    Emulator Red Viper - Virtual Boy emulator

    Beep. Over the last few weeks I've been making save patches for Virtual Boy games. So far, I've got the following games saving: Golf Jack Bros. Mario Clash Red Alarm EDIT: Space Squash EDIT: V-Tetris Vertical Force Waterworld I have a couple more in the pipeline, (EDIT: just added) just working...

    Emulator Red Viper - Virtual Boy emulator

    Just listing the games I've tried: No problems Elevated Speed Hyper Fighting Tron VUEngine Platformer Demo Minor problems VUE Snake (music goes out of sync, but that might also happen on real hardware; the game itself sometimes crashes but that also happens on real hardware, not the...

    Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

    Oh, that's really interesting. I have a guess as to why, but it's certainly not anything I did intentionally. The official build we've all been running for years was built "dirty"--compiled with uncommitted changes, as in the code had been changed but not submitted to GitHub. aliaspider had...

    How does one put Mods on their 3ds for games

    Smash Bros. on 3DS isn't really great for mods. Luma3DS's LayeredFS system which replaces individual files in games isn't really helpful because Smash bundles all its files up into one giant archive. For that reason, Smash 3DS mods tend to rely on SaltySD, which specifically checks for files on...

    Emulator Red Viper - Virtual Boy emulator

    The developer of Elevated Speed, pizzarollsroyce (great name), has actually been making some contributions to this project via GitHub to improve homebrew support. In one case (not yet merged) they even explicitly reference Elevated Speed, so I think it's very likely Elevated Speed and other...

    Emulator Red Viper - Virtual Boy emulator

    This is really true. Weirdly enough, given the tiny library of 22 official games, I think the Virtual Boy might technically have the highest proportion of good (if not always great) games of any system ever. Its commercial failure meant there was no motivation to make low-effort shovelware...

    vWii vs Wii VC?

    Exactly, yep. Every single game you want to disable deflicker on or use cheats, you'll have to repeat this process.

    vWii vs Wii VC?

    You can technically do both of these with VC injections, it just sucks a lot. To disable deflicker you need to unpack the disc image with a tool like Wiimms ISO Tool, e.g. wit x mariokartwii.wbfs mkwii then you can search the main.dol for the following code fragment: 99498000 90E98000 99498000...

    Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

    Oh, yeah, I added 720p/1080p support and had some back and forth with AboodXD about improving the scaling on the GamePad with a shader. That part never worked out, but the 1080p support works fine. I wouldn't say it qualifies as a continuation, adding 1080p was all I did or know how to do, so...

    Emulator Red Viper - Virtual Boy emulator

    It's sort of complicated. On 3DS, every game has to be programmed to understand the depth slider and adjust the projection by rendering things from different perspectives based on the slider position. In a stunning lack of foresight from Nintendo, Virtual Boy games were not programmed to handle...

    New Virtual Boy emulator "Red Viper" for 3DS released with full 3D support

    You can scan this QR code in FBI if you like: This code points to the "latest" CIA, so the code will still grab you the current build even if there's been a new release after I posted this.

    New Virtual Boy emulator "Red Viper" for 3DS released with full 3D support

    Absolutely, yeah. The fact that Blockout exists at all is why I kept the game down in "Decent", since some people might prefer to play something similar on another platform in color, but 3-D Tetris obviously has the advantage of being in 3D. If Blockout didn't exist, I would have put 3-D Tetris...

    New Virtual Boy emulator "Red Viper" for 3DS released with full 3D support

    I'd say of the 22 official games, it's something like: Must play: Virtual Boy Wario Land (multi-layer platformer, the original Mario Wonder) Worth playing: Mario Clash (original Mario Bros. spinoff) Jack Bros. (Shin Megami Tensei action game spinoff) Red Alarm (Star Fox-ish shooter, the most...

    Emulator Red Viper - Virtual Boy emulator

    Ditto AmandaRose, all three of my crashes were with 3-D Tetris as my first/only launched ROM. On the features front, it would be nice to get support for the ZL/ZR buttons on New 3DS. That would allow the 3DS to match the number of inputs on the Virtual Boy. In particular, I think they'd be...

    Emulator Red Viper - Virtual Boy emulator

    3-D Tetris seems to hang if you leave it running long enough. I've had it happen three times: played the game for about 10-15 minutes and it promptly reset itself before crashing on the title screen booted up the game and it hung upon reaching the title screen booted up the game and left it on...

    Misc GTI Club DLC cars

    Just got into this game and found out about the "lost" DLC patterns. Here's a few Gecko codes to enable them. If you're on a modded Wii, I recommend this code which patches the game so that the DLC patterns are always available. Keeping this code running at all times basically "future-proofs"...

    Tutorial Play Super Mario Galaxy using the Wii U GamePad

    Right, unfortunately not. Nintendo didn't implement gyro support in Wii VC, so that input just never gets received on the Wii side. Very happy to hear you're enjoying it though! :D

    Haku33 equivalent

    Don't do a factory reset. If you're set up with Coldboot Haxchi, that will brick the console, and if you're set up with Tiramisu/Aroma, it won't get rid of them because their chainloader is installed into preloaded software which doesn't get erased on factory reset. There's no homebrew that...
