I was thankful that I had already scanned all of the Virtual Boy-related pages, as that was the only reason why I had purchased the magazines.

It would’ve been cool to have Dengeki Super Famicom Magazine scans available at Retromags, along with Jugemu and Marushō Super Famicom Magazine, but sucks to hear the flood killed them… Oh well. I’m still thankful for you in scanning stuff from Jugemu that contained Atari Jaguar-related material i needed :)I owe you one… Something that i forgot to say in my post at the MSFCM thread is that i almost experienced the same thing with my Club Nintendo scans a few months ago but thankfully, they were not destroyed by a flood at my house so i can relate to that :/

Is there anyway to display Virtual Boy games on their original 384 × 224 pixel aspect ratio? It is for a personal Project i’m working on 🙂

He also worked with the elusive Video Boy output:

“インテリジェントシステムズ社製バーチャルボーイ開発機

　「ＶＩＤＥＯ－ＢＯＹ（ＶＵＥ）」
これは、私が使っていたもの。よく覚えていないが、モニタ出力した場合、この紙製のメガネ（赤色と緑色のセロファンが貼ってある）をかけてみると立体に見える？この紙製メガネは使っていないので、おそらくそういうことだったと思う。開発時には、ゴーグルのバーチャルボーイで動作確認していたように記憶する。

説明書や付属品リストが残ってた…”

Here’s the info where Virtual Double Yakuman is alluded:

“バーチャルボーイ（幻のゲーム機】＜1995年頃＞

他のところで、【スーパーファミコンの開発機】について書いたときに、家の中で昔の資料を探していると、なんと押入れの奥で、【バーチャルボーイ（VIRTUAL BOY）】というゲーム機の開発用マシンである【ビデオボーイ（VIDEO-BOY）】（写真はここをクリック）を見つけた。

「捨てずに保管してたのか…」と驚いてしまった。

こんなものを持っている人は、そんなにいないだろう。

バーチャルボーイというゲーム機は、任天堂が1995年（平成７年）に発売したもので、スタンドに据え付けられたゴーグル型のディスプレイを覗き込むようにして遊ぶ。

見える画面はオレンジ色というか赤っぽい画面で、”なんとなく” 立体に見える。

あまり売れなかったので、覚えている人も少ないのではないかと思い、【幻のゲーム機】というサブタイトルをつけてみた。

最近は、リアリティたっぷりのゴーグル型ゲーム機もある。

まったく比較にならないが、ある意味バーチャルボーイはその先駆けだろうな…。

商売としては、ひどく失敗したわけだが…。私はキャラクタ・デザインとサウンド担当だったので、ゲーム用のドット絵は作ってデータ化したが、ほとんど仕様を読んだ記憶がなく、どのようにプログラミングしたら（画像データの処理をしたら）立体に見えるのかなど何も覚えていない。

バーチャルボーイというゲーム機の開発用のマシンの名称が【VIDEO-BOY】だから、つまりはモニター（ビデオ）出力ができ、赤と緑のセロファンを貼ったメガネで見ると、モニターに映ったゲーム画面が立体に見えるということだったようだ。

開発中にバーチャルボーイ本体のゴーグルをかけたり外したりしていては、面倒でどうしようもないということで、そのような仕組みにしたのだろう。

とはいえ･･･、実際は、その「面倒（モニター画面を見ず、ゴーグルで動作確認）」をしていたと思うのだが…。

私たちは、本数も売れ、内容もわりと評判の良かったゲームボーイ用の麻雀ゲームソフトを作っていたので、それをこのバーチャルボーイ用に移植開発していたのだが、本体そのものの売れ行きが伸び悩んでいたため、開発途中で中止になった。

そういう経験（開発中止）は後にも先にもなく、初めてのことだった。

そういうわけで、私はこの【VEDEO-BOY】を使用した期間が短く、記憶も曖昧である。

ただ、「変わったゲーム機だったなあ」という強烈な印象だけは、今も残っている”

Hey Everyone,

if you read the planetvb discord you already know about this. Some time ago I tried to run an vectrex emulator on the VirtualBoy. I simply took vecx, removed everything os specific. combined it with the core of Gregs wireframe library and reduced memory usage.

The result is minestorm being emulated very slowly. I did some performance optimization myself and used an optimized version of vecx. However, some basic measurements showed that the emulator would need to be 10 to 20 times faster. I checked and Gregs library is very fast. It’s the actual emulation that is slow.

There are many things missing like sound, controls and loading games. Minestorm stops at the select screen right now. It used to start all the way but I think the newer version of vecx is waiting for inputs.

However, I’m not the one who will go ahead and optimize the emulator because that sounds very boring. If someone else wants to, you can find the sources here: https://github.com/thunderstruckProjects/virtualtrex

Attached is the Minestorm ROM and some screenshots. It looks allot better on hardware.

This is pretty damn awesome 😀
