I cant provide any knowledge on this topic but it is very interesting.

Someone may have pieced together your purchase out of multiple units but thats just me spitballing here.

I can see a drum cymbal stand work well with the virtual boy.

Before I had a VB I thought a head mount or headstrap would work best, but after experiencing the vb hardware in person I feel the device would either not sit comfortably because the nose needs a lot of soft support and more importantly the way you have to look into the eye pieces is very important, you need to adjust how you look into it.

BenVenn made a video about the vb and designed a new case to work with a head mount. It was just a prototype but it is something that could get improved on. It’s a big task but it seems like fun.

A head mount is kind of the best way to experience VR but the vb is it’s own unique thing, nintendo did a good choice be going with a stand, designing a good stand is the best way to go in my opinion.

Thank you so much, that it exactly what I want! <3

Here are pictures of my newly acquired Wario Land Retail Copy

I only have to game so far but here are some photos!

A week ago I bought a virtual boy.
The right lense was just black and the right one would only work ever 10 seconds for 5 seconds.
I first followed one youtube video and used a heating iron

The right lense worked flawlessly after that, the left one was still not working at all.

I them followed this video and tried soldering

I am an armature when it comes to soldering but I pulled it off and now have a fully funktioning virtual boy.
I am usually very good with tiny things that need a lot of patience. But I wanna encourage you to try it yourself. It felt really good when I realized I fixed it.

Other than that, there seem to be a few people on this board that have a lot of experience with fixing the virtual boy and the money they ask for seems very reasonable.

Don’t give up!

Hey my name is Ace, I bought a virtual boy today! It’s just the headpiece and the stand and I don’t know if it works. It’s my first virtual boy ever.
