Not (just) seeing red: Virtual Boy emulator adds full color support

The article discusses the development of a Virtual Boy emulator that adds full-color support to the once-monochromatic gaming system.

This allows users to experience the games as they were originally intended, with a more vibrant and immersive visual presentation. The article highlights the efforts of the emulator's developer, who has worked to overcome the technical challenges of the Virtual Boy's unique display system and create a more authentic and enjoyable gaming experience. The article also notes that the emulator is a testament to the ongoing efforts of the retro gaming community to preserve and enhance the experiences of classic gaming systems.
