My seasonal Virtual Boy afternoon happened on a lazy boxing day yesterday, and yup, the image artifacting is definitely worse when the temperature is cold. But keeping the system on for a good 15 minutes or so cleared it up, at least, and I was able to torture myself on Mario Clash again. One of the hardest Nintendo games to ever go into production, I swear…
While warmth may be a temporary fix for ailing Virtual Boy display issues, it seems there’s a board that can be soldered on to the unit with a brand new display cable to boot.
Anyone brave enough to order one and try soldering it themselves?
