what's that tool called?




Posted by dlb57vb

I have been looking at hardware stores and can't find the tool (or it's name) that takes out those star looking screws (both sizes) from the Virtual Boy console unit and the AC Adapter TAP. Please help out with what the tool is and where is a good place to get them or look for them.

Thanks, David

There really is no name for this tool or any place to buy one. Unless someone makes one and sells it on ebay or something. Here are some links that pretty much tell you how to make one yourself. It's really not that hard to do.

You can buy some tools (bits) to fit those screws, however I'm yet to see one that is long enough to fit the deep screws of the VB. The only choice you have if you want to open your VB is to do as Opeth suggested.
