There are 3 open source VB emus for PC and not one has gotten ported to PSP and its not like VB is a heavy machine , im sure psp has enough juice to handle it.

Virtual-E - http://www.emuunlim.com/VirtualE/download.htm
Reality Boy - http://goliathindustries.com/vb/VBDown.html
Red Dragon - http://www.vr32.de/modules/tech/index.php?sec=emus&eid=rdragon

32-bit RISC Processor @ 20 MHz (18 MIPS)

That would need to be highly optimized...

But i think its possible. The thing is i would never say no to a new emu for PSP!!!

But why? Isn't a virtual boy emu pretty much the same as a gba emu?

Yeah I know , Red dragon has some modifications which Reality boy doesnt have. And if a system sucks is in the eye of the beholder.

I never had the console, so an emu could be cool. :)

I am saure it would be possible to a certain extent. If one was made it would be a waste of time because the virtual boy was one of nintendos few faillures.

What makes it hard to emulate is the CPU speed, and having to emulate 2 screens. This console is coming to extinction, who has one? I think it would be great to give life to the VB again on the PSP.

There's a VB for sale in my local gamestation for £130. The console sucked and correct me if I'm wrong triggered many an epileptic attack.

Virtual-E isn't open source and realityboy and reddragon are the same emulator (basically).

RealityBoy is portable, but would require work, as it uses allegro to mimic some of the inner functions of the emulator.

I own a virtual boy, and I would enjoy a vb emu on the PSP. Hopefully someone will look into this.

BTW I like the virtual boy. So what if it gives you head aches and screws with your vision. Thats half the fun :D
