I'm trying to set up the mednafen emulator so I can play Virtual Boy Wario Land.

So I discovered a Wario Land game I never knew about on the Nintendo Virtual Boy called Virtual Boy Wario Land. So I got a ROM and the mednafen emulator so I can play it. But, in order to tweak the emulator settings, you need to edit a .cfg file. This page says that you can turn the 3D effect off and change the Virtual Boy's color from red to something else such as white which would simulate a Game Boy look, but I can't figure out how to do those. Can someone please tell me how to turn the 3D effect off and change the Virtual Boy's color?

Click the character on the right side of my layout to visit my Discord server and discuss and play and look at and get updates and sneak peeks of the games and other things I'm making.

Messing with mednafen without a front-end (such as Mednaffe) is a weird process. That said, when you download mednafen, it should come with a "Documentation" folder, and opening vb.html on your browser should display all the settings available for the Virtual Boy.

From what it looks like, you should set vb.3dmode to either sidebyside, vli or hli to disable the 3D effect and set vb.default_color to 0x?????? to change what color will be the brightest color it will display. The ?????? is to be replaced with a hexadecimal color.

There are also other settings like vb.anaglyph.lcolor and vb.anaglyph.rcolor to set the color of the left and right screens separately and vb.anaglyph.preset to use a preset for them, but I think these only work if you use the Anaglyph 3D mode. I've never used mednafen to play a Virtual Boy game so I have no idea.

Now, how to add these properties? Alongside mednafen.exe there should be a mednafen.cfg file that can be opened with any text editor (ex. Notepad). Each setting is displayed like this:

Code
vb.3dmode anaglyph

On the left is the name of the setting, and on the right is the value, separated by a space. Just search for the setting in the file and change its value.
