I’ve got three reels going now. The slot machine front is just temporary, to see if I could get it in and working. The handle is in a different picture and world. Slot reels- BGMap1, Slot machine front – BGMap0, and handle – BGMap2.

Thank you!
I have just begun programming on the slot machine. Rught now, it’s running kind of slow, but I hope to speed it up. What I have now took at least ten tries of loading it up to my Flash Boy, walking to the den, cursing, then trying over again, mainly because Mednafen is not reliable as an emulator should be. What runs fine on Mednafen doesn’t seem to run as well on a real Virtual Boy. I also added a website for the game:

Everything should be working fine now. Changed the roulette table layout so it doesn’t go that far down and that fixed the problem.

3D printed cartridge dust covers. In colors! Red, white, black, and metal.

Apparently I was the first one to try this game on a real Virtual Boy. And I found a lot of problems. I think I fixed them all except for the fact that in the roulette game if the chip is on the bottom row, it doesn’t display correctly. I tried fixing it to no avail, so I guess the thing to do is redesign the roulette table so it doesn’t go that far. I must’ve tried about 20 different things and reloading each version to my FlashBoy.

He asked the dreaded “why is it not in color?” question. I told him it was made a long time ago, in 1995. Knowing that I have old Ataris and stuff, he seemed okay with my reply. He then preceeded to play what I think was Mario’s Tennis, but then turned it off after a few minutes. I saw my missing 3DS on the coffee table, so it looks like he found that. But he’s gone now. Mom is taking him out somwhere and then she’s going to take him back home.

Here is what the reel for the slot machine will look like. Thoughts?

A note to myself for tomorrow: Work on a slot machine next.

I think a Nintendo-themed slot machine would be good. Or perhaps I should just go with the usual fruit and bar-type?

Prettied up the Blackjack table a little bit. I THINK I also fixed a bug that came up about repeating numbers.

The 3D cards will be on the title screen, of course. The Blackjack game will stay the way it is with text, since designing 52 individual 3D cards would be a pain and not to mention take up a lot of space.

I think the menu option getting is cool the way it is. As for 3D cards and roulette wheel, I will if someone can design them for me. I can’t draw very good, as evidenced by my title screen.

It’s basically Casino Fun Pak. No people to try to beat, just fun casino games.

So after about 6 hours straight coding, I think Blackjack has finally been completed. Let me know if you see any bugs or let me know what you think.

So I finally got the board to not give me an 403 error when I try to mention the word “casino”. That being said, I’m working on a casino game. Since I started work on this I couldn’t mention the word “casino,” the Roulette game is pretty much done and I am beginning work on Blackjack. I am on my second try programming Blackjack, the first time I gave up. If you see two cards with exactly the same value and suit dealt in Blackjack, let me know and take a picture of it. Right now all you can do in it is it deals two cards. Nothing else, except going back to the select screen on a select button press. I am also having a bit of problem with the title screen music. It speeds up when select is HELD, but not when start is held. If this problem persists, I’ll have to ask for help. Anyway, let me know what you think so far.

But I need the extra space for a 256KB file. It outgrew the 128KB limit.

Today he asked if there was a joystick for the Virtual Boy. He’s only coming next week on Wednesday and that’s because of Spring Break. It started early, so they apparently get 7 days off instead of 5.

Are you saying I shouldn’t let him do it?

What is itoa() and how do I use it? Only 5 topics i searched use it and none mention how to use it.

Never mind. I got it working.

I had a vacation in the Seattle area. It was 1994. We took the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria. I think we ate at a restaurant called The Brickhouse while we stayed in Seattle for the night. I used to have a shirt from there. Is it still around?
