[Tutorial] [Virtual Boy] Turn VB on without AC Adapter set
*i've set images as spoilers because images was too big, sorry.
You have a Virtual Boy, Cool! you have one of the rarest consoles of Nintendo! that's very cool! but... you don't have AC Adapter set... one like this:
Okay! No problem! you can still mod your controller to power on your Virtual Boy without soldering!
*It's recommended to solder Virtual Boy controller + and - if you don't want AC Adapter set.
*This mod is very easy!
Just you need a cheap SNES AC adapter! I brought this:
-----------------------------------
My AC info:
Input: 100-240V 50/60Hz
0.3MAX
Output: 12V - 700mA
-----------------------------------
Okay, cut it, and search + and - in your AC Adapter, like mine:
*If you don't know how to find + and - in your AC adapter, you should open it, and in motherboard should say, or use any tool to find + and -, like leds.
Next, in your controller, put the cables in the pins, Left is Negative, Right is Positive, like this:
Excelent! now try to turn on your Virtual Boy, if works, congrats! you don't need anymore AC Adapter Set! (unless if you don't want AC Adapter Set, you should solder the VB Controller pins)
Also, you should put something, like scotch tape, something like this:
Anyway, here is my cutie virtual boy working with this mod ^^/ :
And of course, my repaired console :'3
(My Pokkén controller box and other box is my new virtual boy base lmao)
And no, this can't damage you virtual boy unless you put + and - reverse, so be careful!
I hope this can be useful for anyone who have a Virtual Boy without AC adapter set ^^/
*also sorry for the shitty english i have lmao
