Hi.

I am by no means an expert on the VB, however, for a time I was watching eBay almost daily. What I can tell you is that I often see damaged units (usually just requiring soldering) with no games and often no controller/stand, for around $30-50 (with shipping). Your value will be in the complete package, and especially in your games, the eye shade, and the stand (if it is 100% complete). If you sell it to someone from this site, you will most likely be giving it a good home.

Cheers and good luck!

This might be the part where it’s a good idea to explain that the game is a satire on the Yume Nikki fan game concept; it’s a joke. Only one of the effects has a function (aside from opening a door), and the bike deliberately does not speed you up. The deeper meaning is simply what’s on the surface. Delicious.

Hi. Having no context for the game or its character, I was really confused if I had reached the ending or not. Thank you for your explanation!

Hi.
So, I got to a screen that said FIN after Nina jumped to what seemed like her death? Is this the ending?

I collected a bunch of items (pizza server, 3d glasses, a bike, a manga) but none of them seemed to do anything. The manga got me through a door, but I found nothing useful inside. The bike said it would make me go faster, but did not. I’m confused…

Is the point of the game to collect the items and then to make that jump or am I missing out on something?

I also wanted to ask, are there plans to add music or sound effects? I feel like both would greatly enhance the game.

I hope no one minds that I have attached a padded copy of the 7.19.19 ROM to this post. It was padded using method #3 with the default size (21 – 2MB) and has been confirmed to boot on actual hardware.

Thanks!

I’ll be sure to post an update when I’ve fixed the framerate issue!

I am looking forward to that! Thanks!

i’ve been here for a little while and this is honestly one of the nicest communities i’ve been involved in.

I am horrible at searching this forum. I always look to Ben to post specific answers! lol. There is a thread here that discusses the mirrors and servos. There were things discussed with electronics as well as just bending things back into place. After reading your 1st post I instantly recalled this thread because I think it will relate to what you are experiencing. I just can’t find it! Help, Ben?

Andrew Borman (a video game preservationists) at The Strong Museum in Rochester, NY spoke with me about wanting a way to capture VB game-play. If anyone would be interested in a donation, he can be reached here: aborman@museumofplay.org

Cheers!

I have a family member who was a manager at more than one GameStop. This person has stories of corporate telling them to smash retro trade-ins with a hammer to increase demand.

Is this an automatic machine that uses the Game Boy to do sewing or is that just there because someone made a hole and put it there?

I’ve had many a retail management positions. With almost certainty I can suggest that top-side up labels were done by employees who were told to apply stickers and did so with the understanding that it was a case for carrying. Bottom-side down labels were probably done by managers who understood the case was part of the sales presentation (EG: the label faces the side of the case that opens).

I like this list idea, however, I feel that I should point out that you will not be able to edit the 1st post forever. Eventually this thread will be a collection of posts, without a central list.

With that said…

Retro City Rampage has the Virtual Meat Boy stage.

Compile? So your issue is with your own code not working on hardware?

To run on the FB/FB+ your ROM will need to be 2MB. Is the padding program outputting the correct file size?

I like the look of that design. It reminds me of the ’90s.

Hi. Perhaps this will help? http://projectvb.com/rechargepack.html

Kevin,
You’ve brought so much life back into my VB these past few years! Thank you! I can’t wait for the MultiBoy 32!

I have a pretty unique VB collection. Check my PVB profile page. Anyways, I own this… It’s JB (with all hacks applied) on a reproduction board w/custom label.

It’s the only “reproduction” I’ve ever seen. Mega Ran did a Freestyle holding it once. =O

Hi,
You can not vote on Patreon or comment without an account. Just FYI.

Cheers!

I would 100% trust ThunderStruck to compare your ROM with what we have. He has done some amazing things for this community already (hacks, translation work, homebrew, applications, coding, etc). He also works in computers and is very knowledgeable about the VB.

Just my 2 cents!~

I’ve been on the Internet since it’s conception. I started on VAX dummy terminals browsing Web sites with text only. One thing I learned early on was to provide different information for different sign-ups. Worst thing someone got off me is they know one of my throwaway e-mail accounts (already heavily tweaked for spam) and had a chance (for over a year?) to access my PVB account.

After reading this thread, that password has just been made more defend-able. =)

That’s funny, and a good find. It’s the type of mistake an editor would catch on a later read and probably think no one would ever notice.
