He published another one. (I initially added the same one as the previous one by mistake.)

I’m really glad to hear you want to make a cartridge!

I’ll definitely take your feedback into account for a future patch. I was planning to wait a little while before the next update so that other contributors have time to test the game and give their feedback. I imagine it will be at least a few weekends before it’s ready.

Since the game will never really be 100% “polished,” I’d suggest re-flashing your cartridge as new updates roll out. If your cart isn’t re-flashable, you could always just print the version number on the label 😀

Between family life and my limited time off, I plan to take things at my own pace to keep it enjoyable. I would like to stick with this project a bit longer, but who knows, I might dive into a brand new game after this one.

The logical next step will be to refactor the game, fix bugs, and improve gameplay. I am currently dealing with thread pool exhaustion, which makes this refactoring essential. I also want to preserve specific know-how by saving it through Claude’s skills. Ultimately, it will likely make more sense to invest in a new game rather than trying to over-polish this one.

I used Claude Code with architect, coder, and tester skills.
The project started during my two weeks of paternity leave.
Then, I tried to make it as complete as possible during my summer vacation.
My goal was to test my workflow with Claude while trying to push its limits.
I also tried to provide pleasant music and stereo effects.
Believe it or not, I spent a lot of time on it.
I still hope you will try it before dismissing it.

I bought it because Im a fan of Wario. Then I felt in love of the hardware.

Hi,
Im a VR enthousiastic.
I own the DK1, 2, go and Quest.

I played VB emulator on the Go and bought to Kevin Melott it (last) VB gamepad to Go adapter.

Today Im playing around with the Quest link cable and Im discovering all I missed these last two years on the PC side of VR.

For me,the Quest is the best headset and Im very impressed by what the evil Facebook is doiging right now.
Iv disconneted my Facebook account but Im spending 20 USD pro month in the oculus store. What a paradox 🙂

I trust MK. He has a lot of experience in software development. Like Kevin Mellott with the hardware. (not Kevin Merlot eh 😀 )

Haha now I understand how my netflix account bas been hacked ^^
Then I had to delete the old email account linked to planetvb. I received too many email that pass through the my spamm filter…

I realy like the mechanism of miniVB NFC cards.

The VB is the “first” 3d console.
Making an HDMI version with no 3d (or anaglyph) is just good for colectors.
In my opinion, the only 3rd party version that makes honnor to the VB is the Oculus version.
This what the VB was supposed to be (or sold as).

BUT beeing creative and create good 3d models for the comunity is gold 😉

Super !

How do you connect your adapter to the Oculus Go ? With a micro usb both end cable ? A micro usb to a blutooth module ?

I tried Wario Land with a Gamepad Samsung EI-GP20 and everything works fine!

It’s from far my best VB emulation experience !
Stereo sound, save states, good VR display (not stuck in front of your eyes) and no lag.

Now I need a blutooth adapter for my vb controller 😀
Wario land just need A+B and left pad, but this is not the case for others games…

Otherwise it would be cool that the developper creates a kind of teather or backgroud for the screen.
Two player online would be a must.

I totally recommand the try !

PS: I ‘ve installed the android SDK. Just the ADB driver was no enough.

I will participate !

Wow.
Thank you very much for your share.

Could you give us more information like a BOM and the part number for the zero force socket you use with the Chipmaxx2 ?

I think I will need to buy an eat gun 🙂

I’d go for 2 copy 🙂
Would be perfect with my link cable.

Thank you

Mutant mudds is back !
With its VB zones and its perfect 3d.

Look at this add, the dude plays with a VB controller ^^

The Vb emulator for oculus should be improved. Screen looks too close of your face and the head tracking is not used.
Resolution with the dk2 is acceptable but not enough…
An oculus with a 4k screen and a correct head tracking would be the minimum for a comfortable experience.

Hi,
There is still no Mac version… But you can install windows on your Mac using Parallels.
This tool will install a virtual machine of windows on your Mac.

It will be very usefull assuming that a lot of demos are not Mac compatible.

A last word about Vbjin. I can’t save my progression. This is very shitty with Wario Land.
