We are hard at work on a new built-in emulator for the upcoming new version of #VUEngineStudio! Built around the accurate Shrooms-VB core, our new frontend will offer all kinds of debugging features that we hope you will love as much as we do. #VirtualBoy #homebrew #VUEngine

We have ported our entire image conversion pipeline, previously grit + heavy pre/postprocessing, to JavaScript. It is now not only on average 10x faster, but also comes with new features to optimize tilesets to a given tile count by deduplicating near-identical tiles. github.com/VUEngine/VB-...

Recently accomplished tasks: New title screen render by VirtuousRage, resembling the box art, and finishing the Japanese translations, thanks to Kazuo Entertainment and dudeway4. Now we can fully focus on finishing the #VUEngineStudio music editor to get sound on par with the rest of #FormulaV.

We are thrilled to announce that, after some massive recent engine improvements, #VUEngine now supports rendering an unlimited number of wireframe objects at an unlimited render distance. Here's a screenshot. #VirtualBoy #homebrew #wireframe

VUEngine utilizes its very own C dialect that adds classes, inheritance and polymorphism to standard C with a syntax similar to C++. While working on language support in VUEngine Studio, we now gave it a proper name: Virtual C. 🪄✨ #VirtualBoy #VUEngine #homebrew #VirtualC

We recently did a test print of the #FormulaV manual. Just a rough one on a cheap inkjet printer, but feels great to hold it in hands. It's the size of a CD booklet, which fits perfectly into the box. ✨ #VirtualBoy #homebrew #VUEngine
