I’ve been lurking around here for a few years, signed up awhile ago and just haven’t posted yet. I’m a little more active at nintendoage: http://nintendoage.com/users/?8bitmatt
Anyway, I’m a huge Virtual Boy fan, and have been since I was a kid. Currently my collection includes 2 systems, 26 carts, 10 boxes (3 are japanese). I need 3 games to complete the official US set (loose). And then I’ll need 3 boxes to complete it CIB (only 3 boxes not 6 because I plan to buy the last 3 games I need CIB).
If your curious the 3 games I need are:
* 3D Tetris
* Waterworld
* Jack Bros.
I’ll also try to tackle the two demo carts, mario tennis box and finally the japanese games. And just for fun I’d like a flash boy and bound high.
planetvb is amazing. Love all the info here and the community seems solid. I’ll try to be more active. I just might have to start posting high scores after seeing that post by Benjamin Stevens!
I bought my first VB 3 month ago. One of its screen became to glitch and I started to find a solution to repair it.
Finally, I repaired both screen succesfully (I’m in electronic) and I ordered on ebay 5 others VB who don’t work. After reparation, each VB work perfectly.
I begin to sell it in Switzerland and it works. In addition to that, some people asked me to repair it own VB 🙂
I love this hardware… I find it clever.
I think, in a near futur, I’ll start to programm a game. I programm in C and assembler.
