Where can I get the game file?

A game file is the digital copy of a cartridge or disc. Many people keep the games they already own in this format, and there are new fan-made games distributed for free by their own creators.

This page only opens Virtual Boy games, in .vb .vboy .zip .7z files. A .zip or .7z works too, as long as it holds a Virtual Boy game: games from other consoles don't open here.

The site doesn't provide games. Only use copies you have the right to use. Learn more

Buttons follow the layout of the original controller. Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, 8BitDo and similar controllers work with no setup. Up to 4 controllers, one per player, in the order they're connected; the keyboard is always player 1. To change a button, open the emulator menu and go to Controls.

How to save the game

Game save: Few games save on their own. To keep the exact spot, use a save state.
Save state: saves the exact spot, at any moment, in 4 slots next to the game. On the keyboard, F2 saves and F4 loads.
Where it's kept: in this browser, on this device, even after you turn it off. To continue, open the same game again. A private window keeps nothing, and clearing the browser's data erases your saves.
