I decided to test my casino game on a real Virtual Boy. Good thing, since there was a ton of problems I needed fixing. The screen was rolling like it was a PAL 2600 game on an NTSC console. Fixed that. Then the chip in roulette wasn't displaying correctly. It was flickering like the ghosts in 2600 Pac-Man, but only on the bottom row. So I redid the roulette table so it didn't go down as far and that fixed it. Hopefully I didn't break anything new in Roulette since the game's deciding whether you won or lost code depends on where the chip's x and y position are.

So now with everything fixed. the next step is to begin work on a slot machine. I designed the reel for it today, before the hours spent trying to make my game work on a real Virtual Boy. It will have seven icons on it. And three reels, perhaps I'll add two more if I get it working okay. Today's work was enough for me today.
