VirtualFriend - VB Emulator

Thank you for taking the time to put this together and Vision Pro it made me so happy to relive my time with the virtual boy and a really pristine experience. Thank you very much.

I enjoy it. Two things it needs is cardboard support as in 2 side by side screen for phone headsets which would be cool, and fix the buzzing sound in Hyper Fighting.

Hey I love the emulator and all but I want be able to change controls for my controller

I was expecting an emulator for Virtual Boy on this platform would take a long, long time. I’m glad I was wrong. This plays well, and as someone who owns the actual console, the 3D effect is superb. I also appreciate how easy it is to run games. The UI is light and simple. Some games, however, do run slow, and some games crash after about 10 minutes into gameplay. I trust that the developer will look into these small issues. If I could add anything, I would add button mapping, and maybe perhaps an all-black environment to mimic the feel of looking into an actual Virtual Boy. Overall, I’m genuinely impressed. Thank you for this amazing contribution to a niche fan base.

Played games using an SN30 pro controller and I have to imagine this is everything N*nt*nd* wishes its console was when it was initially released (I say this as someone who played one in the nineties and was confused). The stereoscopic effects are a great proof of concept that gaming can work on this platform in a way that’s distinct from just large iPad games

This app is a superb way to experience a way of playing video games created by an enthusiast community that might otherwise be lost to history, thanks to all who worked on the development to make it possible! Rated four stars right now because there are some features not present that would be helpful such as save states, etc and some minor bugs but I’m one of the many fans that are eager for more updates and want to see this project continue to get better over time. Hoping to add another star soon because this app does and will continue to deserve more recognition and accolades.

This app is something that I would highly recommend since this is essentially the perfect platform for really showing what the Virtual Boy was about in terms of doing “3D” graphics. If you’re looking to play some obscure viewmaster-esk pixel art games then this would be it. Though as of this review there is still a bit of a sound issue(Sound samples are slow and lower pitch, some sounds not being on-par with the original hardware), everything else is perfect.

Despite the already existing retroarch VB emulator, this one is the the second best one out there, you can change the color of the game and other things. Thanks!

This works really really well. I’ve only tried it with a keyboard. Hope it works with a controller too.

Probably one of the best way to play Virtual Boy games, and its all ad free. Also it works right out the gate with any wired/bluetooth controllers. And it works well with the backbone controller. I highly recommend overall. Thank you to the developer for your incredible work!
