File name Teardown-3540.pdf Nintendo Virtual Boy Teardown Nintendo Virtual Boy Teardown Step 1 - The Virtual Boy was only available in North America for seven months -- from August 14, 1995 until March 2, 1996 -- with only 770,000 units sold. Compare that with the Nintendo 64, which sold 32.93 million units over its lifespan. Tech Specs: 20 MHz, 32-bit RISC Processor 128 KB dual-port VRAM 384 x 224 pixel resolution 2-bit monochrome display (black and three shades of red) 16-bit stereo sound Step 2 The Virtual Boy probably doesn't deserve to be ranked as one of the ugliest pieces of machinery of all time, but it does bear a striking resemblance to certain sci-fi characters. The Neoprene eyepiece completely encompassed the player's field of vision. This not only isolated the player from the rest of the world, but prevented anyone else from seeing what the player was doing. If only the Virtual Boy could play "other" content... Games such as Mario's Tennis support the use of the Extension port on the underside of the Virtual Boy. Regrettably, Nintendo never got around to releasing an appropriate cable. |
