The latest WIP version 0.9.0 of the multi system emulator Mednafen has just been released on the official forum. It introduces support for the Virtual Boy. From the games I tested with earlier betas, everything ran perfectly, even those writing directly to the framebuffers, like Red Alarm, which were previously unplayable in any other VB emulator for Windows. Future versions will also feature a debugger, something developers should be really looking forward to.

Release from ArugulaZ
...this is officially the final, final release candidate for GORF. Fish gotta fly, birds gotta swim, and I’ve got to move on to new projects.
There’s only one major change to this release...faster quark shots for the player. I was worried about how this change would affect the gameplay, but judging from my playtesting it seems to be an improvement. The game feels a bit peppier than past releases, although if you’ve gotten used to the timing in the earlier versions, you’ll have to retrain yourself.
So that’s it. The last dance, the final countdown, the whipped cream and cherry on the sundae. I may include box artwork and an instruction booklet at a later date, but unless there’s a cataclysmic bug somewhere in the code that I missed, there will be no more work done on GORF.

[Steve] wanted to do some ARM development and set his sights on the Game Boy Advance as a development package. In order to get his code onto the device he build an Arduino-based communications cable. It is necessary to have a microcontroller involved because the GBA uses a peculiar 16-bit serial communications protocol. This cable is an adaptation from the 8051-based cable developed by [Matt Evans] several years ago. [Steve's] got it working by porting the 8051 assembler over for the Arduino, but we’d recommend adding a level converter to his hardware setup to step down from the Arduino’s 5v logic to the 3.3v logic the GBA expects.
He didn’t make up a wiring diagram, but in the code comments [Steve's] laid out the connections as follows:
Arduino 8 to GBA SO
Arduino 9 to GBA SI
Arduino 10 to GBA SD
Arduino 11 to GBA SCThat’s it, follow the README in his source code package and you’re on your way to some ARM development.

More news from Planet Virtual Boy:
Today we have a bunch of new Virtual Boy videos for you. In cooperation with Grooveraider, we are happy to present you with a total of 4 tradeshow videos from WCES 1995 and E3 1996, showing some fantastic, never before seen stuff.
Nintendo Laser Montage (E3 1996)
Just before a live demonstration of the long awaited Nintendo 64 console on E3 1996. Actor/voiceover Charles Martinet kept the trade show attendees amused while portraying Mario's nemesis Wario on an enormous C-shaped projection screen complete with a laser montage of Nintendo's game line-up. You had to have been there to really experience Nintendo's MASSIVE show booth.
E3 1996 VB Booth
The Virtual Boy booth at E3 1996 with a lot of VB display with playable versions of Bound High and Dragon Hopper. This contains some seconds of Dragon Hopper footage!
WCES 1995 VB Booth
Camera footage showing the Virtual Boy booth at WCES 1995. The video consists of three parts:
1. Surrounding of the VB booth
2. People waiting in front of the VB booth in order to be let into a darkened room where numerous VB Demos were shown on video
3. Coming out of the Demo room into another area with many VB displays
Virtual Boy Technical Demos (WCES 1995)
The fourth and last video shows 3:45 minutes of camera footage of the Virtual Boy demos shown on video on WCES 1995! You'll see not only prototypes of Teleroboxer, Galactic Pinball, Red Alarm and Vertical Force, but also the F1 and Dolphin demos as well as the first ever moving images of the Mario and Starfox demos!
Bonus: Mario Demo (WCES 1995)
The complete Mario demo, taken from the above video of VB demos at WCES 1995.
Furthermore, Grooveraider sent us new and better scans of almost all press releases from WCES 1995 and E3 1995, a WCES 1995 VB brochure, as well as this picture of him with Gunpei Yokoi and his autographed copy of the E3 1995 programme. Yokoi signing it can be seen in this video we added earlier. Jealous? I certainly am.
A huge thank you goes out to Grooveraider for everything!
Read on for quotes.

News via http://www.vr32.de/modules/news/article.php?storyid=289
The latest issue of japanese gaming magazine "Game Labo" contains a rumour about a "Virtual Boy 2", which is under development not as a standalone system, but rather as a peripheral to the Wii. It's said to be released around the end of this year.
So, not really a "Virtual Boy 2" as they call it, but stereoscopic goggles for the Wii? Game Labo are known for their fishy rumours, but if there's any truth in this, we might learn more on Game Developer's Conference 2010, held in San Francisco from March 9th to 13th.

I have finally replaced all those Virtual Boy promo videos with near perfect rips, which are totally unresized from their Laser Disc/VHS sources now, at 700x468 pixels, and only "lightly" encoded in Xvid to preserve their original image quality. If you want the full image quality, download them instead of watching them online. Links below.

Nintendo had a very happy holiday in the United States, shattering sales records by selling more than 7 million hardware units in December 2009 between the Wii and Nintendo DS. But Nintendo has a few more records to brag about.
The company announced that lifetime U.S. sales for the Wii have surpassed 27.2 million units. According to Nintendo, "No other home console has ever sold so many so quickly."
On the Nintendo DS front, Nintendo claims sales of more than 38.8 million, surpassing lifetime sales of the Game Boy Advance "franchise"—meaning GBA, GBA SP and Game Boy Advance micro combined. The Nintendo DS has managed to do so in a little over five years, toppling the eight and a half year old Game Boy Advance with sales of 3.31 million during the month of December.
Dual screens. Who knew it would work so well?

The second of my reviews is regarding the Gameboy Advance SP 2GB i brought a few weeks ago.
This was a console i spotted on IShopVideoGame and was eager to try it.
The GBA SP is fitted with a 2GB Flash Drive which you cant see unless you open the console.
Upon booting the console i was a tad astonished to find a mass of games already loaded onto the console, infact a total of 118 games, of which all played and saved perfectly.
The Console has a USB Lead with it and when connecting to a PC/laptop it shows up as a removeable drive and its not hard to work out how to add additional games to the console, so adding homebrew and emulators for the GBA is really easy.
Now the price is a rather decent $54.95 and like my other review shipping from ishopvideogame was very resonable.
I must point out that the GBASP plays games like any normal GBA but obviously the benefit of a 2gb hard drive makes the console a great selling point, you could stick hundreds of GBA Homebrew and Emulators for GBA on the hard drive too.
all in all a great buy and i highly recommend this to any GBA fans.
Thanks again to IShopVideoGame for a great console and quick shipping.

News/release from byuu:
Don't worry, the rapid updates should slow as these codebases mature a bit. This version works around an issue where some games (Akumajou Dracula, Zelda DX v1.1 and below) were unintentionally invoking the SGB packet transfer mode while intending to only poll controllers. This was generating empty PAL01 packets that would turn most or all of the onscreen video output black. With this fix, all known SGB issues should be resolved. The only bugs remaining should be those due to using a CGB core for a DMG device.
