VBoy Color GX1.2.0

VBoy Color GX is a Wii port of VBoy Color, a Virtual Boy emulator that adds color. This page times every kind of scene in the 24 official Virtual Boy games and two unreleased ones, 859 scenes in all, with version 2.0.0 on a Wii and a vWii.

A Virtual Boy frame lasts 19.9 ms, so every frame has to be ready within that. We aim for 18 ms, to leave room for heavier moments. 21 of the 26 games stay at 18 ms or under in every scene, and 4 more stay under 19.9 ms. One scene is a hair over: the second base of Vertical Force’s stage 2, on a vWii.

The Wii U tab is the new native Wii U version, timed on a real Wii U.

Running totals

859 scenes found so far, in the 24 officially released games and 2 unreleased ones. A gameplay or menu scene only gets a verdict once it’s timed with real play, the busiest normal play in that scene. Screens nobody plays, like boot screens and cutscenes, are timed as watched.
