That F.A.Q. was updated the 4th october 2006 |

|
What is a PixelBoy anyway? |
|
The PixelBoy is a virtual console created by dot-invasion. It's able to load and play virtual game cartridges. The available and/or playable cartridges are listed here. |

|
Virtual game cartridges? |
|
That's right; the game datas are stored inside virtual external cartridges, that you need to plug (virtually) into the PixelBoy. Then the corresponding game will load, and you'll be able to play it. |
|
|
Is my PixelBoy working correctly? My screen shows grey graphics... |
|
The PixelBoy has been built to accept only 5 colors. That will let you focus on the gameplay rather than eye candy graphics.
...If you are still unhappy, just buy a Nintendo GameBoy Advance or a DS and buy one of the games we participated in ("The chronicles of Narnia", "the sims 2", "Garfield and his nine lives", etc)! |

|
Since it's virtual, how do i play the PixelBoy? |
|
You can play the PixelBoy with your keyboard. You don't need to use any of the PixelBoy's buttons. |
|
|
I don't like the look of your PixelBoy! |
|
Sorry, there's nothing we can do about that... Oh yes, if you want you can change the skin of your PixelBoy: just go into the menu "change the look of your PixelBoy" and select your favorite skin. This will not even pause or restart your current game! |
|
|
I'm a pixel artist and i want to collaborate on your next PixelBoy game |
