virtual boy emulator

Post by lnrrgb »

The Mednafen emulator recently popped out a beta release which includes support for the Virtual Boy system. Though I have not found time to test, reports I've seen surrounding the VB aspect are positive. Here is a thread LINK. Command line junkies might enjoy!

Very cool. I loved the Virtual Boy so much, wish I still had it.

But do you know how to get the emulator to work? I can't figure it out.

Well, like I mentioned, this is a command line run exe. There is no GUI yet. Obtaining the ROM's is another issue entirely. I spotted this at the Planet Virtual Boy forum, so you might tag along there for some help. I may allocate some time for this sometime soon, but do not hold your breath. Otherwise, the sourceforge docs are all I can suggest. GL

Try this one - it seems to have a GUI (yet to test, but thats the gist I got)

Ok, now that one works! Finally, I am able to play Red Alarm once again (and yes I own the cartridge)! Games not nearly as cool as I remember but still fun for nostalgia's sake.

No. They are not actually 3D in the DirectX sense, they have native stereo built-in usually anaglyph.
