Yeah shoul’ve made him out of technic legos you know the pneumatic ones with motors and let him run amok in japan then the could make a crappily translated movie about it where thier lips don’t move right.
Well the way I want to compact it is’nt so much compacting as it would be moving stuff around. I would like to move things like the mainboard over the players head (while in a protective shell of course and yes I’m referring to a head mounted unit) so the unit seems lighter, and keeping the LEDs, motor and rotating mirror in front of the eyes of course. I have a cool looking design in mind but I’ll have to wait for the new unit I bought on ebay to come in so I can see if it’ll work out the way I’m hoping it will. I’m not dissecting my only VB I bought back in 98, it’s got sentimental value. anyway if my real big setback is the plastic shell ( and it will be if I do this, I originally wanted to make the shell from sheet aluminum but since it’ll be head mounted I don’t want unessasary weight although I think a polished metal VB would look cool) I’d even like to move the cartridge slot onto the back of the controller (if I even end up using carts at all 😉 ) and use a 9-volt battery to power the unit that is mounted inside the head unit (overhead) but I’m getting way ahead of myself here because this project might not even materialize. I don’t want to create false hype. I have real stuff I have to do like everybody else so we’ll see how motivated I am when I get my new unit. One of two things will happen when I do: it’ll either sit around as a spare or become frankenstein.
hey,
Thanks for the response wish it was a little quicker though because I’ve already purchased a unit on ebay (it was a deal I could’nt resist, a whole unit with the stand and eyeshade for $16.00, otherwise I would have waited a little longer because I try to be courteous in all my dealings.) the unit is for dismantling though so when I receive it and test I’ll let you know I may need another for parts, thanks
Cool, Since it’s in need of repair I’ll offer you fifteen USD for it plus shipping subject to photos. It’s just the unit itself, correct? You can e-mail the photos to me at dilligafel@yahoo.com or post them.
Aaahh hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….ohhh..ha…ha…yeah that’s not going to happen. Nintendo wants to forget all about the VB and they would prefer if gamers did the same.
I think I am going to try something else though. I think I might compact a VB. I mean make a custom head mounted shell for a VB. I just have to get another one (or two…maybe even three in case I mess up twice) on ebay. I’ll let you guys know how it turns out if I do it. I want another headset anyway so even if I don’t do it I’m still filling a need (want actually but whatever.) I won’t go into detail yet just in case I decide not to do it but I’ve got it planned out in my head and it should be simply a matter of extending some cables in the guts remounting the mirrors, leds, motor and constructing the custom shell. Still a lot of work but better than pulling chips (witch is near impossible anyway, unless you’re a robot from the year six billion.). I need one to pull apart and then I might draw my plans.
Yeah I think I’m definitely buying this system and of course mario and zelda. I was starting to worry about nintendo with the Lamecube era but they look like they’re back on track.
So let me get this straight…
You want to make a first person perspective game on a stereoscopic
3-D gaming system through the eyes of a blind guy? uuuuhh so were you looking to take advantage of the VBs one shade of deep black and stereo sound on this one?
I was just looking at their website (nintendo) It’s so messed up now. So is the new name for revolution, Wii. I think the big N is hoping it will grow on people. It seems like one of those kind of names. makes sense because when you think about it we (gamers) do shorten console names to say them more easily (I know that goes for anything but it goes for consoles a lot lately.) for example VB, PSX, PS2, PS3, PSP, 360, DS, GBA we all know what they mean and it’s just easier to shorten the name. I mean the names of consoles get longer and longer then we speak to each other in the game store or in a forum and nickname them anyway. I think they’re just following a trend. Wii. Oh man it’s already growing on me…
