How it works

1. Build your library.

Make sure that uSD contains the following folders: _SYSTEM_, SAVE, GAMES.

_SYSTEM_

System folder used by the cartridge menu and file list.

SAVE

Save files are stored here. Files can also appear for games without save support; those files are not relevant.

GAMES

Your Virtual Boy ROM library goes here, with folder and subfolder support.

Copy your .vb files in GAMES folder (max two folder levels).

2. Menu.

3. Flashing and launch.

If it is the LOADED game, the game starts directly. Any other game will show:

Virtual Boy flashing game please wait screen
