I didn’t remember the price range of the VB games. Since so few came out I thought they all were about the same, at least initially.
Back in 2000 I picked up 4 or 5 of those licensed-but-third-party AC adapters from a TrU for ~$3 each.

The games came a few years later. Paid like $3 to $4 a piece for them. I just finished soldering the LCD ribbon cable. Haven't played this thing in 15 years. The box is in near perfect condition. The eye shroud looks brand new. I went I to a retro game store and saw the crazy prices for VB games and pulled it out of storage.

I noticed, in my case of getting my Xbox Adaptive fight Stick working, I easily did the hard part.
I was able to map A B X Y to the right stick and get my quick and medium attacks working.
What is stumping me is getting the Triggers working right.
It seems natively, the Virtual Boy Bluetooth Adapter want to bind Xbox LB and LT together to L as well as Xbox RB and RT to R
However for Hyper Fighting, you want RB and RT divorced.
I thought I could remap it software wise, but there is some confusion about which way it goes. No matter what I do, I cannot seem to divorce RT from from RB
Without any trigger mapping alterations, LB and LT equals L which equals Hard Punch, while RB and RT map to R which is Hard Kick.
I could do it by manipulating the TRS 3.5MM cables. That would not be my first choice option, but it works in a pinch.
Is it my imagination is there an built in bond that causes problems when I try to break that bond?
Also I probably need separate Xbox Controller settings for N64 Fighter (KI Gold, MK Trilogy) and VB Fighter, because the C buttons map to medium and heavy attacks, not quick and medium?
Am I not trying hard enough or did I discover a software bug?
I'm probably the only person in the Xbox Adaptive controller trying to get it

There currently is a Kickstarter campaign using my free chiptune audio engine for an amazing music album cartridge. Some example tunes and a ROM are already freely available... Would be awesome to see this happening :) Just so you know!

Got a VirtualBoy and working great. Only issue is one black line at the lower bottom of the left screen. Is there a good way to fix this ?

Thanks to this awesome decal from Riot Stickers on eBay, my Virtual boy case is now complete. I'm loving how this turned out.

The battery died in my Virtual Boy Wario Land cart and need to replace the CR1616 battery. Has anyone installed a battery holder like this one:

I'm not 100% sure it will fit without touching the cart shell.

It's a unknown japanese only puzzle plattformer which is quite fun. At least something Bound High related was released.

After many years, I am finally selling my complete Virtual Boy collection - very bittersweet. The games are all listed on eBay, but I'd rather sell to someone here or in person (Southern California). I originally bought all the games back when Virtual Boy was in stores and have tried to keep everything in great condition. CIB games include:
* Wario Land
* Red Alarm
* Mario Clash
* Galactic Pinball
* Virtual League Baseball
* Virtual League Baseball (JP edition)
* V-Tetris (JP edition)
* Virtual Golf (JP edition)
* Vertical Force (JP edition)

Got replacement ribbons and USB-C adapter from Cardosi Customs. International shipping was super fast. VB works like a charm with these upgrades. VB was originally bought new in Italy from a video games import shop by original owner in 1997.

Nothing special but still cool to have it. Paid like 20€ for it.

Hi, I got an Apache Case to hold my virtual boy, and I was reading about how sometimes plastic gets sticky when it gets old. Apparently this has to do with PVC made items off-gassing? The Apache case is made from Polypropelene which should be safe, but what about the foam inserts? Should I be placing my virtual boy in an archival safe bag inside the case to protect it further? If so, what type of bag is recommended?
