    Default virtual boy prototypes

    I was wondering if any virtualboy prototypes ever popped up?
    (Super mario land,starfox tech demo or the 007 racer)
    And if its possible to dump them.

    I know in the prototype central a few members have mentioned the ability to dump vb protos. Dont ask me about the availabiltiy of such protos, ive never seen one, im sure others have if they can dump them.

    I've seen pics of Bound High and Dragon Hopper, so I know those protos are out there somewhere. And when I was big into the VB scene several years ago, I traded a few times with someone who had a Faceball 2000 proto. Seen pics too, so I'm pretty sure it's legit. They haven't been dumped though and probably never will.

    The VB scene is really strange. A lot of the people with the rare stuff refuse to dump it, which is fine but I'm surprised there hasn't been *any* VB protos dumped yet. And a full VB rom set wasn't even available until last year.

    Rom set? so you can play the roms on pc?
    I heard a full set can be hard to get,even with 22 games because of space invaders and bowling.

    I have a few Virtual Boy protos..

    The protos you mention have been dumped, but aren't publicly available. (Not the ones Mr. Obscure mentions)

    Also, The Dutch collector Niels sold all of his, so I'm not sure who else you are referring to..

    Virtual Boy = Neo Geo in terms of community dumping/etc.

    No im not talking about Niels dream, im talking about a palrocker.
    He had a prototype for sale for $1500 on the forum and marktplaats.

    do you know if the mario,007 and starfox are out there dream? there should also be a bomberman(different 1) out there.
    There was a artical this month in a U.K. magazine,because its almost V.B. birthday.

    Gee aren't you the same guy who got all up in arms when someone asked you to dump a game, and then tried to sell screenshots to the community for $500?

    Not to mention that the game didn't even exist!

    Would be cool to see the Proto's surface, but I know the collectors are nuts when it comes to keeping stuff all to themselves.
