Ime Wario, Ime gonna wine! Very nice, a great achievement! 🙂
Can the scratchy background noise be filtered out somehow or is it unavoidable?

Recently on ebay:

It’d only compress graphic data, though, right? Level data in BLOX 2 is structs containing arrays of numbers (u8) like this:

const struct level LEVEL_METAMORPH_1 =
{
1,
{{2,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,2,2,2},
{2,8,2,0,2,1,8,8,1,2,0,2,8,2},
{2,8,2,0,2,2,5,5,5,2,0,2,8,2},
{2,8,2,0,2,4,8,8,8,2,0,2,8,2},
{2,2,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,2,2,2}}
};

No… I didn’t even have the idea to compress stuff. Are there any compression methods available? That would be quite interesting.

Thanks, guys!

jojobean: I put in so many levels simply because I could. If there had been room for it, I would have added even more, but I used up ROM (and RAM) space up to the last KB. 😛

This scan is even 400 DPI. 😉

Thanks, but I think I’d just try to get a cheap third party one. 😉

Here’s the cart scan, probably too low res for printing as I thought. Wish I had a better scanner. 🙁

I have scans of several VB carts at home, because I am in the middle of rescanning all boxes, carts, manuals, etc in high resolution. I don’t think they’re good enough for reprints, though. If someone wants to make some, I’d be glad to post them on the site. 🙂

Not quite cheap… I got a “wall to mini usb” adapter with my Dingoo Digital A320, maybe that would fit. I need to check that when I am at home.

Nice! Glossy or Non-Glossy screen?

Do you have a chance to get your hands on a MagSafe adapter? My Space Squash and Insmouse might come complete in boxes. 😀

Did I mention yet that i absolutely LOVE your VB 3D models, Hedgetrimmer? 😀 Great work! I am already looking forward to the next update you give us about your work.

Which size is the LCD?

How much does it weigh?

How long does the battery run?

I assume I’d need to get myself a magsafe adapter then (how else should I charge the battery)? Can a german adapter be used?

Would 512KB RAM be enough to run Windows XP in Virtual Box for VB Dev on the train? 😀

My Jack Bros is gone, but I have Insmouse and Squash and maybe I am interested in a trade. Will wait for specs and pictures. 🙂

Hah! VERY nice! Will be interesting to see if you can get dust caps and cart cases made, especially clear ones.

It’s the same in both versions. 🙁

Fantastic! A really inspiring tech demo! Also thanks a lot for including the source once again. 🙂

It has a serious bug, though: I tried it on FlashBoy and the objects are randomly “flickering” up and down. Like a fourth of all objects is randomly changing heights. I tried to take a screenshot but, unfortunately, it was not good enough to see the details.

I moved the list to the wiki, also added a list of manufacturer IDs, as RunnerPack suggested.

Amazing! That came surprising. I can’t wait to try it out at home. 🙂

A list of manufacturers codes is a great idea, will do that soon.

The D stands for Demo. 🙂 I would have used G if it was only Deutsch aka german. The final version will be VB2M, with M for Multi Language.

Horvat: I used PD because it is a widely used synonym for homebrews, for example in the Good Tools.
