    I have a Virtual Boy I purchased several years ago with a couple of games. The system works great, but I'd like to get additional games. I know there are emulators out there, but I haven't found a good 3D one (that works with glasses). Is there a VB equivilant of an Acekard or the like? Thanks

    What is a Virtual Boy? A GameBoy knockoff?

    The article somewhat sucks, but this was definitely a creation of Nintendo.

    You can pick them up pretty inexpensively off of ebay:

    http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A3030&_nkw=virtual+boy&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=1&_sc=1

    But some of the games are extremely expensive, so if there was a way to download the games to a compatible card, it would be awesome.

    Thx to Nathan - they're available, but over $150 US.

    a virtualboy is a really shitty try of nintendo creating a portable 3d videogame. it was discontinued really fast becasue it sucked, there is not even many games for it. i believe only 15 games were made for it

    I agree it isn't the greatest system. But, that being said, it's worth trying out just to see what they could do then. Some of the games are kind of fun, but it wasn't what it was supposed to be.

    Yep. I wasn't sure if they had ROM's of any sort on there, and even if they're VB ROM's, ROM's are ROM's. I don't really know if it matters though since it is just the Virtual Boy that only had a handful of games.
