Another one, this time Fishbone (early rumble build).
In this case, the FM16W08 FRAM does not save 🙁
I have tested the V1.22 with a friend over one hour in multiplayer mode.
We came to the conclusion that it is not very stable with dwarf mode enabled.
That is why I will make a V1.2X where dwarf mode in multiplayer is disabled.
But instead it shall spawn new obstacles, to make the stages harder and harder the longer you play.
In short: the most stable version at the moment (in multiplayer mode) is V1.1
EDIT: I have learnt the following: randomly spawning boxes spawn differently in multiplayer mode, i.e. player 1 has different box locations than player 2. That leads to activating and disabling of post-process effects at different times, which then creates artifacts and crashes during play in multiplayer. Hence V1.2 should also be stable, because there the boxes have fixed positions.
EDIT: V1.2 was also not stable.. But see new version V1.3 🙂
Another reprocard, this time Formula V demo 12 (16MBit).
This time again with FM16W08 FRAM, which saves in this game again 🙂
So one can play against ghosts of your best lap in time trial.
A tiny update:
Pong Ultimate V1.22
Changes:
The post-process effect boxes now spawn randomly with each start of a stage.
They should not spawn in walls, paddles or obstacles though (if I calculated everything correctly).
Unfortunately I have encountered two crashes during multiplayer test. I am not sure if this is because of the newly added bits of code or if this was also the case and I was only lucky during testing of the previous version.
Nevertheless, I hope that one has fun with this new version.
And of course thanks to Jorgeche and SylvainRx for helping me again with the coding 🙂
Built my own reprocard today 🙂
Another reprocard completed today:
Virtual League Baseball 2!
ROM was from PVB (obviously ; ), genuine connector and FM18W08 FRAM.
It plays fine, FRAM seems to save correctly, at least what I could quickly check via “Team Edit”.
Thank you!
Regarding the comment “GB Emu v0.3 can’t save, also sound is generally poor”:
It saves, by pressing “R”, see last comment here:
Does the Gameboy emulator for VB (GBEmu) work on actual hardware?
Eitherway, I have added 4 games.
Wanted to add another piece of information, perhaps someone is interested in this topic (I also posted this on the Virtual Picross release thread, hopefully this is okay):
I built Virtual Picross with a padded ROM (ROM was extended to 16Mbit via copying and pasting the original code several times via padding tool), genuine connector and FM16W08 FRAM.
The game works, saving does not work.
A side note: Virtual Vibes has the exact same setup, but it saves.

I have another release:
Pong Ultimate 1.2
New:
Post-processing-effects added!
Version added to title screen
This release has “items” in the stages which enables post-processing effects like dwarf mode, wobble mode or tilt mode.
One box per stage enables the effect, one box (the one with the cross) disables the effect.
In the multiplayer stages there is only the dwarf effect since the other effects are too heavy on the poor Virtual Boy.
Besides that the release is identical to 1.1, so if someone does not look like the effects one should choose this version.
Know bugs:
-the tilt disable box sometimes disappears when tilt mode is enabled, but it still disables the effect when the disc passes through (the invisible box).
– the effects lower the FPS rate, but everything is still well playable in my opinion.
Just wanted to mention that I built my own Virtual Picross opensource reprocard.
Sadly the save function does not work, although the same FRAM works on another game…
But it is not the end of the world, I just write down manually which puzzle I already solved and which picture was behind it. Thanks again for this game!
