I have to say the last page was the best. he playing game gear quick smash a virtual boy into his skull!
:vb:

yup it was. it was me 🙂

To heavy?

Wii U tablet gamepad 1.1 pounds (500 g).
I think its even lighter than virtual boy.

Any idea how long it lasts after baking?

baked, re-seated & taped down. Dusted out & polished.

As stated before. Unfortunately I am stuck unless I know what the contact points layout is on the ribbon cable.

The video card has an S-video out which is then converted to an RCA. The Video card itself can be told to be set to the 384 x 224 resolution and in monochrome. This is why I asked what pins are responsible for the video on the LED ribbon. I want to connect the 2 wires in the RCA cable and attempt a connection or VGA pin out to the LED depending on the setup.

I of course would have to disable the LED Ribbon pins responsible for video from the virtual boy itself so that it could be interfaced with the desired PC. The virtual boy would just be used to house the display and power source.

what format would you like just the head unit in? I can easily delete the stand if you would like.

The two models I really want to make for 3D printing are the visor plate, and possibly a tripod mount, so the Virtual Boy can be attached to a normal camera tripod.

*.OBJ version, Should work with most modern software.

MineStorm, Have you posted your makerbot cartridge model on the makerbot site? This would be a great addition for furture printing.

Sorry that was really dumb of me. I’m in the middle of changing it.

VUE(xpert I made sure to credit you considering it is your model. It imported beautifully to the MakerWare software.

For those interested in seeing it or printing it here is the link.

Has anyone considered making a kick starter project for this? Would there be legal issue if you did? I would gladly support you guys with what I can be it money or actual hardware.

No 2 player! 🙁 I was looking forward to making a 2 player cable…

I can not wait until 3D printers are common in the home. Then maybe we would just be able to print things like a small stand or plastic visor. Perhaps maybe even replacement lenses with transparent plastic.
