I’m happy to post mine once I get some newer pictures of my room. Maybe later on today. It’s a bit messy since I’ve got a bunch of stuff out from redecorating for the holidays.
It’s partially to avoid copyright issues as it is an unofficial port of a Capcom game (If I recall correctly). Distributing it would bring a bunch of problems for those involved and it would wind up like every other fan game, with a C&D, etc.
I also think it’s the choice of the devs and people involved in the project since it’s something they all poured money and time into making. They made a demo available for people wanting to give it a go.
I kid I kid, and I get it. For me it just takes away the experience of the amazing 3D graphics that the lasers trick us into 🙂 but I get it for the purposes of development and testing on a computer!
Oh I agree. Nothing will ever beat playing the real thing. I made a USB controller for emulating purposes but I think this would be better so no controllers need to be sacrificed.
You’re looks great how you did it and it makes sense to have a Virtual Girl if there is a Virtual Boy. If this system hadn’t tanked who knows maybe they would have made a pink one for people or a case to swap on! Seems like it would be pretty easy once taken apart, but I better like it as no one will want to buy a jacked up green VB unit!
It was pretty easy to do. The only thing that kept me from finishing sooner was the virtual girl logo was constantly being delayed by the printer.

Welcome! I think I saw you post on Facebook. Your collection looks familiar 🙂
Thank you thank you! I have seen your posts on the Facebook page as well. You’re probably the only one with a custom pink Virtual Girl! That’s creative!
Ill likely end up selling my second unit but if I don’t I wouldn’t mind a like green one that’s my favorite color 🙂
That would be me with the Virtual Girl lol. If you do wind up painting it, I wanna see pics! I love seeing customs.

why would you want to play the VB on your PC? Just play your VB on your VB!
To me I see it as not everyone can afford some of the games or has a Flash Boy to play them. This is also makes it easier for people to use emulation to capture clear footage of games without needing a bunch of equipment.
Welcome to the forum and the community! I think you’re in good hands here. A lot of use enjoy the retro aspect of gaming. Most of my gaming is on a retro system of some sort while my new consoles collect dust. Speaking of collections, you got a pretty sweet setup there!
I gotta agree with Speedyink, the VB community is by far the most welcoming, kind, and generous gaming community I’ve been a part of.
BTW do I sense a Pokemon fan? If so, I’m a bit of a Pokemaniac, myself *high five*
Ah ok thanks Kevin! I wasn’t 100% sure on which one of the awesome dudes here it belonged to.
I’m still stumped as to why it’s not letting me map the A and B buttons. I’m gonna try it on my PC and see if it’s isolated to my Mac only. I’ve done everything according to DogP’s writeup. I’m gonna blame my Mac or OpenEmu
