Looks good VirtualChris!

That should fit in the prototype window without cutting off any graphics. I would suggest adding 3 more pixels of gray background to the right side, into the black border. Otherwise you might have a small strip of that black border peaking out along the right edge of the screen on the final production units.

I sent you a PM.

Love it

When I’ve mentioned/recommended you I have linked to your eBay listing or I’ve just pointed them towards Planet Virtual Boy to look for Nes Freak.

Don’t know if you’ve had any new business thanks to me, but I know I’m not the only one mentioning you on Reddit!

If you are looking for where these guys are, Virtual Boy posts pop up in the r/retrogaming sub and (obviously) the r/VirtualBoy sub. Seems like there’s always a comment or two on posts about Virtual Boys saying that theirs doesn’t work. I make sure to point a big finger at you whenever someone mentions that they need to get theirs fixed.

I’m advertising your services on Reddit whenever it comes up, plenty of collectors out there posting their disappointment that their Virtual Boy units don’t work.

Could be that the seller knew the buyer, possibly created the ebay listing just to sell to them specifically?

Adam, that’s kind of you! I’ll keep that in mind.

My first choice is to get mine working again. I’m sure there are some back connections in the controller (the components in these are extremely cheap). But If I can’t get it going again – I’ll definitely hit you up!

I pulled my R-Zone headset out a couple of weeks ago, found that the LED’s in the head unit aren’t lighting up anymore making it unplayable.

Still need to find the time to disassemble the whole thing and see if I can find the issue.

Thanks for all the work you do mellott124!

Hey, didn’t even realize that the service I used on eBay was NES Freak here!

Thanks for attempting to fix my awful ribbon cable (and my other one) and for the replacement when mine wasn’t salvageable! My VB looks great now, it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to play it! I’ve been on a Virtual Boy marathon for the past several days!

Thanks for the info, and thanks for all the work you do for the site and the community KR155E!

Yes WWW

Though I think it would be legitimate either way, since you see either “www.nintendo.com” or “support.nintendo.com” on game covers and manuals now. (when looking to the “Need help…” section)

There’s something about it without the WWW that just doesn’t look right to me.

I knew I couldn’t have been the only member to mention this, I guess I should’ve looked outside the “Offtopic” section of the forum.

Aside from the previews and sneak peeks, anytime I see that movie poster with the robot behind Hugh Jackman, the opening of Teleroboxer with the robot rising in the background keeps flashing in my head.

I would go see this movie, but I know I’m gonna be disappointed when the final fight in the movie isn’t against a vicious cat robot…

I can’t really offer much since I’m one of the creators, but if you haven’t already – you could spend some time on “the wayback machine”.

I know it’s not the same as getting a written account of how it all began from one of the site’s creators, but it’s still fun to kind of see how the site has “evolved” over the years.

Haha! Good one… I especially like the line:
