Virtual Boy Emulation Can Be Done With Google Cardboard

Written by Zack Kaplan

Nintendo Virtual Boy may not be the worst failure in gaming history, but it was definitely Nintendo’s biggest mistake. In the event you were eager to play its small library of games but didn’t wish to put money into an online Boy, now you can make use of an emulator with Google Cardboard.

Google Cardboard is a VR headset of sorts that allows you to make use of a phone’s screen as a VR headset by sliding it to the special cardboard box. The box has lenses inside that you view the screen through. A plugin is available which makes Virtual Boy games playable by streaming them from a PC to your phone screen.

The Virtual Boy has a storied past due to as being a commercial failure and the literal headaches it gave consumers. If you want to go through it this can be what you want if you cannot get your hands on an original system. All the download links can be found on RetroCollect.
