Its pretty heavy with the Japanese, but it’s a fun little game! I like the sort of “immersion” they were going for, which starts as soon as you click on the .exe

Yes, this is the same seller, a member of NintendoAge that I’ve spoken with privately about the game. He knows absolutely nothing about Virtual Boy protos or collecting and admits as much. His reasoning for this high price was “I don’t know much about the VIrtual Boy, but I know it’s obscure so I priced this proto around the same as one would price a TurboGrafx16 proto”, or something to that effect. So he doesn’t know what he has, and doesn’t know what it is (or isn’t) worth.
That’s funny I spoke to him too, but on a different forum. I got the exact same answer.
It may have not been listed for a while too, I am talking like half a year or longer ago. Pics look the same, so I’m sure it’s the same guy, and the price is the exact same as it was before.
Well of all the people to get it I’m glad it’s you Ben. Now I know it won’t be lost into someones cupboard, but scanned and uploaded onto the site for everyone to see. Great to hear!
That looks like something they’d give attendees to a trade show of some sort so they could see the VB footage in 3D. It’s the early Virtual Boy logo that leans me in that direction.
Looking at the DefleMask forums it looks like they do a poll when they’re looking to add support for new systems. We should keep our eyes out for that.
Otherwise, all they other options sound great too. It would be awesome to have multiple options available to choose from.

I get ultra paranoid about opening Nintendo’s cheapo cardboard boxes too many times as you increase the likelihood of creasing the side flap.
Lol, I hear ya, when I get a new game it’s like surgery opening the box.
Oohh, that’s a battle you might not want to start =P I sure did like the cases Nintendo provided in the OG Gameboy era. Compared to the Virtual boy dust sleeve though (more akin to the SNES dust sleeve), definitely less protective.
Good eye though. I have a bunch of those GG cases (with carts in them, but still). Good to know it’s a good fit!

I didn’t realize this. I’m gonna have to play around with it. I love making music, haven’t done much with MIDI but I know my keyboard supports it.

In that vein, Jorgeche and me are currently preparing a crowdfunding campaign on Patreon. We hope to raise enough monthly donations to be able to work less on our day jobs and instead spend that time on working on the VUEngine and making Virtual Boy games. It would be incredible if we could find enough support to turn our passion into a part time of even full time job and being able to release regular new CIB Virtual Boy games. :vb:
I wonder how long it would last on that sort of setup, since the battery you’ve made would be technically rated at 7.2V. It would be cool to see how it performs over a period of time and if the system is ok with that voltage, cause having a rechargeable battery pack would be sweet!
