==Cartridge==
The Virtual Boy uses 60-pin cartridges which connect to the console through a series of needle-like pins instead of a typical cartridge slot with flat contacts. Unlike cartridges for most other consoles, the ROM chip in a Virtual Boy cartridge does not sit on the label side of the board.
