Thanks to thaddius for the news tip!

Have you guys seen this? http://www.planetvb.com/modules/misc/?h 🙂

Niko Chan Battle is actually a sloppy direct translation of the Japanese title of Faceball. 🙂 A common misconception at the time of writing of that article.

Here are scans, btw: http://www.planetvb.com/modules/articles/?s034133001

Download on this forum are handed over by a PHP script, so this is probably why we can’t view the MPO files directly. This is nothing I could change unfortunately. :-/

@RunnerPack: Interesting, thanks for the info! Looks I can use MPOs then. I only need a little script that splits them on the fly and hands the separate JPEGs over to the stereoscope applet in the desktop version of Planet 3DS, while the MPOs are shown directly in the mobile version of the site, when viewed on a 3DS. 🙂

I need to experiment with the 3DS browser anyway, have a few ideas I’d like to give a try, like an online Virtual Console. But since the 3DS browser neither supports Flash, nor Java, the only option would a JavaScript-based emulator, which should be horribly slow. 😀

I’ve now implemented an option to turn the new PM notifcations on or off. It can be found under http://www.planetvb.com/modules/profile/edituser.php.

Please report any problems with the new feature. 🙂

It’s not a PVB issue. It’s the 3DS, which sends only the automatically generated preview JPGs, instead of the actual stereoscopic MPO file.

I tried copying both the JPG and MPO to my computer and attaching them from there. Unfortunately, I can’t open the MPO from the 3DS.

Hopefully I can figure it out, because it would be great if we could exchange stereo images on here and especially Planet 3DS. Plus it would be great to be able to show 3D screenshots on Planet 3DS if viewed on a 3DS, via the MPO format.

Already 6:30 on the 7th here, no update yet…

More items sold, list updated.

Updated the list and marked sold items.

@DisizDream: It’s http://www.online-druck.biz/.

I skipped an appointment this evening and got around to update the list with prices. Original post updated. 🙂

You do international shipping?

Yes!

I wait the price list.

I might not get around to that too soon. You can also send me a list of the stuff you want and I’ll make you a cheaper price for the whole package. 🙂

Don’t worry, I will keep one Virtual Boy plus my FlashBoys and I will definitely continue running this site as long as I can. Not loosing interest, just can’t afford dozens of big boxes sitting in my closet, collecting dust. Some might call my tiny current apartment a mousehole. 😉

I would first like to give people on PVB the chance to pick stuff from it for their collections, and it would be great if the rare stuff would remain inside the community. Eventually, I will probably put the remaining stuff on ebay.

@colesonwilson: It’s very hard to give values for both items, so the price is “highest offer”. 😉 This applies especially to the VUE-Debugger, which is a rare version 1 prototype unit. It has a PS/2 controller port as on the Shoshinkai units and no link port. It’s the only prototype debugger I have ever seen. The less rare Video Boy that was on ebay last year I think had a five figure price tag, so this could give a vague idea of the Debugger’s value. 😯

@Fwirt: I also think that the VB is of not enough interest to them. Although a museum would be a good place for at least the debugger.

Yep, still got carts!

A little update to the offer: replacement boxes for the original FlashBoy are now available as well. They come with a quick reference card and a replacement cart sticker. Images and more details can be found in the first post.

@DisizDream: I used a german online print service, so probably none of interest for you. I can tell you which paper I chose, though. It was 300 g/m² Ensogloss, hope that helps.

Thanks mate! I am glad it arrived well. 🙂

I got my FB+ box in the mail. It was extremely well packaged, carefully wrapped in newspaper and secured inside of a box. The FB+ box is professionally designed and built from quality materials. If you were to buy a FB+ from a store this is the box you would expect to get with it. The box is complete with information, a UPC code, images, bright glossy colors, and a tray to hold the donor cart. Anyone who get a FB+ and wants the full experience should order the box.

I paid KR155E directly using Paypal and he shipped out the box a few days later. He is 100% trustworthy (though most of you probably know that), and you should have no worries about paying using Paypal.

Thanks again KR155E, my FB+ is now complete! =)

I thought of scanning a VB reference (it was a mini-quiz) I saw in last month’s Nintendo Power, but would that count? its not an old issue… 😕

Sure! 🙂
