"Nintendo Virtual Boy (バーチャルボーイ ,Bācharu Bōi?) (also known as the VR-32 during development) was the first portable game console capable of displaying "true 3D graphics" out of the box. Most video games are forced to use monocular cues to achieve the illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional screen, but the Virtual Boy was able to create a more accurate illusion of depth through the effect known as parallax.
In a manner similar to using a head-mounted display, the user looks into an eyepiece made of neoprene on the front of the machine, and then an eyeglass-style projector allows viewing of the monochromatic (in this case, red) image. It was released on July 21, 1995 in Japan and August 14, 1995 in North America at a price of around US$180. It met with a lukewarm reception that was unaffected by continued price drops. Nintendo discontinued it the following year. The Virtual Boy is considered Nintendo's only major game console failure in the home video game market." (Wikipedia)
What are Goodsets?
Goodsets are sets created by Cowering's GoodTools, a renamer program that has the ability to "see past" the headers attached to many console ROMs. These tools are fairly comprehensive but have not had many updates in the last year. File naming is not always accurate, but these are great "starter sets". They look to catalogue every known ROM of every game. Since each game can be packaged with goodmerge, there's is usually a very small increase in the collection size. Since No-intro uses zip, their sets tend to be larger than the 7zipped goodsets ( great example of this is the N64 set... the no-intro set is ~10gb where the goodset can fit on a dvdr ).
