Prototype

This is a piece of hardware that allows you to connect a Virtual Boy to a TV via HDMI. It is built around a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W running bare metal software.

Features

  • HDMI Output
  • Brightness Level Support
  • Support for both eyes
  • Multiple output modes:
    • Anaglyph
    • Single-eye
    • 3D TV
  • Built-in UI controllable via an on-device dial
  • USB controller input support (sorry, no bluetooth)
  • USB video output and button input mode to support the Cloud VB project
  • Servo emulation support for true consolization
  • Solderless set up (although you’ll need to swap out cables going to the VB motherboard)

Unfortunately, sound output via HDMI can’t be supported.
