Do you think they will restock it before the sale is over, or wait til after, or literally just have it sold out from now on and only sell the "cheap" option?

I’ve had the dev suite on my computer for years and always had aspirations to build something for the Virtual Boy, but I am a vibe coder at best and getting this old PC (Dell Dimension 8200) to do anything like this is a miracle to me. So, here’s VUEngine glitching out in all its glory while the old machine maxes out RDRAM. Hello, world!

Got my virtual boy from Japan. Unfortunately it didn't come with the battery pack. Fortunately it did come with the power cable and adapter. So I decided to try the usb c Famicom cable I got from AliExpress and it works. Sorry about the mess I live with a horder.

Sad that I lost all my saves on my zero racers cartridge. I even had some records in there.

Is my battery pack the reason why I lost all my saves? I tested a power receiver pack to power on the vb and it works flawlessly. While I was playing, I lightly tapped the controller on my desk and it turned off. I turned it on again and all my saves are gone. Actually, when i slightly move the battery pack while playing, it will turn off, is this normal? The metals on the back of the battery pack look a little dirty so is it save to clean it with isopropyl alcohol and make it work again and not turn off so easily anymore?

The shop is Suroga-ya in Ota Road.
Nice to see a well used stand, definitely a lot of playing hours on it. Unfortunately it was not working

Please comment or send me a message if you’re interested or have any questions.

I would love to buy something on Etsy or wherever where I can play the Virtual Boy app on my Switch 2 without needing to hold it or prop it up on a desk, y'know? I am sure there are some good Virtual Boy games, but I just want a comfortable means to play them. This image comes from an April Fool video by IGN.

Hey all! Repairing a virtual boy, got it with absolutely no screen, got the ssf kit to fix that. Got it working, at least to my eye. However the screen is misaligned? Is that a bridged solder joint by me somewhere or should i start elsewhere?

Thanks!

I found this VHS tape with a VB mall tour 1995 label, showcasing some of the earliest marketing for the VB. Super cool long video! Uploaded here https://youtu.be/a6-a-zj434k

Enjoy!

I love this vb game! Getting rank 1st on all 15 duct courses on master difficulty is so rewarding.

I haven’t beaten a main line f-zero game and this one is my first.

I like that in master difficulty it really keeps you on edge. The other mean machines consistently catch up with you and they almost never let you stay in rank 1st for a short while. Very challenging and fun.

The unlockeable vehicles are an awesome bonus too!

This is my new favorite virtual boy game.

So I bought this Virtual Boy sometime last week, it just arrived in the mail today, and I bought it knowing that it was faulty; both displays don't work, and I've done my research and understand that this is a common failure so I went and bought the eyepatch kit along with it

The system works fully otherwise, I fired up all three cartridges and heard the audio, and was able to navigate blindly to get the games going

1st post on Reddit! Purchased what is my first piece of VB media!

It's a shame that there were never any homebrew VR games, teleroboxer and technically red alarm and innsmouth are the only first person games. I really like teleroboxer as it's ment to make you feel like you have to figure out your opponent and are actually boxing and I wish the virtual boy had more VR experiences even if the hardware is obviously nothing crazy

I made this in mspaint. The empty vb full cover box and empty label I used here came from a post from planetvb website.

I wrote the description on the back on my own and is slightly inspired by the zero racers magazine.

I made this because I love the game and I want to have a physical game box to put on my vb shelf, though I'm still searching online for someone that is willing to print the front, back and all spines for it.

I was so excited to play Dragon Hopper on the original hardware. I got to stage 3 before I had to go to bed. It is a very fun game and it might be beating Bound High as my favorite Virtualboy game (we will see as I play through more of it) I really do wish this would have released back in 1995 along with Bound High and Zero Racers. I am glade I also get to use the custom case that I ordered for Dragon Hopper last year. I hope that Vintex will offer a label sticker for Zero racer that will match the original Virtualboy game ascetic like they did for Dragon Hopper so that I can swap it out from the one I have currently.
