Homebrew [WIP] r3Ddragon - Virtual Boy emulator

[ShadowOne333]

I really hope it is still alive. :/
It's the only chance so far to have a decent VB emulator with fully functional 3D as of right now.

Oh I didn't even know that!
Thanks!

It's good to know that he is still developing this emulator.

vbjin-ovr works perfectly in an Oculus Rift, but yeah I get what you're saying.

Is this still alive?

There was a release 3 days ago and you can see the recent activity here.
I'm focusing on uni right now, so that's taking up most of my free time.

Thank you so much for still continuing this project!
I can't wait to relive my beloved Mario Clash and Wario Land in glorious 3D without the bulky headset.

Oh god yes...actual 3D for virtual boy. Wario Land will be actually playable.

Am I the only one who get a freeze as soon as I select a rom? Not even L+R+Down+B works.
I did try with the same game that I see working in the YouTube video (fishbone).

Which FW version are you on?

 

[Drak0rex]

There a cia build? How good is emulation?

 

[SLiV3R]

Is this faster than retroarch VB?

You can find a an older CIA build on the releases page. Emulation is ok for hombrew, but most commercial games won't work.

Is this faster than retroarch VB?

It's faster, but less accurate.

Which FW version are you on?

9.0.0-20E rxTools EmuNAND (didn't update it yet, for example blargSnes doesn't want to run on higher versions and 10.3 and beyond doesn't seem so tested for N3DS yet anyway).
Using HBLauncher Loader with hax 2.5 payload and running the latest .3dsx build of r3Ddragon (0.85.1) and the Fishbone game from this thread: http://www.planetvb.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=21240 (it's a homebrew rom so should be fine to link). I put all the files on my SD via SD card reader so they shouldn't have gotten corrupt from FTP transfer.

Go to sdmc:/3ds/r3Ddragon/rd_config.ini and make sure maxcycles is not 0 (something like 512 should be fine) and set debug to 1. Does it output anything?
Can you try on any other entrypoints?

 

[Tex_McBladeSword]

Plus, it has a nice homebrew scene with gems such as Hyper Fighting, Snatcher, and many more.

They ported Snatcher to the Virtual Boy? Like, the whole game?

It's not the whole game, but it's still pretty amazing. If you're interested, you can read more about it here and all the work that went into it here.

Ok, it was already at 512 and debug=1 didn't help (it crashes so fast nothing is output).

I did get it to work under a different entrypoint. I used the old the Themehax payload (with just white, blue and red screen) booting to ctrbootmanager, the running homebrew loader 3dsx from there, so technically under SysNAND (mine is also 9.0.0-20E here).

Oh, wow. That's... really touching actually. I don't have a n3DS, but I might have to look into other means of playing this
