Would like to give my sincere thanks and gratitude for DarkAkuma's massive work with the VC Manager! This makes it manageable to play VC Games that aren't available on the NSO titles, which makes it easier to play w/o having to use Retroarch

Tho I got one quick question:
When one of the NSO apps update, are you allowed to update it and keep the custom games on the app? Or are you not allowed to update.
 
I would really appreciate any assistance I could get on this. I've tried to add some GBA pokemon roms several times and they fail to show up, I tried using MTP and copying manually. I realized that the GBA NSO file on my switch is named "010012F017576000" but the file cave generates is "0100555017574000". I'm sure the Database version is correct (3.2) so I don't understand what the reason for the disparity is. Could someone please tell me how to fix this?

Make sure you are using the correct region.

One ending 6000 is USA
One ending 4000 is ASIA/JAPAN

Yes I just realized that after digging in the thread, whats odd is that I am on USA, I've even switched to japanese and back to US and it still produces a Japanese file. Even after redownloading Cave fresh it still keeps giving me a Japanese file.

Edit: I "fixed" it, which is to say I changed the file name and changed it in the XML for cave which allowed me to MTP the Rom successfully. I'm pretty sure this isn't a proper fix so I would still like to know if I'm doing something wrong or its a bug, but at least it works for now.

does this work on fully updated v2 switch 1's? I checked the faq and didn't see anything. I'm looking to add a couple of GBC games, like MGS Ghost Babel and dragon warrior monsters 1&2.
 
Has anyone managed to get the Super Mario Bros rom hack 2 player by corpsegrider to work on the NES NSO app via CaVE database manager? Does 2 player simultaneous have to be enabled on the database?

It seems that it was not much of an issue here... but I FINALLY got DisplayEx- for VB updated for v1.1 and v1.2! And there is now a normal DisplayEx for VB v1.1+ too, for supporters.

I'm sorry about that!

Earlier this year I started the Full Unlock revamp... then the new VB app came out of nowhere and needed far more of a DisplayEx than normal, since the unmodified version is extremely lacking. These back to back larger projects took a toll on me. Combined with that... Both projects were made with a public version in mind. I normally don't do mods for non-supporters, and... The reception of both... back to back... reminded me why. That killed my drive and motivation even more.

When the Virtual Boy app updated to v1.1 so quickly, my code was not in a good state... and I was just not in the right mind to solve the issues it had. So the project has been stalled since then.

But recently I mulled over a path to solve things with my limited interest, and was able to plow through to the end!

---

Virtual Boy DisplayEx- for v1.1+ is largely the same as the old one, except... 3D Mode support is removed, and I added a feature that removes the warning screen in 2D mode.

The main features that will take more time to maintain are in the normal version for supporters. That mainly includes 3D Mode, and 2D Mode switching between Left/Right views of the emulator.

I don't plan to work on this any more right now. I shouldn't until the announced color options are added. Then id probably add Top/Bottom 3D support (swear I worked on that... but guess not...) and maybe Anaglyph.

To recap the features, new and old...
- (Minus) Version in White.
Normal version in Purple.
  • Removes restriction on Docked Mode.
  • Adds 2D Mode support.
  • Removes warning popup at start for 2D Mode.
  • Adds Fit to Screen option for 2D Mode.
  • Adds option to toggle on/off the Scarlet theme.
  • Adds 3D Mode support (SBS).
  • Adds Crosseyed view option for SBS 3D Mode.
  • Adds Stretch to Fit Screen for SBS 3D Mode.
  • Adds a toggle to switch between what Left/Right view is displayed in game with 2D Mode. (ZL/ZR)
As most here would be using the Minus version, to download that... navigate to the CaVE updates folder and delete "update_2026-03-10.json". Restart CaVE and it should force it to redownload the update, and download the mod.
