LOL! I hope you’re kidding. I mean… seriously? There’s lots of “intermittent” problems, and being patient isn’t the solution. When your car only starts every now and then, do you just wait until tomorrow, when the temperature/moisture will be different, which may fix whatever problem exists? And if not, maybe the next day? What happens when it finally does start, then you get to where you’re going and it doesn’t start again?
Or… when the TV only works when you smack the side of it… is the solution to just smack the side of it, or get a mechanical hand with remote control to smack it (so you can do it from the couch 😛 )?
These displays don’t “fix” themselves (and they’re definitely not “sick” or self-healing)… they intermittently work, which means they also intermittently don’t work. If you’re fine with having a VB that works only when it feels like it, and will progressively get worse, then feel free to be “patient”. For everyone else, I recommend actually repairing the displays.

I would want to repair the displays, but i cant seem to find screwdrivers for it. Also as i said, i got lots of glitchy screns,blacked out screens and even horizontal lines and they tend to go away. I dunno maybe its cuz my Virtual Boy is brand new and unopened that it works great. I dunno what happens to other Virtual Boys. Just need to get some kickass games thats all, thinking of getting Flashboy.
I dunno about you guys,
i recently purchased this Virtual Boy in Brand new condition.
As i said, my Virtual boy got double visions, blank screens, and horizontal lines and they went away, the only way of fixing is to play it everyday(thats what i did)
Hey btw, i tried my VB again, the double vision thing is still there and the right eye was getting glicthy with horizontal lines but then after another reset, the right eye works perfectly while the left eye has this double effect. my Virtual Boy just fixes on its own.
The only game currently i have is Mario’s Tennis. I dunno where to find games other than Ebay, even though i got my Atari 2600 and Virtual Boy here in Bahrain, it dosen’t seem there are ANYONE who has ever owned a Virtual Boy here,if there are, i don’t think they would mind selling the games, but i’m planning to get Wario Land and Mario Clash, my two main must get games for Virtual Boy. and BTW guys the glitchy display goes away after awhile, my screen was getting scrambled then the next hour its clear and perfect. the place that i bought my VB from had 2 more VBs left but i tried both to see if they work cuz mine’s left display didnt work at all. It seems the place had one NON working virtual boy and it looked extremely used and one working VB but its on reverse, the left eye worked but the right eye was blank where my left was blank and the right worked. My cousin went and got the last working Virtual Boy. But how is this possible? the system’s left eye dosn’t work at ALL and suddenly it works during a game of Mario Tennis?LOL

A remake could be possible, but I think it would take a lot of work. Maybe a nice project for yourself to start (virtual boy) coding? It would definitly make a good change in the coding competition.
Me start coding? hahahaha im only 15, and i dont have any experience with programming,except once i did some action script for Flash, but it was a basic game of move the ball and press space to bounce it.
