Support for virtual boy

[itslemcy]

hi, are there any plans to make this project work with the virtual boy by any chance?

i have a consolized vb and would love to use a vr controller. cheers!

[darthcloud]

Yes it is planned. I guess I should consolize mine, I got no stand anyway.

so just to try out i used the snes bin and it partially works obviously, a + b buttons are missing but everything else works great!

Ok here you go, I was waiting for my virtual tap to arrive but here a beta with VB firmware:

firmware (1).zip

BlueRetro-vb_spiffs.bin
2nd dpad on 2nd stick or C buttons if you got NSO N64

going to try this out right now, thanks!

@darthcloud tested it for 3/4 hours and it's flawless, i'm just going to put my hands forward by asking you if it's possible to trigger the color palette change with a key combo.

hi! did you manage to consolize your vb and to check out my latest suggestion @darthcloud ?

[darthcloud]

Official support here:
https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro/releases/tag/v1.3

See consolize instruction:
https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro/wiki/BlueRetro-Consolize-Build-Instructions#virtual-boy

Mode is IO27 toggle mode and IO16 swap palette, you can hook those directly to VirtualTap without level shifter as VirtualTap is 3.3v.
