Oh nice, for $20 i take a range 😀

Yes, a new game line Yans World would be incredible.
$25K isnt that much for it but for a small comunity like the VB one its much.. Verry sad and i think for most is a PC only Version not that important.
Eventually it would be better to advertise it more here and on other retro Boards and then make a Patreon for the VB and PC Version together with the goal to release booth same time.
If they keep this up to date, release Demos for Founder, then i think they can reach fast a monthly Payment that they can develope it a few hours a week or a day (all like the VUE Team do, they make a realy good job with News and Demos i think and its a good Feeling to be a Patreon from them with that money a can Pay for it) and in a few years they can have it finished and also have their 25k 🙂

I do it nearly the same way for my two VB’s. And yes it is short lived. It works for arround 6 month because first time i was i bit to careful with the heat. And the second time now it worked for nearly 2 years before it becomes bad again. This time i dose it same as last time but additionally i added a tesa stripe over it for isolation and a verry hard clamping metal clamp that press it down too. We will see if this will work longer or forever 🙂
I would also love to get mine soldered but i didnt whant to do it myself and as im from germany i need to finde some one in europe that can solder it.

If the VB still runs under 5V you can use lifepo4 cells as long as the VB dosent run under 4V because the Cut Off from Lifepo4 Cells are 2.01V as absolutely minimum. Best would be 2.5V (per cell) but for the cells its also ok to drain them to arround 2.2V without much lifetime loss. But under 2V the cells will damage itself rappidly. So if the Cut Off from the VB is arround 4-5V you can use 2x Lifepo4 Cells and you are safe without any other Hardware that manage it and you can also use the low battery signal from the VB.
But if the Low Battery show off you did not have much time before its off because everithing under 3V runs verry fast to under 2.5V.

The nominal Voltage is 3.2V and you can charge them up to 3.6V but after charging the Voltage rund fast back to ~3.2V and there it hold it over ~85% of its capaticity and then it will run fast its last 5-10% to under 2.5V.

I would prefer lifepo4 because they have much more lifetime then liion or lipo and they are also much safer because the cant explode.

Verry nice, i hope they will find a way to build them a bit cheaper or that a final cartridge is not more expensive then a spare original one 🙂

I reply you in chat 🙂

Yes thats a bit bad that its only a stretch goal, in i also think that $25.000 is hard to fit within a Month on Kickstarter but we will see. if it seems that they can fit this goal for a VB Port i will defenetly jump in and also found as much as i can pay to that time. But if they didnt fit that goal and there will be no VB Port im out because i didnt have huge interest to play it on PC or any other Console then VB. But i hope that they later start a new Crowdfounding Campain only for the VB Port with a goal that our Comunity can reach and then im in 🙂 or a patreon only for the Work on the Port like Team VUE do it for theyre Game Formula V.
The Game looks realy nice and fun, i think it would be a great Title for the VB.

Do you have a link to their kickstarter site?

I hope you can see it but these games i take (most of them are EU or German versions, only the games that are not localized not)
All the games run from a bit slower but good playable to nearly perfect (only sound is in most cases a bit confusing because the VB Sound is not the same as from a Gameboy)

No thats not possible. Or not possible for me, dont know if it is with a flasher. I can list wich games i have on it next days when i have a bit more time. If you have a Flashboy or preordered a Hyperflash32 then you can download the GB Emulator also here and add your own games (but most will not work or unplayable slow, for me it took ~6-8 hours to test all the games who i think i would play on VB and arround 5-6games are run nearly full speed and 8 or 10 otherd run not full speed but good playable , i tested arround 150 games..)
I will list them next few days 🙂

Yes its a Homebrew Mario Kart. But sadly there is only a Demo version with some Timetrail Tracks but its fun playing around with it 🙂
Same for VB Racing. Sadly that these two games are not in developement anymore because they are booth potentialy realy good playable and a full version would be a dream 😀

The Gameboy Emulator takes me some time to finde some good playable games but we found some that are realy nice playable 😀

Is there also some one in Germany or Europe that solder the ribbon Cables? I have two VB’s that i want to be permanent fixed 🙂
At the moment they work great as is but one of them needs all few month to be soft repaired with a hot knife or something else hot and pressed on the glued ribbon that it reglued again but a permanent fix would be better 🙂
The other one didnt have any problems but there will also come the time that it also has to be soldered but if there is someone in europe or germany (im from germany but europe is also ok) then he can do both that i had never problems again with that 😀

I would realy like to see a Alleywey or Arkanoid Clone on the Virtual Boy with nice deep 3d Backround 🙂
Yes also a Jump and Run Adventure would be realy nice but i think thats to much work, also i think the VB is a great Console for games you dont have to play several hours in a row. Like Formula V seems to be a racer that makes fun for many hours but also you can play it only for 15mins only to makw a few races and have a little fun.
The genere for me is not that important but games that you can play only short time and makes fun and also makes fun to play it 1 or 2 hours in a row. Thats what i think is best for the VB 🙂 anyway wich genere.
I think with Formula V (i only know the Demo) you show us that you can do this 🙂 because Formula V semms to be a game that makes also great fun when you play it only short time as also when you play it 1 or 2 horus in a row 🙂

Games like that would be great. If it should not be a big projekt like Formula V next time then also only a game (who i think makes not that big Work) like an uprated Alleywey could be a nice to have 🙂

When its realy never opened new then i think also $500-600 will be ok for collectors but thag price they listed it is realy much. And that its working also when its brand new you cant say as we know the eyes can also get issues when they never used as when they used 🙂 its the age that makes the flex issue. So a brand new VB is also a Luck-Box you buy a cat in a sack 😀

NOW! The Virtual Boy is REALY! PORTABLE!

Walk arround with it, Play with it, when and were ever you whant! NOW! With the ultra Portable Virtual Boy Body Mount everything is possible in the third Dimension of the Virtual Boys 32Bit Power Processor!
NOW you Play with Portable Power!

That could be the advertisement from Nintendo mid 90’s xD compared with a wired guy that walks along the Streets or his School and plays Virtualboy xD

I think i would buy that for a $ 😀

Awesome 🙂
I already have a Flashboy but i want that too, is there still a Preorder for that? 🙂

Would also buy a copy 🙂

No xD only bad english grammar haha

Hello and thanks for the welcome 🙂

And/Und hallo RetroDan, wie meinst denn das? Fragen bezüglich Problemen oder Technik oder eher in Richtung verkauf von VB Sachen?

I do the oven trick for years ago and it helped for abaout a half year. After that i test it with a breackfast knife, make it hot enough and strafe softliy over the it. After it was realy hot on this place i turned the display und pressed it with the ribbon cable on a glass table so that it becomes coöd and will be pressed on again. After that i strafed softly again with my nail between the smal cables where its glued on the display.

That takes abaout 15min of time, makes it a lot hotter then the oven trick but only on that place you need it and work for me for over a year now. And if the scanlines come again i will do it again so long it worked with that because how i said, it takes only abaout 15mins time 🙂

But how the other said, it can only work if you dosent solder it bevore.. after soldering it worng only soldering right again can help.
