What about Newton OS?

I’ve often thought of trying to make a BASIC interpreter/compiler to let people make quick VB stuff like demos and such. Anyone know of a good, simple, FOSS BASIC interpreter/compiler? Preferably one targetting a microcontroller.

That would be great, since my only programming experience is from ~4 years of programming with various dialects of BASIC and Visual Basic.

The intro song from Red Alarm… ahhh, it makes such good use of stereo sound and it’s simply epic. It’s also the first music track I heard on the VB.

How about Boot Camp?

but, yeah, a level editor for wario land would kick ass!

Or a Red Alarm level editor, that would be even better!

Actually, I’m European and I use the official Nintendo adapter tap with a 9V DC adapter from a ZX Spectrum. It works flawlessly.

The serial number is supposed to be on the bottom of the VB too, you know.

I still don’t get it why Nintendo chose to use volatile RAM instead of flash RAM.

Exactly. The World Wide Web is becoming the USA Web. But I’ve had luck with USA-only sellers – I just ask them if they would ship their item to my location, and there is a 85% chance they will, even though the listing says that it’s only for USA.

Exactly. But at the same time it is really satisfying when you wake up the next morning and see the auction is yours.

There is a thread called “The VB Glitchy Display Problem”, you know.

I think that all display problems (except unalignment) are caused by this — my VB occasionally shows weird images in the right display too, but I lightly tap my hand on it, and sometimes it works. I also have noticed that some games will have different display problems than others.

EDIT: Damn, DogP, you were 28 seconds faster than me! 😀

I started modelling a VB in SketchUp once, but since my skills weren’t so good, I quit.

A few days later, I attempted to recreate Stage 1 of Red Alarm with it. I might get to finish it once. But I think that will take a pretty long time since Reality Boy can’t properly emulate it yet.

Ships worldwide.

The left eye shows a horizontal line, and the right eye shows the vertical lines.

I asked because, you know, such cases don’t get treated very well… they’re dropped, shaken, knocked over, and such things.

The hard case?

See it for yourself.

It rocks! I’d definetely want to see it.

You forgot Game.com.

Sure, it’s cool, but it hasn’t got the immersiveness of the Virtual Boy. When I play Red Alarm I sometimes move my head a bit because I think that the enemy missiles are going to hit me!
