Took apart and fixed a VirtualBoy today! Pretty fun little thing - you can see in the pics the way the reflective bit wiggles rapidly to give the image.
Standard eye piece not working issue - requires soldering the ribbon cable itself back in. Which fixed it! :D

Those who have a #VirtualBoy will rejoice hearing that HoskBrew is going to be carrying new controller PCBs and power TAP PCBs in addition to the injection molding of such.
I know because I built the designs. :3
Just got them send off to the Fab for an initial prototype run!

It’s just a voltage divider circuit and a transistor behind a diode. Thats the entire low-power circuit in the VirtualBoy controller.
Built these at work today.
(One chip left off to program before final soldering)
Here’s a video of it starting up.
Check it out…. It’s Skyrim, in Morrowind.
Does anyone out there understand their audio circuits?
