Well, not exactly the full US library, because he got his Jack Bros. copy in Japanese. But all he wanted to care of is how the gameplay is like. This is most likely because of the expensive pricing of the US version, whereas the JP version costs less money.

It’s still essentially the same game, just different text lol.

His video on the Virtual Boy is actually how I found AVGN and became a fan after that

This is awesome!! Nice work guys!!

Thanks man!

I now have Jack Bros.! Can’t believe it! It still has part of the Blockbuster sticker on it lol. Still looking for 3D Tetris and a US copy of Vertical Force.

PM’D 🙂

Thanks man! Took your advice and just snagged myself a copy!

Judging by your name, I’m guessing you’re into NES collecting too. That’s awesome! I got into NES collecting a few years ago and that is the main system I collect for.

Hi! Welcome back. That’s a great collection you’ve got there!

Are you willing to sell your extra vertical force?

Might want to check the contacts on the back of the controller for corrosion, one of my VB’s had that issue.

Alright, I think I may try that, thanks.

I would agree with the cost point, as the box seems cheesier than most gameboy boxes, it’s even smaller than the standard size, possibly to use less cardboard?

I agree with the printing cart point, but on the cardboard part, most Japanese Game Boy games come in boxes of that shape I believe. I was doing some internet searching on them, and also my local game store has a Japanese Game Boy game in a smaller box.

Something like this?

This is what my flashboy shell looks like.

I believe it is possible to an extent. My flashboy looks 3D-printed. I’ll post pictures later.

Hello. Just tested the game. However I can only play out of the left eye because my VB’s right eye needs soldered, so I don’t know if these glitches are present in both eyes. The only glitches I have experienced are graphical, such as the text on the “warning” screen about instruction manuals repeating and some of the text showing up on the VB focus adjuster screen. Also the scrolling text at the beginning of the game had some random graphic glitches scrolling with it, and the title screen looked somewhat glitchy near the bottom. Other than that, I didn’t see any glitches that weren’t the fault of my VB.

Yeah I meant 20th. Sorry.

Thanks for all the replies guys! I’m going to pick up a copy from modeltfordman.

I first heard about the Virtual Boy on Wikipedia in 2012. I was looking up what all of the wario land games were (because I had all the others) and I saw “Virtual Boy Wario Land”. I clicked on it and saw what it was. From that page I went to the Virtual Boy’s page. I thought and still think it is so cool! My dad and I were shopping in Sandusky and went to a video game store called POP!. I was looking through the shelves at video games and I looked up and saw the Virtual Boy! I wasn’t allowed to get it that day.. We went back to POP! a few times that month. On the last time I begged my dad to let me get the Virtual Boy and to my surprise he let me! I bought it for $100 on 11/5/2012 (I still have the receipt). I later got Virtual Boy Wario Land, Teleroboxer, Nester’s Funky Bowling, Mario Clash, and an AC adapter off eBay for only $40!
When I tried the Virtual Boy for the first time I found out the left eye had a glitchy display. It made me sad. But it works fine now though! I started collecting the games. About a year later I was in Columbus going to some video game stores and one store had a Virtual Boy in box(The box wasn’t in very good shape but it was decent) with Galactic Pinball, virtual Boy Wario Land, and Mario’s Tennis all with their manuals for $120! My dad let me get the new Virtual Boy because he knew how much I loved it(also because my other VB had a cracked stand. I played it in the car one day and stretched the stand too far)! I play my Virtual Boy all the time and have 13/14 of the games. I’m just missing 3D Tetris. I just got Waterworld for my birthday 2 months ago. I even have a Flashboy+! To this day the Virtual Boy is my favorite console and I’m only 14!

Where do I find the .vb file after I compile?

i have the latest version of VBDE already. How do I compile?
