One of the Virtual Boy’s most rare titles, the infamous Virtual Lab, has recently been inofficially ported to Mega Drive by Sik, in time for the game’s 30th anniversary. The port features proper colors (of course), a few quality of life changes and additions, like an in-game tutorial and, last but not least, a two player mode. Check it out on plutiedev.
Floogle has recently released v1.2.0 of Red Viper, the amazing Virtual Boy emulator for Nintendo 3DS, which introduces local multiplayer on supported titles like Mario’s Tennis, Hyper Fighting or Virtual League Baseball 2!
- Added local multiplayer
- Accessible from the main menu
- Two nearby 3DS systems can play Virtual Boy games together
- Games can be loaded from the SD card, or downloaded from the host system
- Forwarders can only play the game they were configured with
- Save data is saved and loaded per system
- The input buffer can be manually adjusted: higher values may be more stable in noisy environments, but incur longer delays
- Because both Virtual Boy simulations are ran on both 3DS systems, games may slow down sometimes if either player is using an old 3DS. The following games are confirmed to play well on old 3DS:
- Mario’s Tennis multiplayer patch
- Hyper Fighting
- Improved loading savestates from old versions
Get it here.
Floogle has also submitted support for the bsp format, which the Mario’s Tennis multiplayer patch is using, to our ROM patcher. Thanks!
We are still two days away from the release date set for the Virtual League Baseball 2 ROM we have aquired. However, the team thought it would be a cool surprise to release a bit early to give everybody the chance to try out the game over the weekend. So here we go!
If you have missed the story so far, check out this post. Up to this point, through donations, we have made back about 16% of the money we spent on aquiring the ROM – thank you so much for everybody’s support! If you enjoy the game and have a few extra bucks on your hands, please consider donating, we’ll keep them open for a little longer.
In addition to the ROM itself, with the help of thunderstruck, we prepared both save files and patches to change the game’s “custom” team into a maxed-out unbeatable All-Star ensemble, featuring the names of our little team as well as other Virtual Boy scene legends. The Virtual League Baseball 2 game page will shortly be updated with download links for those.
Without further ado, here’s the ROM. Enjoy!
Test Chamber is a new (2025) puzzle homebrew for VB. It’s a first-person puzzler similar to games like Portal or The Talos Principle.
