Retrode Virtual Boy adapter build #3
Posted 1 year ago
Behold, It is finished!
Since the last update, I finished securing the bits inside the case, and made a nice label for the front. I have tested it with the following games, a couple of them don’t show the proper names, but that is due to them being in Katakana characters, they all work fine apart from one, Red Alarm.
- Virtual Boy Wario Land - USA
- Galactic Pinball - USA
- Mario Clash - USA
- Teleroboxer - USA
- Mario’s Tennis - USA
- T&E Virtual Golf - JPN
- Panic Bomber - JPN
- V Tetris - JPN
- Red Alarm - JPN
I am not sure why, but it registers as a 512KByte file when it should be a 1024KByte file. The other 1024KByte game I have works fine, so am not sure why this one isn’t behaving.
I will try and post a video of the adapter working soon.
This is the final pin-out I used if you fancy making one yourself!
