User Cyberdyne from "Planet Virtual Boy" created this weird hybrid:

I respect the Cyberdyne's work, but from mine point of view it's the weirdest VR mod ever.
Actually VFX-1 was what Nintendo wanted to achieve in affordable price-range, but them wasn't able to make such device in very strict cost limitations.

This mod Downgrade VFX-1 in pretty much everything:
- Minus head-tracking
- Monochrome Black-Red LED mechanical screens instead of color LCD
- Downgrade in resolution and FOV, if this matters

But, it's mobile, head-mounted Virtual Boy!
Fun project nevertheless!

I can't believe he destroyed a VFX-1 to put a VIRTUAL BOY in it!!!! What a waste. I would have loved to have that VFX-1 shell.

Thats great. I sure did love the Virtual Boy back then. But why do that?

I mean, I like chicken, and I like ice-cream. But I wouldn't want chicken ice-cream, know what I mean.

YOU might not want chicken ice cream.....

Although I have to admit both seem an odd choice!
