Welcome to the new Vimm's Lair! The site has been totally redesigned to eliminate frames so now you can bookmark or link to any page in the site. Everything should look pretty familiar though there are some minor tweaks here and there, such as news updates appearing on the home page. And to celebrate the launch, a new Game Boy Advance section has been opened in The Vault. Enjoy!

The new handheld Vaults are progressing well. All screen shots for the Game Boy have been completed and more Game Boy Color screens are added daily.

A new frameless version of Vimm's Lair is in the works. While it's not quite as efficient, once completed you'll finally be able to bookmark or link to any page at Vimm's Lair.

The order was placed today to add some more bandwidth to Vimm's Lair, roughly ten times more, which should speed up the site considerably (not that it's slow, but more never hurts). The upgrade should take effect sometime next week.

The Vault now supports playing games directly from your browser using the Java emulators vNES and vGBX. Each game in the NES, GB, and GBC Vaults now have a "Play" button which will load the game right in your browser. You must have Java installed and while not all games will work, most seem to play well. For now only the default controls are available and the option to configure your settings will be coming soon.
