ooh, you were talking about a vb store display? well, then 61 dollars sound like a great deal! pictures would definitely be nice, i would like to see the box and everything. 🙂
uh yeah, cool news. 😀
there’s definitely interest in translation patches. i think there was a thread about a space squash translation here before.
an insmouse patch would be nice too and especially one for virtual fishing would make the game much more playable. but i don’t remember ever seeing any japanese text in v-tetris.
Soo KR155E… where do you stumble upon things such as a dev system and that factory box of VBaseball games you have?
those baseball factory boxes were on ebay years ago in large numbers, you could get one for under $50, which is like 1 buck per game. that was the point when the value of the game sank from ~$15 to ~$1. 😀
i got the dev system from a very kind guy from the uk, who found it (plus a snes dev system) on his attic and posted about it in a newsgroup, asking what it could be. i contacted him and in the end he sent me both units for free. 😀
Wait, when you guys say dev kit, do you actually mean those software machines the 3rd party companies used in making the games?? Cool!
not only third party, there was only one dev system. click here.
well, what did you expect? this site is about virtual boy (aka virtual wtf?!). ;D small community, slow boards. sadly.
anyway, i don’t know for how much virtual boys normally go in the states, but i always thought they were cheaper than that?
currently, only vide correctly emulates direct-to-screen rendering used in all t&e soft titles, including 3d tetris. so the only way to play it in an emulator is to get yourself a mac. :/
you can find several demos with good documented source in the games > homebrewn section. have a look at runnerpack’s “Hello, World! Demo” or lameboy’s “VeeBee Cursor Demo“, those are the ones which got me started.
also have a look at the documents section. and if there are any questions, there’s always our nice community. ^_^
just yesterday i read in another forum, that the nintendo customer service still gets a lot of calls about the virtual boy, especially regarding the display cables. they don’t support vb directly though, but “point people to websites.”
still no luck? do you have backups of the source to go back to a point where the code is working on hardware? then you could add the changes you made since then one by one and test it every time to see what causes it to not run.
if you can’t find a solution maybe posting the source could be helpful for other people to have a look at it?
