@LesterKnight ah cool, didnt know about it. But sadly the last update was in 2015 🙁
Also they always talk about fps but at how much fps the did VB run? I just read about 50Hz. Is 50Hz = 50fps?
@speedyink
The 3D effect on the VB never worked for me very good.
It was always more 2D for me. I have to say that I am shortsided on one eye. When the 3DS came out, I was very worried that I wont be able to see the 3D effect like on the VB. It was not the case. The 3D effect was very good even for me. With the new 3DS and the eye tracking, it got even better. When the 3DS was new, I created some 3D MPO pictures from several Virtual boy games in order to see how it would look like on a real 3DS. Already there I could see that it would work much better for me on 3DS.
The MPOs are here on the forum btw.
I am no programmer but if I would be one, that would be my project 😀 A good portion of the available VB games AND most of the impressive homebrew just deserve a proper and alternative way to be played and I think the 3DS is it.
Well they show the VB quite long and it is a important part of that sequence. They didnt try to hide the VB or anything but it is the first time that they show the VB that clear.
Also that sequence basicly shows how unconfortable the VB can be.
My guess is that we can expect VB Virtual Console on 3DS in the Future and I bet the will tell everybody how easy it is to play VB games on 3DS.
@danielps
thats a very cool project. Looking forward to see it done 🙂
I think the 3DS or at least the new 3DS should be able to handle VB emulation at full speed. The good thing is, that the VB Games library is very small and it should be easier to get all games to work.
Teleroboxer, red alarm or Wario should look great on that 3D screen.
About Nintendo, well they show or mention the VB quite often. You can get the VB in lost of games as a Trophy so I would say they did not ban the VB out of their side ^^
VB on virtual console however I belive that the will come out with such after we seeing it on homebrew first.
That would not very new.
I am very disapointed to be honest.
They made one of the best Games for the VB ever, doing some kind of secret very limited run of a production, some guys teasing it like hell but in the end we have nothing and not even a chance to buy a copy.
Dan, Dude! I noticed directly. Your Head Unit is a Shoshinkai Model!!! It just missed the Logo but it seems the same mold.
Now I really miss my Shoshinkai Prototype even more 🙁
Yes and no.
Well it is good that Nintendo is also doing stuff for families but there are also player who dont want any Multi/Party/Group Games. They want Action, Adventure, Exploring, Story and want to play alone.
The Upcoming Zelda could all fit in this.
About 3D, well refuse 3D Headsets is kind of stupid.
They had a VB which was a failure but with this they had a lot of chance to research 3D. It seems that they never stopped experimenting with 3D afterwards. They claim they had a Luigis Mansion on GC running in 3D.
Then they came up with the 3DS and its special 3D screen.
They heavylie proposed 3D and now the 3DS runs really well despit its launch.
Starting now to refuse 3D Headsets makes no sense because it devalidates all their efforts etablishing 3D. 3D is not a Über Special feature anymore but it is standard now. Its just there in most TV and so on. This VR glases will come big, i am sure of it. This is just the best tech to output 3D right now. It just needs to get smaller faster and with much better resolution in order not to see any pixels anymore. The 3DS screen is not anywhere this good. The only real reason I see nintendo refusing it is just because the others doing it already. Doing a own one could look like copy. And maybe because they dont have proper hardware to support 3D in good resolution and fps.
Well maybe you guys are right that SF2 wouldnt work as an entry but i’m still surprised that there are no news about that in general. It was already looking very awesome. But yeah these two entys are missing indeed…
You can just port the VB Part of Mednafen to the 3DS. I proposed this already a long time ago and looked for a coder with time but nobody wants to take this part…
Is it possible to put something on hold for me? Right now i am a bit short on cash but this should change soon and i dont want to miss this chance. The Space Pinball had an awesome quality and i would be happy to have also the others 🙂
This is not strange but the seller put some wrong informations there.
These eproms were sold by me a few years ago… They dont come from any liquidation asset auction in the 90s!
As far as i remember they came with an Virtial Boy Eprom Board.
