Hmm, that must be a forum bug then. Hopefully it is caused by the emptyness of the forum and will no longer be an issue as soon as it contains at least one thread.
There were some massive spam attacks in the last few days (again). Tons and tons of really disgusting spam forum posts and PMs advertising fake luxury watches and such. Deleted it all and a few hundred spam accounts. Banned some more email domains. Unfortunaly this won’t prevent more spam attacks in the future. 🙁
I wanted to see how my mockup screenshot would work in motion, also I wanted to try out my idea for a pseudo 3d effect based on parallax scrolling.
I have lots of ideas for an action platformer and I would love to make more out of this tiny mockup. At my working pace, don’t expect anything before 2030, though. 😉

The animation of the character is great, too. The only thing I’d add is the torso bobbing up and down a bit while walking.
Yeah, that’d look better! I am happy that I could get something done that looks OKish at all. I couldn’t even get the arms right, so I let those out completely. But hey, it’s a robot, it can somehow keep balance without using its arms. 😉

Hello, I’m bumping a very old topic instead of making a new one.
I signed up for PlanetVB in 2009, and I don’t use the email address anymore that I used to sign up. Can you please change my email as well if I PM you the one I want it changed to?
Hideyuki Nakanishi also mentioned a possible positive effect on the eyes in our interview with him:
[…] the president tried to start making a software for correcting eyesight. Many developers had a similar idea in that time. The stereoscopic capability of Virtual Boy is effective in trainig the muscle of eyeballs actually. However, most people believed that Virtual Boy is bad for eyes.

i actually enjoyed this article so much that i think we should reach out and ask permission to mirror it here. if/when that link goes down that article may get lost forever.
I think so, too. This article is full of very valuable information and should both be preserved and made available to a broader audience. 🙂
So I immediately reached out to the author after reading the article to ask for permission to reprint it here, and quickly got a very kind reply. As expected, there’s a contract between the website, FastCompany, and the author, Benj Edwards, that makes the article a timed exclusive. Benj still holds all the rights, so we will be able to post the article here probably in 2017. In the meantime, I am going to create myself a private copy just in case and do a little news post about it and link to the article on FastCompany. They deserve all the clicks ans support they can get; they’re funding such fantastic journalism after all, which sadly has become a rare thing in the 2015 interwebz with all its Youtube channels, HuffPostiness and clickbait crap.
Wow, thanks for posting this speedyink! That’s by far the best researched and written VB article I have ever read and I learned a lot of new things. Hopefully it will be able to change the image of the VB in general consciousness and correct some of the many misconceptions that are still cemented in way too many heads.

Can I ask that the 2 VN9 units be placed at the bottom of the list as they were proven to be restickered later production systems? I only ask this because I am facing having to sell the lowest serial # system and I am worried that those 2 units being at the top might reflect badly to a potential buyer. Thanks.
True, those should not be mixed with the regular serial numbers.
It is unfortunately not possible to define custom tags in Xoops without hacking them in.
But I don’t quite get the purpose of such an ebay tag anyway, and you did’t provide any real arguments either. What would be the advantage to the user? Wouldn’t using it take even more time and effort than just copy and pasting in the complete link? STRG+L,C,V and you’re done, the forum software makes the link clickable automatically. Or am I missing something?

But, I think talking to thunder that there is an image behind it and it wouldn’t work.
Creating 4 solid colors is not really a problem, you just have to place a completely black image under the actual image. The black color in the “backdrop” image is achieved through a different palette, which sets one of the solid colors as black.
Actually, the Japanese and US carts of VB Wario Land hold identical ROM images. The game is completely in English, so there’s no language barrier no matter which version you get. 🙂
Amazing, thunder! While those all sound very interesting, I am especially looking forward to 1 and 3. I’d love to add the music converter as well as the 2D to 3D image converter to VBDE’s toolchain. Also, the PCM music engine would be a nice addition to the VBJaEngine, if you’re OK with that. 🙂
