Tito’s Virtual Boy Rebuild
https://retrorgb.com/titos-virtual-boy-rebuild.html
Let’s be real—nobody buys a Virtual Boy and thinks, “Yep, this’ll last forever.” That red-lensed nightmare from ’95 is basically a time capsule of 90s engineering, held together by hope and duct tape. Enter Tito from Macho Nacho Productions, who just dropped a masterclass in Virtual Boy resurrection.
He didn’t just fix one—he rebuilt it. From ribbon cable replacements to delicate screen recalibrations, Tito’s video is a love letter to the most misunderstood console of all time. And if you’re thinking, “I’ll just do it myself”—maybe grab a snack first. This isn’t a DIY project; it’s a zen meditation with a screwdriver.
But here’s the fun part: the VB isn’t dead. Far from it. Homebrew devs are dropping eInk cartridges, single-ROM carts, and even Mr. Cart (yes, that’s a real thing). We’re talking new games for a system that was retired 25 years ago. It’s like giving a flip phone a TikTok account.
If you’ve ever stared at a VB and whispered, “I miss you,” now’s your chance to bring it back—preferably with a professional. Or at least, a really patient friend.
