TimTheEnchanter has been making Vircon32 games, now he has up to 8! Most of them are recreations from classic 80s arcade games: Asteroids, Galaxian, Tempest... Though he also made a first person shooter ala Wolfenstein.
Find them on his GitHub:

Another tool: RetroScale. It is designed to create pixel art from a larger drawing. Choose a palette to apply and then call the program with an integer reduction (say: 3X). It does both steps in the same process to give better results than other methods.

I recently made Pixels150, a specialized tool to upscale pixel art to 150% of its original size. Very useful, since most pixel art scalers only accept integer factors and general scalers do an especially bad job at this size.

This is very much a work in progress, but here is a preview of a Game Boy to Vircon32 converter!
Of course, no roms or assets are provided. You must supply your own. The games chosen here are shown only as a demonstration.
If you like retro, here is my video commenting the Tinyjoypad game collection on Vircon32, and my personal favourites.

Matthew Haas is making Vircon32 hardware accessories! This controller can translate inputs in an USB keyboard or mouse into V32 gamepad presses. Here is a summary with a couple of demos.
The code for v32io is here:

User qpu from MediaVida forum just let Claude create this Vircon32 emulator. It made the 3D room and everything is interactive: gamepad, cartridge, console buttons... great job! Try it online here:
Demo: qpu.one/v32/
Source code: github.com/qpu-studio/Vircon…
Matthew Haas made another Vircon32 game in C++: Space Invaders++. This is an evolution of the classic that also features items and power-ups. And, same as Tempest 32K, it uses no graphics! Everything here is rendered with text 😉
Download it here: github.com/wedge1020/v32roms…
If any of you likes retro, Jastro just released a new MUD! You can try it for free on Steam, he has put a lot of effort into it 😃
Buenas, llevo currando en un proyecto personal desde hace bastante tiempo. Por fin se podrá probar una version bastante completa, podeis pedir acceso y jugar de manera gratuita a las 19:00
Es una vuelta a los muds (los primeros mmorpg), espero os guste:

New Vircon32 game! Tempest 32K, by Matthew Haas, follows the steps of Tempest 2000. It allows 2 players and features different weapons and enemies. Also, it is the first Vircon32 game written in C++!
Download it here:

Now you can make Vircon32 games in Lua language! Thanks to v32lua, a lua compiler made by Matthew Haas.

And just after TinyJoypad, @joyrider3774 did it again! Gamebuino Classic is a Vircon32 game that features 111 games from the first Gamebuino handheld. See some of them in this image.

In the weekend i ported crisp games lib portable from @abagames to @vircon32, and with help of @claudeai ported an extra 224 #games from js to c Vircon32 dialect. Afterwards backported them also to the SDL port so we now have 266 js games ported to c :)
