Some form of Virtual boy dev unit???? WTF

Just found this on yahoo auctions japan

Looks like some form of dev unit or copier?? Any ideas anyone :smt017

 

Could be some sort of demo unit, that allows you to display the games on a TV. Either way, it looks good, you dont often see Virtual Boy things other than generic retail units.

 

Wow, Nice Find Importaku. That white box even outputs a PAL signle which is odd for a Japanese machine. Just a shame that it's going for almost £250 otherwise I would have bid on that.

I would be neat if you're able to play VB games on your tv.. then you can just use the 'glasses' (for example) from Shrek3D and play the games on the big screen :smt023

 

Has noone tried translating this?

 

That's a "Video Boy", part of the VUE-Debugger series, the Virtual Boy development kit. It allows you to playtest games on a PAL TV.
I am gonna bid on it to make my Debugger a little bit more complete, maybe I can even use it one day ;P

 

For those that are interested.....

Retro -- that's actually a good translation... did a computer do that?

 

Umm, no... it was me :-D hehe just kidding

I find it a good translator, although as always it gives funny results sometimes!

 

It certainly beats Babelfish hands down.

 

Without a doubt... update your bookmarks, boys.

 

In a roundabout way, freind of a freind is the buyer.........

But it`s staying in Japan for a while :smt022
