;Rustual Boy: Claims [https://github.com/emu-rs/rustual-boy/blob/master/README.md#known-game-compatibility 100% compatibility], however, accuracy isn't as good as Mednafen or even VBjin, and speed is even worse.

;[https://github.com/skyfloogle/red-viper Red Viper]: An updated fork of r3Ddragon, which itself is based on Reality Boy / Red Dragon. Runs all officially released Virtual Boy games at full speed on the original 3DS and has 3D support with the 3D depth slider (and anaglyph mode for 2DS users with 3D glasses). Also lets you change the Virtual Boy's color output (including individual layers) to any hex color, customize controls and touchscreen buttons (including support for New 3DS inputs and Circle Pad Pro), save settings per game. Local multiplayer support is also available in v1.2.0 onward, allowing two nearby 3DS systems to play multiplayer locally together (New 3DS systems recommended for full speed in multiplayer, as there may be slowdown for both players if one is on an Old 3DS).

;[[MAME]]: The games run and are playable, since 0.254, most non-pirate games (and one pirate game) got promoted to "working". However, accuracy is very poor, specially graphics wise. Lastly, it's slow, but not as slow as Rustual Boy.
;Planet Virtual Boy emulator: A Virtual Boy emulator written in Java, and it was first released in 2018. 3DS support was planned. [https://www.virtual-boy.com/forums/t/pvb-emulator/ Forum thread].

;[[Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics]]: The first official emulator of the system from Nintendo. Released on February 17, 2026; it supports at least 17 different games for Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscribers (of these 17, one is exclusive to Japan and two were originally unreleased). Although a set of special set of lens that are "required" to play does exist from Nintendo, it only implies that the emulator does not run in TV mode when docked.
