Step 7: CAREFULLY remove your stencil and let the paint dry

Wow Retro, thanks for all of those steps!:-)

Congrats DanB so nice to know that this kit is in the hands of a PVB programmer…

Also on another note is there any way to know the other bidders and contact them? I was talking w/ another PVB member and he said they are probably collectors themselves and probably programmers no tellin what they already possess in their collection!

Maybe you and your son can do a joint project to make a virtual kid 🙂

Maybe someday Retro. If I did a Virtual Kid mod I would have to ask a ton of questions. Just please keep your process documented OK.

Seriously sweet Retro! keep up the nice work!:thumbup: My six year old son saw your work and said “I wish they made a Virtual Kid it would be blue and black”. so your work is inspiring us all.;-)

I think that could work to effectively change the tone purple. 🙂
blue lenses plus the red color LEDs would equal purple.

You may be onto something I might have to look into that.

If you do decide to get custom lenses please let us know where you got them.

And unknowingly you have made a pun [“I may have to look into that”)…In more ways than one:-D

Very nice mock up indeed. Too bad you can’t change the colors of the LED’s

The official link cable today, Dragon Hopper tomorrow! Well anyway I can dream…right

Always a good laugh VectrexRoli2 😀 And as always very informative. The best of both worlds thanks VectrexRoli2:)

Nintendo’s view of the Rift doesn’t surprise me all that much. Nintendo has always been about family not the bottom dollar like the other guys. I’m proud of Nintendo for taking this direction.

Well said, everyone who owns a VB should have a FlashBoy in their collection.

A Flashboy….HA…Listen to you. With the link cable coming soon I recommend multiple. At least two!

Sorry Doc for jumping to conclusions, I just got a little scared that’s all.

Let’s not forget Bound High, it’s easily the best game for the system. Oh and you might want to pick up a flashboy too for all of your homebrew needs, and to play all of the games ever released to boot ;-):vb:

I’ve thought about this several times and I feel that Nintendo failed on 2 accounts that’s why the Virtual Boy was such a flop. Nintendo really had a chance to change gaming forever and they failed.

First I feel that Nintendo should of packed a VCR tape in w/ the Virtual Boy. It would have previews of games to come but have breaks in the middle showing how to properly align the system.

Second software support the system should of had a packed in Metroid game.

Nintendo was too selfish and they wanted all profit and no effort and now the Virtual Boy is a by word in gaming history

Just in case this doesn’t go w/o saying. If I were you Id become better friends w him before asking. You may get a lot further if he doesn’t see the question coming. And after all you might make a good friend.

I remember this guy from the Donkey Kong Country Video. Equally as fun. I think they were really going for what it could be like not what it was like. I would of been more impressed w/ real game footage.
