Unless somebody does it before me, I also plan to make a nice PDF instruction booklet for Jockey Zero, but for now:

Good idea!

I see you’ve already got a good start on the game dialogue too!
If you want to see anymore of the game let me know, I can definitely record more for you.

No. It’d be nice for it to appear, but nothing yet.

This is awesome, thanks Ben! This will be so useful for anyone wanting to play this game. I certainly learned a lot from this, now I might stand a fighting chance!

Very cool! Good eye!

Glad to see this is still being developed!

Sounds great!

Geez, with that many you’re sure to win!!

Very cool to see a full stack of them. I do like that color effect it creates

Crap! I must have missed it when I did the bulk upload. Here it is.

Very cool, even though it’s super basic. Never known about that one. What else have you been hiding from us? =P

Very cool! A Vectrex is always one of those things I’ve wanted. Playing it on the VB seems like a good fit!

Also fascinated that another emulator is made for the VB, not an easy task I’m sure!

I don’t know about it being much more valuable or sought after than a standard VB, being that it’s just the head unit and not the rest of the display. I think it’s one of those things where it wouldn’t increase value a ton, but more of a cool thing for the owner to know about the history of the unit.

You’ve definitely got something funky there, very well could be a countertop display unit.

Unfortunately you’ll need a game to see anything on the screen. Without a game you’ll hear the vibration of the screen but nothing will display on the screen. You’ll a game to properly test. Since you’ll need a game anyway I’d suggest getting either the battery pack or a AC tap, no need to mess around with a 9V battery.

Mmmm, minty fresh

Thanks! I’m glad the quality is good enough. I can always record more if you’d like to see some more of the game. The translations of the booklet are helping me understand the game a bit better, I mean I could get the gist of it before but now I know the strategy WAY better. As you can see in the video I’m not exactly dominating races yet =P
If you do decide you want to translate the game screens definitely post your findings =D

They’ve been resealed then. Japanese games arrived in pack size boxes but the individual games were never sealed in plastic.

Ok, I’ve finally got a decent gameplay video uploaded. Enjoy!

There was one race I had to edit out as my camera screwed up and it wasn’t complete footage, so that is why there’s a spot which skips a bit.

Excellent work as usual. It’s great to see this off to a good start already!

I couldn’t believe it, lol.

So I’ve recorded the intro and stuff, but that’s as far as I got because it seems no matter how I set my camera shutter speed you can see the lines from the CRT/camera mismatch. I don’t have a capture setup and I thought the CRT would look nicer to record, with the crisp look and deep blacks. Turns out I can’t stop the line from eventually showing up at some point.

Now I gotta setup camp on an LCD TV.

I will say for now that the intro is not FMV or anything, and it’s so simple it could easily be done on the Virtual Boy. I would doubt if it would have been any different to what they were already planning.

Here’s what I have so far

So I grab my playstation I got randomly from somewhere, I don’t even know where I got it anymore, it’s been sitting around my house forever. I take all the screws out, modchip in hand. Tear the metal plating off, take out the remainder screws that’s holding the board in and take it out, and flip it over to inspect…..And there’s a modchip just sitting there soldered in. Well stupid me never thought to actually try the damn thing out before finding/ordering a modchip and waiting for it to arrive…here I could have been playing it as soon as I got the game!

Oh well, now I got a spare mod chip. I’m gonna go play some Jockey Zero!
