Just ordered mine, woohoo!

I guess you never know…

I mean, there’s a lot of activity for a bunch of empty boxes!

Maybe if I buy all that stuff the recession will go away? 🙂

There’s no way I’m paying $50 for a flyer…

What do you recommend for creating the bgmaps? (I had assumed that VIDE was the way to go…) Any particular recommendations or other tools to use?

thanks!

Japanese Virtual Boys are now 16 years old!

I think we were all to busy celebrating to post about it. 😉

Yes, the issue was with my makefile! I’m now able to get it to work… THANKS!

Aha! That one DID work!

I think I’ll have to figure out what’s going on with the different libraries then? Thanks for the example, I’m glad to know that it can actually compile SOMETHING. 🙂

I’m having the same errors as reported here:

(basically, following the instructions on the wiki page don’t work…)

In the past I was able to get going (on another machine) with an older version of gccVB, but I really wanted to run the most current one… I tried using the pre-compiled version (gccVB 2.95 pre-compiled) and copying into C:\cygwin\usr and I’m still not able to compile the demos/examples…

What do you have to do to get started with the pre-compiled version? I’ve been following the instructions on the wiki, but unfortunately I got a bunch of errors…

thanks!

…and the winner is? :question:

Still hearing those drumrolls…. 😀

*gunpeiyokoifan parade* I’ve wanted to read that book but did not attempt to purchase it because I don’t know Japanese!

I don’t read/speak Japanese either…but I’m trying to get someone to help with translation…

Hi,

Please count me in as a contestant!
I’ve rated more than 10 games (though the badge doesn’t yet show up on my profile…) and I’ve just submitted a Virtual Boy relevant scan from a Japanese book about Gunpei Yokoi. I haven’t seen it on the site, so I assume it’s a contribution?

(from this book, to be more precise:

)

cheers!

Jose

Ah, sorry about that!

Yes, it is important for us to get support! Who knows what other goodies have been kept secretly awaiting release… 😉

Those look awesome! I’ve just placed an order for a few…thanks for sharing!

I think he was hoping for some extra excitement from the mystery but was honest enough to give a straight answer when asked directly…

I asked the seller and…

Vertical Force!
