children under 7 years of age, due to the fact that it may impede or retard their eye's growth. Also, you should take a break and rest every 15-30 minutes. If you don't you may experience a headache. All Virtual Boy games have an auto pause feature to remind you to rest.

Are the SRAMs used in Virtual Boy games eraseable? If so, how? Can you use a EPROM or EEPROM programmer to reprogramm the SRAMs? Do you need to desolder the SRAMs before reprogramming? Can you program the SRAMs via the 60 pin connector? If so, how?
