Here’s a mock up screenshot that shows how the game might look eventually:

Hey Max,
The hardware you meant was that: <http://www.vr32.de/hardware/verschiedenes/vue_debugger/video_boy/index.htm>, a Video Boy.
You can stick a video camera into the Virtual Boy, and connect the cam to a TV for “live pictures”. I tried that once and the output picture was good, didn’t tape anything though. A good idea would be too darken the room or put a towel on the VB and the cam, so that no light comes in. That makes the picture better.
What was that TV show you mentioned? Did you review the VB on some videogame show or something like that? Now you made me very curious
KR155E
Wow Dan, this looks KEWL, looks like a lot of fun! :woah:
Any idea yet which and how much mini games you plan to put in it? Any making essential use of the 3D?
I am speechless for now…
KR155E
I’ve been sitting in it! I’ve been sitting in it! Woot!

Die Frage ist nur, haben die auch schon VBs in der Deutschland Filiale?
Freeze sagte, dass die bis jetzt kaum was im Lager haben.
KR155E
Ahhhrgh!
/me slaps Freeze for making me envious
I can’t stop the drool flooding out right now ~_~
Does your car have those red flashing lights in the front, too, like KITT?
KR155E
Servus CodeFish!
Willkommen unter den Virtual Boy Freaks! :vbsmile:
Bei Lik-Sang gibts zur Zeit nur nackte VBs, ohne jegliches Zubehör… die sind zwar einigermaßen günstig, aber ein kompletter von ebay wäre zur Zeit eher zu empfehlen, denn Versandkosten aus Hong Kong kämen ja auch noch hinzu.
VB Toptitel sind:
Galactic Pinball
Red Alarm
VB Wario Land
Wenn du Fragen zur Programmierung hast, dann rein damit ins Development Forum. Spätestens dann aber am besten in Englisch, da die meisten Forum User kein Deutsch sprechen und die wirklich fähigen Leute in dem Gebiet alles Amis sind

That’s a tough question, hmm I think it would be either A Link To the Past or Ocarina of Time. Silent Hill, Super Mario Bros 3 and Perfect Dark are close to them and probably a lot more which I forgot…
KR155E
How do you do this without knowing Korean, Freeze? o_O
Well, Day of the Tentacle came out in 1993 by Lucas Arts and was the successor to Maniac Mansion which you might know. It has an incredibly neat graphical style, great animations, a big portion of humor and what-not. Try it out
KR155E
What do you think about RE0? I hated it more the further I progressed in the game, it just offered nothing new, besides the two “two-player” system which they had to make more out of… why didn’t they make it a real 2 player game?
Well I am playing Day of the Tentacle again, on gpScummVM.. Ah the memories, what a great game it was and still is! Too bad that 2D Point&Click Adventures like that or Indiana Jones are not made anymore today I didn’t play Sam&Max or any Monkey Island game yet, though, so there will be lot to do after I finished DOTT

A japanese Counter style Design Phase display:

KR155E
This looks like a REALLY good idea :woah: This is so easy and good at the same time that someone MUST have thought about it. If not, patent it! Here are some thoughts that came to my mind when viewing the sheet:
This system would “only” allow paralax-like 3D effects, no effective scaling or 3D images, just sprites on different layers.
Would it need a lot of energy to display 5 or more LEDs at once?
How big would you want the LEDs to be?
KR155E
/me hopes too :->
Here’s even another Display on Yahoo Japan:
<http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c43409472>
I can’t believe how common and cheap they seem to be in Japan
KR155E
You lucky bastard, heh :-):woah:
What games did you get? And what condition?

The japanese “Demo” VB is also known as “Mosaic Box VB”, it’s the first batch of japanese Virtual Boys sent to stores with the Nintendo Store Displays, very rare. The main difference to normal japanese VBs is the box, which has a pixellated grey VB instead of a red one on it. Here are links to some pics: <http://web34.webbox239.server-home.net/pvb/hardware/vb/index.e.htm>
I don’t know yet if the link cable works, I’m waiting for 2 Tron VB carts from DogP so I can test it. DogP’s Tron VB and Tic Tac Toe are the only games using the link cable at the moment (For info look under Games>Selfmade).

Queens of the Stone Age – Songs for the Deaf
Anone knows this one? Has a few lows but also breath-taking heights, definitely a great piece of music. *jump* *scream*

Hey tanooki!
The Virtual Boy AC Adapter is exactly the same as the SNES one, but I think you have to use a US one, because others won’t fit. But give it a try with your UK Adapter anyway, maybe they have different plugs than the german ones which don’t fit.
(On a side note, DrAetzn said that his german SNES Adapter did fit, but mine doesn’t :-?)
KR155E
That’s what Runnerpack opened up the “Bug Reports/Feature Requests Thread”… but you have a good point there, I am gonna think about it.
Oh, and welcome to the board Rocksteady!
