The Virtual Boy was a critical and commercial failure, one of Nintendo's few. That being said, like other niche consoles it holds a place in the heart of many. Because it was a Nintendo system there were at least a few good games for it (Warioland being my favorite, an excellent platformer.) There is also a decent homebrew scene for the virtual boy, and even someone who created link cables for two player action that Nintendo never got around to making. So please, share your virtual boy memories, news, collections, and thoughts here!

I can let go one of my 2 spare Virtual Boy consoles to go with it. They have issues so they're not perfect but they're console only, no stand. Make offer for one. Next up is my TI 84+ calculator. I thought it would be fun to make games for it but I never did. $50 for it. Other stuff for $5 apiece: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 for N-Gage Victory Run for TurboGrafx-16 unopened Leapfrog Didj carrying case Pictures available upon request. Let me know.

First I read something somewhere about a virtual boy mod that's made that I'll let you connect a virtual Boy 2 some modern TV. Anyone know where that is? I got a couple other questions. one cannot be hooked up natively to a CRT TV in component video or RGB via SCART? Also if hooked up my HDMI is there some way to get it in 3D just like the virtual boy originally was? My TV accepts side-by-side half as a 2d compatible 3D. Also in terms of the processor are the graphics considered white monochrome and red is just the theme filter? Also I see people wondering how you stream portable video games on Twitch and mixer. This would be an answer for virtual Boy, a Nintendo has official answers for Gameboy on both Super NES and GameCube. someone was talking about a Game Gear player on the 32x cartridge where you insert the Game Gear cartridge inside the 32x cartridge. The reason why 32x is because Genesis doesn't have enough colors to accurately display game gear. and since this website is called atariage why not a Lynx player for the Jaguar? insert a lynx cartridge inside a Jaguar cartridge shell?

I was going to buy two virtual taps one for the left eye one for the right eye. Since both can be any main color plus black, I was going to make the left black and red, make the right black and cyan, and twitch in Anaglyph. There are demos of emulated virtual boys being shown in Anaglyph. Now I just got to find the easiest way to do it with real hardware. There are two choices one is called RGB the other is called VGA. 1. Should I assume that RGB is compatible with ypbpr on a standard ntsc CRT TV when you use an RGB to ypbpr color space converter? 2. Should I assume that the RGB hookup is 3 RCA and designed for an RGB to ypbpr color space converter? 3. If I find a way to physically convert scart into 3 RCA RGB, then I could use the same converter for my SCARTSega and SNES games just physically convert scars to three RCA RGB and then use that converter. 4. Can I just use the red of the left eye and the green and the blue of the right eye and they should combine the make a red and cyan anaglyph? Just wondering if that's the best and easiest route to do Sega RGB and VB RGB R/C 3D

He got two questions about the Virtual Boy. I see castlemania games has virtual tap. It cost around $70 and has the name of three Western hemisphere modders who do they recommend will mod it for you for a price. I tried writing castlemania games but it wouldn't let me in to their letter page. They don't usually let non-customers join. First of all I've seen anaglyph videos of Virtual Boy. Most are red and blue but I don't have the red and blue glasses. I do have the red and cyan glasses. From what I know in science, blue light plus green light equals cyan light. I heard you could play either left eye or right eye. Could you play both? I assume if either VGA or RGB is a simple pin connection to have the left I have the red and the right I have the Green in the blue connected. It says it could swap between 8 colors. I assume it's the seven main colors scientifically defined that isn't black, and the eighth color can you be a custom color or by default is inverse White.(black spots on white backgrounds) Is there a color switch on both sides? If so it would be easy to have independent color shifts. If you are not independent controls for left and right eye could there be a 3D mode where whatever the left eye is the right eye is the opposite. So red and Cyan are together, green and magenta are together, blue and yellow are together, pick the opposite side to flip sides. most of the video show red and blue and I've seen a cyan video before so I know the combination is possible. I know to buy it from castlemania have it sent directly to a modder along with my working Virtual Boy and pay the labor and extra parts fee. The best thing you could do is play it on a TV screen. I assume it works for VGA and RGB scart because all those have separate pins for red green and blue, adding a composite or S-Video chip would have really thrown It off. so now it's the console and pretty much anything that is not specifically analog I prefer my fightstick for, without tearing apart a virtual boy joystick, could someone add a method of getting a brook retro fight stick board working with Virtual Boy? I know it has very weird controllers. It's partly robotron control, partly NES control. what would be the ideal arrangement for most schemes using a fightstick with a virtual boy?

We tried all the US released games and concluded this is easily one of the worst systems we have ever played. Does anyone else still play this system today?

Im looking to trade my current collection for a PsVR or Nintendo Switch I dont really use my Virtual Boy anymore. The Virtual Boy would game with the headset and console stand, the power adaptor, controller and the somewhat rare Virtual Boy Hard Case! (Which goes for 90$ alone on eBay alone!) and All my Virtual Boy games! Everything works I tested it last week. The stands plastic piece broke off when I tried to movie it about a week ago. (See pics) it still works ok. The stand shouldnt be to hard to replace. I taped it temporarily so it can still stand by itself. PS: I want to sincerely thank everyone who messaged me about the PS3 trade. Though the more I thought about it the more I was scared of their reliability. Hense I just bought a stand alone PS2 system. Thanks to everyone again. Though I honestly do want to get rid of my Virtual boy. I dont use it much and its collecting dust 90% of the time. I want it to go to a good home. What Im looking for/asking for: PsVR (with camera of course) Nintendo switch if you dont want it anymore

https://drive.google.com/open?id=19e_z4iKjBzTkbXiCe3U26IieKHddQFxYbZdZ5exxyGk I have decided to narrow my collection to mostly NES and VCS games. That said I also have consoles for most of these games that will be listed when I get time to research prices. If you have interest in a certain console let me know and I will try to move it to the top of my list of things to do. The more games you want to buy, the more willing I am to work on the pricing. If you have questions, please feel free to message me. Thank you for your time and attention.

A couple of recent Nintendo Virtual Boy listing for the homebrew title "Hyper Fighting" on eBay. Both look to be new. Or at least in a condition that is close to new. One listing has already ended.but still interesting for historical purposes. out of range of my wallet. Maybe some day a release of the larger ROM will be done. Until then I hop I can see this title on the floor at at another show like it was at the Let Play Gaming Expo in Texas. Cool to play the big release rather than smaller the demo/free version download ROM .

Planetvb is hosting a Virtual Boy coding competition. The compo will run from Sept 1st until Dec 31st 2013. The winner will get their project released on 20 physical cartridges, complete-in-box. The VB has been extremely well documented. You can find everything you want to know about the hardware over at planetvb. There also exists code examples, tutorials, documentation, a coding environment, and more. Developers can use emulation to work on their projects. I am sure planetvb members would be happy to test on actual hardware using their Flash Boy linkers. The Virtual Boy is a really fun system to use and has a lot of potential. All it needs are some creative coders to release some new games and applications for the system.

For the last few months, I supplemented my money from work with sales on ebay. Now this thread will show what I have left over. There are going to be more items added eventually, and I am going to make a text only list of complete in box music cds I have at the bottom for those who are interested in buying any of those cheap from me. I buy them cheap so I will sell them equally cheap when I am done with them. All games with pictures shown are available. Ask for prices of games that don't have a price shown yet if you want them. The items will be arranged from most expensive first to cheapest last so collectors who are really into it can see the rarest stuff first. If you buy enough stuff from me at once I won't charge for shipping. I'm having a hard time selling the complete in box Atari 2600 games on ebay as the demand is low for pre-NES stuff there. Haggle with those if you want them. Sega Nomad system only - $40 Sega Game Gear system only - $30 Mr. Nutz [sNES] - $30 Bust-A-Move (complete in box) [3DO] - $30 The Incredible Hulk (complete in box) [Game Gear] - $20 Tom & Jerry (complete in box) [Game Gear] - $15 Klax (complete in box) [TurboGrafx-16] - $12 Dodge 'Em (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $12 Freeway (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $12 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (complete in box) [Game Gear] - $10 Astroblast (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $10 Breakout (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $10 Red Alarm [Virtual Boy] - $10 Asteroids (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $9 Defender (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $8 Night Driver (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $8 Missile Command (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $8 Pole Position (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $8 Video Pinball (complete in box) [Atari 2600] - $7 Mario's Tennis [Virtual Boy] - $5 Keith Courage in Alpha Zones [TG-16] - $2 Games I have that need pictures and/or prices: Tetris (complete in box) [CD-i] - $15 Mutant Rampage: Bodyslam (complete in box) [CD-i] - $15 CIB CD-i movies: Star Trek VI Naked Gun 33 1/3 Guardian War (complete in box) [3DO] Xbox Console with composite cable 007: Agent Under Fire (complete in box) [Xbox] The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (complete in box) [Xbox] Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee (with MS employee store sticker) (complete in box) [Xbox] Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee (Platinum Hits) (complete in box) [Xbox] Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath (complete in box) [Xbox] Shenmue II (complete in box) [Xbox] Madden NFL '07 [Xbox] Sega Genesis Model 1 console only Nintendo GameCube (black) console only Double Dragon (complete in box) [sega Master System] Dragon Spirit [TurboGrafx-16] Nintendo Power Magazines and guides shown in the pictures List of music cds I have available to sell. $2 each and complete in box unless noted.

Got a working VB and don't have time to repair this one anyway. Left eye works. Main unit, eye shade. (no carts, no controller) Offers? Trade for VB cart(s)? Wouldn't be tough to come up with something I don't have since I only have Mario's Tennis, Mario Clash, Galactic Pinball, Teleroboxer. (quite busy lately so might not respond quickly)
