He great news. I really appreciate the industries movement towards 3d. It was long overdue. My Virtual IO iGlasses that i bought real cheap on sale about 12 years ago have not been used a lot apart from playing Magic Carpet. The resolution was too grainy anyway. The question regarding 3ds for the people on PVB is: Will there be a Virtual Boy compilation? That would be such a cool official revival!

I appreciate you doing all the work on this page and in this community KR155E. So first of all my thanks and respect for that. I love PVB!!!

However… I used to love to come to this page to get my fair portion of red and black headache. Why did the old themes have to die with this new one? Is it not compatible? Call me conservative but I always have a hard time getting used to new things.

Heheheheh… sorry 😉 . Hopefully I’ll get some spare time in the next few days to really dig into it and see what all of the specific differences are.

I’m using BeyondCompare for all sorts of comparisons at work. Well who am I telling. Anyway just in case you have never tried it before.

I got the files. Thanks a lot for everything, Matthew! 🙂

Please send the donations now, guys! I am preparing everything, the files will be out later today.

The 20$ are sent. Keyword “Siffer”.

Today I paid for everything and once it’s all confirmed I will put in the order to have it shipped! If anyone is serious about donating towards it, my Paypal address is gapetto @ gmail . com and I hope to have them in a few weeks time. I am very excited!

I am sure willing to sponsor 20$ just to support the more active part of the community – contrary to what I am representing. I would fancy having message that the discs have arrived save at your place and are readable until I shall make my payment. Pin me to the list please!

OK. I think this project must be buried. The things I would have liked the emu to do just not seem possible without some very serious effort. Even with the effort the chances of success are very low so the project unfortunately dies at the pre-feasibility stage. And l also have to admit that even if it was done, I would have to invest even more time then other people. I do have a rather basic knowledge of programming and this certainly does not include “directly to the core DS”. I will now invest some thought in some other project ideas and I’ll let you know if something is coming up. One Idea is to port or remake a VB game to/for DS. Maybe this is easier. Thanks for all your help. I really mean it although the help was discouraging. 🙁 I have to find a realistic project.

@Deadly-D

Not necessarily cross eyed but.. YES!


@RunnerPack

That’s exactly the Kind of Information I need. It does sound slightly discouraging though. Do you think applying some kind of Filter to every Image to rescale it would already need too much CPU to have any decent frame rate? PSP is not an Option as the thing with the two screens (point one from the first post) would be really important for me. So I guess I will first have to get deeper into the topic of VB emulation or better emulation in general. I will also have to look in other emulators for DS and see how things are done. Is a VB so much more complicated to emulate compared to a SNES? Then I can look at it and see whether its worth to even invest a serious amount of time or invest into another VB project Idea related to RPG and the VBJAEngine.

Any further advices an inputs welcome.

Of course I did not mean to forget a very important contributor (Richard H.). I just didn’t follow the development that much. THX to everyone who made it possible.

I’ve got number 002. I guess Chris has kept 001 for himself. Great stuff. The packing is so damn professionally made.

Guys I have got the packadge right on my desk. Unpacking in a minute. I’m soooo exited. I’ll go sraight for some 3d tetris which I don’t own so far. Yahooooo and Jippeee.

OK I hope I’m not forgetting something

Nintendo VirtualBoy J 2x
Nintendo VirtualBoy US 2x
Nintendo NES 2x
Nintendo SNES
Nintendo N64
Nintendo GameCube
Nintendo Wii (WiiKey modchip 1.9g rom)
Nintendo GameBoy
Nintendo GameBoyColor
Nintendo Game and Watch several
Sega Megadrive
Sega Dreamcast
Sony PS2
Sony PS2 slim (DMS 4pro modchip TOXIC OS)
Microsoft XBOX 360
Microsoft Windows based PC (yes this is also a Game System)
Phillips G7000 (this rocks :thumpup:)

I guess thats it.

I use my Wii a lot. Especially since WiiKey is in there. MarioParty8 is a game we play quite a lot. Just finished all 120 Stars of Super Mario Galaxy which I think is one of the greatest games ever made. Nintendo showed again that they can still improve in sequels of such a great series. Those little planets are just so much fun to explore. It is true however that no that many superduper games haven been released for the Wii jet. Resident evil is the next I’m going to play. O and not to forget WarioWare which is not a long time motivator but I play it every now and then because I like how it makes use of the Wiimote.

very nice vid. I always wondered if you even can make sense of the ever repeating storys.

Sounds like you guys are all nuts… 🙂 But go for it I mean after all a VBflash cart is released soon and they have been built before. If somebody would have told me that couple of years ago I would have guessed he’s nuts too. Personally I still like the red-blue TV output idea the most. If you really must burn your eyes out you can still hook it to a projector and point it right at your eyes 🙂 No seriously that would be awesome to have your friends watching with 3d glasses.

I dont think I’m any help other then saying: MS + VB = MSVB. I love MetalSlug and I guess this would be one of the greatest Games for VB. Imagine playing with link cable. I’ll take Marco…. and you? Sorry other then giving my full support I’m no help.

Me, me, me! 100% I can pay by paypal. I would also offer to send you a box of VB baseball to pay for it. I only keep one sixpack the rest can go to the FlashBoy project. Or I could just sell them to whom ever produces the carts. I don’t feel like building my own, I’m scared of bricking the thing.

Is this what will give us ordinary people the possibility to play games like virtual Lab or Bound High as well?

BenRPG

real name: Bernhard Müller

living in: Zürich/ Switzerland

Age: 22

Doing what:

I am a student for Biology at the University of Zürich. Currently I’m very busy preparing for exams( 4 days left), but as you can see I can still find time to write this. Thats cause I’ve been learning for 10 weeks straight trough now. I’ts quite strange, as I had strange Dreams concerning video games and my studys. There were always comming new molecules from the top(like Tetris) and I had to let them react together the whright way quickley to not pile them up. It seemd never ending and there was no break or releve.

I live in a Flat with my girlfriend and two other guys, all students. With one of them I keep a nice Video game collection. He doesent like VB too much, so Youl’ll never see him here. We all know each other from school and we wore squating together fore quite some time. In the squat we were running things like a cafe, a movie theater, a second hand shop, party basement, Artstudios and so on…. We also had a lot of senseless talks to some very fundamentalist punks. I’ll spare you the details.

So what else. I have other hobbies like building and flying RC modelplains. I have started to collect Lithops which are very interessting plants. Also known as Living Stones. Many other plants as well. I hang arrownd a lot with my girlfriend, also smoking a lot of pot. I also enjoy going to the Zoo or eating in a nice restaurant ( always depends on the money)

Oh I work also. I sell tickets in a local Sex Cinema. I’ts a realy well paied students job. I a shift of six houers I sell about 25 ticket and selling one takes me 10 seconds. The rest of the time I can do what I want. At the moment this is studiing. But during the semester I also play Virtual boy, which is nice. No there is no boss there, I’m all by my self. This gets payed 23.75 CHf per houer. (approx. 15 $)

I know this might be a critical point but I will write something about politics:

As you might know we have something called direct democracy here in Switzerland, so I get to vote for any law that will concern me. I’m leftish orientated (no wonder for an ex squatter) but after all I’m a very much relativating person. I tend to see things from diffrent angels, which sometimes doesent help to make up your mind (I hand in a lot of empty votingpapers). But one thing I tell you fore shure: If Gorge W Bush gets voted President again, I finaly give up on mankind. Florida has got an electronic voting system now. What do you think is going to happen in the near future? You don’t evan get a recet after voting. No recounts possible. If the US people are going to vote this cheater again(maybe they already lost controll?), I’ll be very dissapointed. Look, the human race and maybe all live on earth and in other parts of the universe is going to end sometime. Thats OK. Hey If you think I’t doesen’t matter if you drive an SUV thats guzzels for four cars, OK. I don’t care man, I’t all going to end you are right. If you think fiering rockets on others and basing the economy on it is good, fine with me. I’ts all going to end sooner ore later. I for example eat meat as well. I kill every day(not saying its right, but I have the power to do so). But why would somebody let themself **** in the ass, by somebody that has allready fucked them. A huge potential is going to get all waisted. It would be a pity. I’d be very sorry. Oh why this concernes me? My girlfriend is american, my brother, many friends and other familymembers and last but not least, I’m also a citicen of this Planet, aren’t I?

Where I come from:

I grew up a little out of Zürich together with 2 older brothers. My parents were always nice to me and I think I’m trough the worst now. I enjoyed a very good education. I’m a very socal person sice I can remember. I always needed to have contact to people to ceep me allive. Was a scout for many years. Spent a year in New Zealand as exchange student.

Where I want to go:

After my Master of Biology(a long time from now) I’d like to work in the botanical Garden, or Zürich succulent Plants collection, two very worth seeing plant collections in Zürich that do research as well.

Thats all for now. I might keep it update.

If you’d like to comunicate anything, ore like to know something else of me, I’m glad to hear from you whoever you are. Just drop me a mail.

1. Space Squash
2. Virtual Fishing ( I’ts not that good but I had to put it here honestley cause I got so addicted. After finishing the main game I was fishing in the pond for many many houers. I got 16 out of 18 Fish now.)
3. Vertical Force

(Of corse this changes from time to time)

Like to see titles:

1. Any good roleplay in snes style 3d graphic. Nothin real time. Good Story, many gadgets, nice monsters and some 3d effects.
2. Street Gangs (Orginal NES, a.k.a. River City Ransom or something like Onasashigura Highschool)
3. Fast running Jump and Run

Oh hi

My question at this point: Do any of the emulators support Steriogoggles? Like the Virtual Io I-glasses I own. I don’t know if that would be Analygraph? Whats that anyway?
