Virtual Boy on Steam Deck! Steam Deck Emulation Tutorial

I remember playing virtual boy years ago at a target and was not impressed by it. Even though I couldn’t articulate it as a kid I knew if I were to sit down and play a game it was so much easier with a game boy than sitting there in a fixed position for hours.

Another way they could revitalize virtual boy is if someone made an emulator that worked on a Vr headset like meta quest and vive so you can play games 3d.

I give Nintendo props for taking a risk but this was a poorly designed product
Many people reported headaches using original hardware and the virtual boys actually had a “automatic pause” around 15 minutes to help gamers handle headaches. A console should NEVER get it in the way of a gamers gaming session making them physically uncomfortable.

At least this one won’t send you blind!

Only recently installed emudeck to my SD and funnily enough the main reason was for VB. I had one back in the day. Anyway, I have it working fine, but I mainly wanted to use my Xreal Air glasses for the 3d. It's working to a fashion, it's in 3d but It's off to the left a little. And maybe a bit small to what it could be, playable but not perfect, something I'm certain it could be with a little tinkering, either with certain menu settings or a .ini tweak.

Whoa! Now they have the Virtual Boy?! Awesome VGE. I love the VB, and I was on launch day for it at Kay*Bee toy Store for one. I miss that store. 8^)

Anthony..

Would you consider a tutorial on the Sega Model 2 and 3 for Steam deck?

I have a soft spot for the Virtual Boy! I was there on day one for the console (yes, I paid $180 for it!). Still have it, and it still works! I also have the official AC adapter for it. I used to play mine for hours without issue…well except for the fact that after playing it for a long time, everything looks green for a bit when you take your head out of it! 😅

I know this would probably bankrupt Valve if they ever released this, but a 3D-capable Steam Deck (a Steam 3Deck if you will) would be incredible. Historically speaking portable devices are the most successful form-factor for 3D (both the 3DS and VR headsets come to mind), and Asus’s 3D OLED technology could be a straight upgrade over the best the Deck can offer right now.
Then again, the 3D effect would need to render twice the resolution for the effect to work, so draining twice the battery power for a niche effect would probably be a no go once again for most people. Unless Valve could be cheeky and keep 800p the upper limit with the 3D running at 400p, which might be a compromise too far for 3D fanatics lol.

I wonder can you emulate taito x games on steam deck.

Man I can't wait to buy this next year
