/vr/ - Retro Games

You can make them skip a few times over water.

10/10, could you use them as ammunition too?

>>2564984
With a slingshot I guess. I don't think they blow up all that good.

>>2564987
Huh, I wonder if someones ever put a gameboy micro in one of these, that'd be pretty cool

>>2564960
They are great for annoying neighbours if you live in a flat and you boot up a DC with a VMU inserted that has dead batteries.

I remember buying some green ones for like 2$ a piece when the dc was going under.

The batteries were worth more at that point.

>>2564960
>4 VMUs

Well sir,

you may have four VMUs

but, conversely, I

have four PS4s

>>2564960
The coolest thing to do would be programming for them. But whatever you do, battery will run out fast.

None of the VMU games I tried caught my attention, but I had a lot of fun making mini-interactive movies for it (on my computer, sent to the DC using email). I made an Outrun-inspired "racer" with a flying saucer, which was actually closer to Road Avenger's gameplay than anything Outrun (press buttons on time to not fail).

Power Stone 1 mini-games were fun and the best ones I played. There was also a Chao Editor to make chao(as chao adventure to raise chao if you wanted to). Games like Soul Calibur had some character animation on the vmu while playing the game. Some games had maps or ammo info on the vmu. Skies of Arcadia also had some minigame to get items and other shit. I think in Virtua Tennis you could see your play on the vmu. Games like SA2 or Shenmue 2 had a sprite slideshow with the characters

There are more things, official or fanmade, just google and try them. There was an iso full of that shit and savefiles

Load on some homebrew and convince some crusty hipster that it's a prototype for the DMG micro.

We know

>>2565005

Come at me bro.

Check out homebrew stuff. There's a decent selection on Blue Swirl. I personally haven't bothered putting batteries in my VMUs for years though. They just chew through them too fast.

>>2565198
dude i want those saturns

>>2565208
the coolest thing my little brother did was make his vmu use a 9v battery instead

>>2565198
>that one Korean model
Did any of the games actually get translated, or did they just have the English/Japanese versions?

>>2565198
Why would you have that many?

>>2565384

Why would you not?

>>2565220
My little brother made it run game boy games by welding the GPU to the USB port. It goes without saying, he works for Nintendo.

>>2565548
wat

How would one mod a backlight into one?

>>2564960
I think that's pretty much it.

Someone made a Pac Man game that was pretty cool. Also a Space Invaders game.

>>2565351
I know there's at least a handful, I've seen scans and such on segaretro. Seemed to be in Hangul.

Also, I see HiSaturns and a This is cool!, but where's the V-Saturn? Disappointed in you, dude who reposted someone's picture from across the internet.

>>2565548
Quit reminding me of that thread, I lose my shit every time. BRB watching my laserdisc of macross plus on my PS1

You're lucky you've never run across him. Seek him out...if you dare:

Not retro but that'd be kinda neat. If I remember correctly it'd be pretty easy as the micro's PCB is modular (module for CPU and screen, module for AB buttons and so on). I'll try to work out something similar once I'm back from vacation this august

>>2565562
Same as gb/GBC I'd guess. Solder a Sp panel in the correct point of the pcb

>>2565395

Play with your Saturns, chew on your grouse,
Your last day is coming, you bourgeois louse!

>>2565706
I know it isn't retro but I think it'd be neat, if you manage to make one I'll pay for it.

>>2564960
iirc, it could be used like a digimon/tomigochi mini game with Sonic adventure letting you take care of those little creatures. In sonic adventure 2 they actually put it into the game, but I seem to recall SA1 it was on this damn thing.

>>2565384
>Why would you have that many?

>>2565570
dont forget to rewind that shit before you play it on your ps1.

no rewind is unkind.

>>2565565
>but where's the V-Saturn?

There are 4 of them next to the skeleton.

My collection is not that impressive, I only have about ~15 working units and 4 or so dead ones.

>>2566130
>15 working units
nigga you what

>>2566009
If I'll do something I'll surely be posting on gbatemp. Check there sometimes

>>2564996
>four controllers connected
>two VMUs in each controller

profit??
