Haha I had so much fun with that episode. I was completely taken by surprise when I was asked if I wanted to be in an AVGN episode. James was why I fell in love with the Virtual Boy and did my own channel so it was a big deal for me lol. I don’t have the deck enhancer (most of those folks don’t) but they wanted talent to add in regardless. They were looking to even things out and add more women gamers and John Riggs recommended me. I sent in clips of me playing other consoles and games but they chose the Virtual Girl which shocked me and at the same time made me super happy.
As a result of that tiny cameo my channel blew up a bit so now hopefully the VB will get even more love and attention 😊
Dudeeee that was an absolute dream come true! When I was asked I didn’t know what to do with myself. The fact they chose the clips with the Virtual Girl made me even happier! I sent in plenty where I played the NES. I feel like a giddy little school girl now lol
I’m currently working on my next Virtual Boy YT series called Return to the 3rd Dimension. I had a friend of mine make me an intro for it. Here’s the intro for those interested: https://youtu.be/vqZUPCtuJK0
I backed the book and cannot wait for it to come out. I’m most excited for the part on the homebrew community and such. This is a console/community I hold so dear.
I’ve been writing tools to help with VB development (specifically debugging) and changed jobs. I’ll have a non-Maiden homebrew game out in the next month or two showcasing what I’ve been up to.
Sweet! Perfect timing! I wanted to start my series on VB homebrew soon. Just waiting on my intro to be finished. Can’t wait to give it a try and showcase it for people 🙂
I love his videos as well and are my favorites I’ve found covering the system and games. They’re really well done. I am very flattered that you enjoyed mine and found them more informative. That was kinda my goal with the series. A lot of folks jump into the VB games without reading up on them and then they’re often like WTF am I playing. I felt the more informative approach would help people getting into the games.

I look forward to seeing the rest. Maybe they’ll measure up to retronintendonerd’s reviews. 😀
You’re really too kind. Jeremy’s ability to have higher production quality guarantees his videos will Shit on mine lol. I’m totally ok with that though. I’m thrilled to see another person take on the library too (and much more capable than me).
I am so excited to see this finally happen! What a Merry Christmas, indeed! Thank you to everyone involved in getting this dumped. To think this all started when a friend PM’d me about Cpt. F’s original FB post about his cart.

I just wanted to reiterate what everyone else has said. This is a great little product and I recommend you get one if you can. I did a video on how to set it up and use it in a basic form. https://youtu.be/nchMOo3Gm2k
Nice video Candice. Laughed when you mentioned the Do-Do story. My son calls anything that looks like a VB Do-Do now. Or he says “Daddy made it”.
I’ll have a firmware update soon to fix the Japanese character issue when saving Japanese ROMs. A few other updates will be in there for devs as well. Code is nearly complete and I should be able to test this week.
Picture below of latest programmers I’ve built. They’ll go out in the next few weeks to people who ordered. They’re waiting for the 128Mbit carts.
Glad I was able to do a good enough video that showcased it 🙂
I had to add the Do-Do story. I found it so cute. Knowing your son calls all of them that is just too cute. <3
My husband is also writing a padder for Mac users now, since he saw me working on the video and needed to brush up on his python lol
