+LS650 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 From Planet Virtual Boy: Mednafen now supporting Virtual Boy! The latest WIP version 0.9.0 of the multi system emulator Mednafen has just been released on the official forum. It introduces support for the Virtual Boy. From the games I tested with earlier betas, everything ran perfectly, even those writing directly to the framebuffers, like Red Alarm, which were previously unplayable in any other VB emulator for Windows. Future versions will also feature a debugger, something developers should be really looking forward to. http://www.planetvb.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=298 I just gave it a whirl and it does seem to work well. Mednafen is command-line based, but with my Win XP machine I can just drag & drop a ROM file on top of the executable file and it launches in a window. Hit <F1> to see keyboard commands. You can alter the keyboard input with <Alt><Shift><1>... Also take note that a ROM was recently released for the never-released game "Bound High!".

Hatta Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Awesome. Anyone know where I can get some cheap anaglyph glasses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 I went to a comic book shop and asked. They occasionally get a 3D issue of a comic and have glasses for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koopa64 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thanks to this multi-system emulator, I can now finally enjoy VB Wario Land in all it's glory. (The real VB is too damn expensive these days. Should have grabbed one when they were unwanted) Though I really need to question something. Why is it in both the documentation that comes with the software and Mednafen's SourceForge entry, there is absolutely no mention of the near perfect VB compatibility? No other Windows VB emulator can touch it! (ViBE on Macintosh was the best, until now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read through the links you'll see this is a beta release. Edited June 12, 2010 by ls650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
