WELCOME TO PLANET VIRTUAL BOY!
HTTP://WWW.PLANETVB.COM

Welcome to the third dimension! On this site you will learn everything about Nintendo's Virtual Reality experiment, the Virtual Boy. Released back in 1995 only in Japan and North America, the system failed all along the line and disappeared from the market less than a year later, quietly and without any official word. Only 22 games were released for the Virtual Boy during its short lifespan. Here we want to build a memorial for this unique oddity of videogame history. Dedicated to its brilliant creator, Gunpei Yokoi.

InsmEdit 1.2 adds monster editor

In: News, Posted by KR155E on 2013/5/19 16:58
InsmEdit version 1.2 has been released by HorvatM.

Quote:
This version adds a level monster editor. It also fixes bugs and improves the user interface.

Files created with version 1 will work normally with version 1.2. However, if a file saved in version 1.2 that includes starting position resources is edited and saved in version 1, starting directions in those resources may be lost.

The readme file has been updated to document new features. It also documents where in the Insmouse No Yakata ROM the data patched by InsmEdit is located.

The Example.imp file has also been updated to illustrate the new features.

Faceball: Remastered out now

In: News, Posted by KR155E on 2013/4/29 21:04
When a ROM dump of the unreleased Faceball for Virtual Boy got released earlier this year, it was a great day for Virtual Boy fans. There was a little not so perfect detail, though: The obtained prototype was only about 80% complete. Months of work later, thunderstruck has finally finished hacking the bits and bytes out of Faceball to finish things where Bulletproof Software left off. The hack, called "Faceball: Remastered", features many improvements and fixes, which let it look very much like a finished game:

- 56 unique levels (half of them designed by Benjamin Stevens) instead of the original 14 demo levels
- Hidden Faceball enemy reactivated
- Hidden Menu Image reactivated
- Hidden Music reactivated
- Improved controls with strafing
- Debug menu disabled
- New non-Japanese Faceball title screen logo
- New and fixed text in credits

Wanna check it out? Have a look at this thread!



The final version of FacEdit, the level editor developed specially for Faceball: Remastered, will also be released soon, so everybody can create their own levels.

BLOX released on cartridge

In: News, Posted by KR155E on 2013/4/25 11:57
When it was released in 2003, my puzzle game BLOX was the first ever complete Virtual Boy homebrew game. Today, 10 years later, it also becomes the first ever Virtual Boy homebrew to be released complete-in-box!

More information and order info can be found in our forum.



My complete share of each of the limited run of 50 copies will go towards bigmak to help compensate for the costs of the Faceball release, so you'll even do something for a good cause when getting yourself a copy.
