Planet Virtual Boy Coding Competition

I can't believe I missed this competition. Are you guys going to do another one?

 

I'd love to try these entries out as well. Are there any good emulators for Virtual Boy ?

Cool. The entries looks great! :O

 

Any links for downloads of the homebrew?

 

Very cool! Now, how about a ripped music format for VB game music? :-D

 

Nevermind, I found the downloads

 

I gave all of the entries a good going over on RealityBoy (Some great bits of work in there) but found that none had any sound. Is this a fault with the emulator or just the way the homebrew stuff is?

reality boy does not feature sound emulation! so you need to play it either on hardware or on the red dragon emulator, which has rudimentary sound support, but more graphic bugs than reality boy.

actually, up to this competition, not a single homebrew featured sound apart from simple beeps, because not much was known about how it works. but obviously, a lot of people figured it out by now, since most of the entries feature sound. most notable danb's midi player, which allows direct embedding of midi files into the rom. the source code for it will be released soon, so everybody will be able to use it, which, of course, is GREAT.
