More news from Planet Virtual Boy:
Today we have a bunch of new Virtual Boy videos for you. In cooperation with Grooveraider, we are happy to present you with a total of 4 tradeshow videos from WCES 1995 and E3 1996, showing some fantastic, never before seen stuff.
Nintendo Laser Montage (E3 1996)
Just before a live demonstration of the long awaited Nintendo 64 console on E3 1996. Actor/voiceover Charles Martinet kept the trade show attendees amused while portraying Mario's nemesis Wario on an enormous C-shaped projection screen complete with a laser montage of Nintendo's game line-up. You had to have been there to really experience Nintendo's MASSIVE show booth.
E3 1996 VB Booth
The Virtual Boy booth at E3 1996 with a lot of VB display with playable versions of Bound High and Dragon Hopper. This contains some seconds of Dragon Hopper footage!
WCES 1995 VB Booth
Camera footage showing the Virtual Boy booth at WCES 1995. The video consists of three parts:
1. Surrounding of the VB booth
2. People waiting in front of the VB booth in order to be let into a darkened room where numerous VB Demos were shown on video
3. Coming out of the Demo room into another area with many VB displays
Virtual Boy Technical Demos (WCES 1995)
The fourth and last video shows 3:45 minutes of camera footage of the Virtual Boy demos shown on video on WCES 1995! You'll see not only prototypes of Teleroboxer, Galactic Pinball, Red Alarm and Vertical Force, but also the F1 and Dolphin demos as well as the first ever moving images of the Mario and Starfox demos!
Bonus: Mario Demo (WCES 1995)
The complete Mario demo, taken from the above video of VB demos at WCES 1995.
Furthermore, Grooveraider sent us new and better scans of almost all press releases from WCES 1995 and E3 1995, a WCES 1995 VB brochure, as well as this picture of him with Gunpei Yokoi and his autographed copy of the E3 1995 programme. Yokoi signing it can be seen in this video we added earlier. Jealous? I certainly am.
A huge thank you goes out to Grooveraider for everything!
Read on for quotes.

via Computer and Video Games
Red Steel 2's creative director has explained his decision not to include blood and dismemberment in the game, calling the choice a "controversial" one.
"For me it's not interesting. I don't care," Ubisoft Paris's hugely enthusiastic - and foul-mouthed - Jason Vandenberghe told CVG in our Red Steel 2 interview.
"It was quite controversial, all through Ubisoft people had strong opinions. The team like mature games so they were like 'why not? Why can't we do this?' My opinion was that I wanted to tell a story about a goodie. I wanted to play a game where I'm doing good, I'm cleaning up the world one bad guy at a time. That's my fantasy, that's my hero fantasy.
"When I picked up a sword it was never about I'm going to murder people by chopping them into pieces - that's just not my fantasy," he said. "I've played that game - I've shot the heads off civilians in Grand Theft Auto so again I'm not judging. But I wanted this to feel like those guys deserve it and I'm doing a good thing."
Vandenberghe also admitted that the choice not to include gore was a "convenient" one, as it helped Red Steel 2 achieve a lower age rating.
"I'm not going to say it's a bad marketing decision. It's a good marketing decision," he said. "You wouldn't believe me anyway if I said that wasn't part of the f***ing decision.
"I sat back, I looked at it and thought f*** it, I want to spend my engine technology on animation and a cool looking character rather than a whole system for decapitation because we have enough problems as it is and it fits my hero fantasy."

Master Sonic offers his own adaptation of fighting game Smash Bros. for the DS, "Smash Bros. Ultimate. So in single player mode you can choose between 9 figures and 7 different levels and can play against 3 opponents controlled by AI but you will see for yourself that the AI is very strong and reacts almost equally with all opponents now thus wasting a lot of fun game!

Pate has posted some WIP News of his Dos Emulator for the DS:
Okay, during last week I got my PC issues solved, so that by Thursday I was back in business with coding DSx86. I had managed to get Commander Keen 4 to start, but the display was completely garbled as soon as it went into EGA mode. This weekend I concentrated my coding efforts to improving the EGA support enough to make CK4 running properly.
The first big issue was the initial two-way horizontally scrolling huge "COMMANDER KEEN" text at the very beginning of the game intro. I debugged the EGA register access the game uses, and noticed that it changes the EGA Offset register (which determines the number of bytes per screen row, with a normal value of 0x14) to 0x7C, which corresponds to 1984 pixels wide display! No wonder my fixed 320x200 display blitting code could not handle that. After I fixed the blitting code to properly handle that register, I got the scrolling text to display, but there were quite a bit of additional problems remaining. The vertically scrolling "An ID Software Production" text jumped around and left extra pixels around the screen. When starting the game, every second frame was completely garbled. The whole system hang when the StarWars-style scrolling text should have appeared, etc.
It took me pretty much the whole weekend to get most of these problems fixed. CK4 used a lot of various EGA tricks that I hadn't coded at all yet, for example:
Letting the EGA memory address wrap around to the start of the EGA 64K VRAM block when indexing beyond the end,
Using the EGA "Horizontal Pixel Panning" register to smooth-scroll the display horizontally by one pixel increments,
Using EGA "Write Mode #2" to to fill up to 8 neighbouring pixels with the same color using a single XCHG opcode,
Using EGA "Function Select" register to XOR the data onto the screen, again with the XCHG opcode.
All these are standard EGA/VGA features which I would have needed to add at some point in any case, so CK4 was a pretty good testbench for these somewhat advanced EGA features.
However, when I tested the version of DSx86 that runs CK4 fine, I noticed that none of the EGA games that ran on 0.04 version run any more! This is why I can not release this version yet, I'll need to check which of my changes broke some earlier working code.
It'll probably take me all of next week to make sure the new EGA code works properly, and I also need to fix more of the issues in the log files I have received (thanks again for those!). I hope to have version 0.05 available during the next weekend, unless something unexpected happens (again).

Rumors of a new DS make this kind of news a little juicier: Nintendo at the end of last month filed an addendum to a 2005 patent that describes a vibration feedback system, this time coming through the stylus.
There's a lot of "vibrating said vibrator in a vibration pattern"-type speak in the filing, spotted by Broke My Controller (you may read the full document here.) But the crux of the matter is that players would press the stylus into the DS' touch screen, attacking an enemy character, for example, and then feedback would come from the device itself, being felt through the stylus. The amount of feedback is calibrated to in-game events - strong or more successful attacks produce more, weak or unsuccessful ones produce less.
Of course this wouldn't make the first time Nintendo has looked to add vibration functionality through its handheld. There was the Rumble Pak expansion of 2005, which was poorly received and supported by about 40 or so games. It's also incompatible with the DSi.

We've seen the hacker-friendly, Bluetooth-based Wiimote used for so many purposes by now that it's hard to get excited about just any amalgamation of accelerometer-based fun. Patrick Flanagan's 'Jazari' project breaks past the yawn factor with a veritable museum's worth of robotic instruments, which are all controlled from a pair of Wiimotes and some rather intelligent software. It all seems a little too complicated to be live-controlled, but as Patrick himself explains in true music nerd detail, there's pretty much a button or a twist or a tilt behind every bit of the wild djembe, bongo and cowbell stylings that make up Jazari's "steamfunk" (his term) music.

Ant512 has released a new version of Woopsi for the DS:
Version 0.45 is now available:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/woopsi
This version includes TrueType font support via wrappers around the open-source FreeType library. Coupled with the unicode support added in the last release, this means that it is now possible to develop GUIs with characters outside of the standard ASCII set. Many thank to Lakedaemon for his work with both unicode and FreeType.
Instructions for installing the bundled FreeType library are included in the "Installation.txt" file in the source archive.
The release includes a number of API improvements. Wiring up the keyboard gadget to a textbox is now very simple. In fact, double-clicking a textbox now automatically shuffles the touchscreen display into the top display and opens a keyboard on the touchscreen. Closing it shuffles everything back to how it was.
The various click(), release(), etc, methods that needed to be overridden when creating new UI gadgets have been replaced with simpler alternatives, called onClick(), onRelease(), and so on. The shift-click system (in which the shoulder buttons work as modifier keys to enable right-click style functionality and a context-sensitive menu) has been greatly simplified.
The drawing API has similarly been simplified, and all drawing - whether done to a bitmap or a gadget - can now take advantage of the clipping system.
There are more improvements, bugfixes, tests and examples, which are detailed in the changelog below.
Fixes:
- Fixed error when subclassing MultiLineTextBox.
- Fixed keyboard secondary repeat timer - now uses correct time.
- Delete key deletes character in front of cursor in MultiLineTextBox, not character at end of text.
- Moved raiseScrollEvent() out of ScrollingPanel and into GadgetEventHandlerList.
- Removed parameters from GadgetEventHandlerList::raiseActionEvent().
- Renamed Gadget::setDragging() to Gadget::startDragging().
- Decorations cannot receive focus.
- Increased accuracy of slider calculations from 8-bit fractions to 16-bit fractions.
- Requester resize implemented.
- Alert resize implemented.
- FileRequester resize implemented.
- Made various Gadget method non-virtual to prevent overriding.
- Gadget::resize() limits to parent dimensions correctly.
- Window drags correctly if it belongs to a gadget other than the screen.
- MultiLineTextBox resizing works correctly.
- Moved skins and bitmaploader examples and the bonus folder to a new
"extras" top-level repository. They will no longer be included in the main distro.
- Moved documentation folder into new extras directory.
- Fixed FileListBox resizing and initial child gadget dimensions.
- Removed Gadget::clear().
- Removed Gadget::clear(clipRect).
- Removed Gadget::newInternalGraphicsPort(isForeground).
- GraphicsPort no longer tries to delete null pointer if clipRect is not initialised.

- Tidied up Gadget::shelve() and Gadget::shelveChild().
- Refactored various methods in Gadget class to use guards instead of nested if statements.
- Gadget::closeChild() and Gadget::shelveChild() no longer cause focus to jump around if the child does not have focus.
- Gadget::click(), Gadget::shiftClick() and Gadget::doubleClick() only respond to clicks that occur within portions of themselves that are not obscured by gadgets higher in the hierarchy than their children (prevents
context menus bleeding through from a lower screen/window to a higher screen/window).
- Refactored Woopsi::handleKeys() into handleKeys() and handleKey().
- Removed _padding variable from Label, Requester, FileRequester, Alert and MultiLineTextBox classes; switched to using border sizes instead.
- Tidied up CycleButton, BitmapButton, AnimButton, Button and TextBox drawing methods.

- GraphicsPort does not query Gadget for its enabled/disabled state.
- Removed GraphicsPort::drawBevelledRect() method that relied on gadget state.
- Removed Gadget::OutlineType enum and related usage.
- Removed drawing from Woopsi::eraseRect() - new background screens make it unnecessary.

New Features:
- Added goToParent() and goToRoot() to FilePath class.

The sound sources in the KORG DS-10 Plus come from KORG - one of the world's top musical instrument producers - and no effort was spared in creating these ultra-high-quality sounds. The Nintendo DSi/DS Touch Screen controls are used to the fullest to provide unsurpassed feel and operability. This innovative musical tool is perfect for aspiring musicians and professionals alike. In addition to the four analog synth simulators and drum module, a 12-track/16-step sequencer enables precise control and provides a wide range of musical possibilities (only two analog synthesizers and six tracks available when used with regular Nintendo DS). Up to eight units can be connected and played together through a wireless link for a jam session or to exchange songs. This and other features make the Nintendo DSi/DS and KORG DS-10 Plus almost limitless in their application – improved portable music creation performance at an unparalleled value.
