I made it earlier this year, thought I would share. Now my VB can safely travel with me!

Haven’t seen a Virtual Boy in nearly 20yrs. It was an… interesting idea. Only game I remember is a warrio game.
One of the best games in the (small) library!
The system still has a pretty loyal and active fan community around it. There’s been some impressive new homebrew and hardware accessories that have been released in recent years.
That’s awesome! My friend had one growing up and I briefly played it for just a few minutes. The only thing I remember is red lol. Would love to try one again.
They’re unfortunately getting to be pretty pricey things to track down nowadays. Emulation is a thing, but this is one of those quirky systems where it’s almost impossible to really replicate the original experience. I’ve heard there’s a really good emulation solution for the Oculus Go though, if you have access to one of those!
(And “red” is a big part of the experience lol)
Man I wish I had the foresight. I distinctly remember the game store at my local mall had a bunch of virtual boys in a bargain bin.
Is that 3 different HyperFlash carts!? Why!?
Good eye lol! Yes it is, and 1 HyperBoy cart!
I was helping the guy that designed and produced them at RetroOnyx, I did a lot of beta-testing. I also did quite a bit of digital artwork to contribute to the community and he told me to just keep the carts. I bought one of them, the rest came from him for testing/development.
It’s nice to be able to flash several of my favorite unreleased commercial games and homebrew onto different carts and be able to just swap them out instead of constantly reflashing 🤷🏻.
This is just me, but I wouldn’t use it if I had one. Be more of a display like you would with a power glove. Cool though.
They’re a lot of fun!
I’m sure it’s not for everyone though, they do make great display pieces too!
Wow, great work! I’d love a travel case like this for my various devices
very nice! should keep it safe for years to come.
Can I have it when you die?
I mean… I guess so. But if you need a case for your Virtual Boy, no need to wait for me to die - there are tons of cases readily available at sites like Amazon that you can get to make your own!
Oh I meant the virtual boy, the case would be nice. The only way I could justify having one would be inheritance.
