cartreader VS arduino-gameboy-printer-emulator

This particular copy—which was $38 shipped; I probably could've done better, but it was convenient!—appears to have been owned by a Shin Sakuma (佐久間伸 Sakuma, Shin) who put more than a few hours into it judging from the saves. (Which I backed up using my Open Source Cartridge Reader, in the interest of preservation. 😌)

I use my Open Source Cartridge Reader to read/write N64 controller paks. (And read/write save data from cartridges.)

In the long run, another solution might be to buy/build an Open Source Cartridge Reader and use it in combination with one of the more readily available modern flash cartridges.

I'm not from Germany (I'm from France) but I did modify my Nintendo 3DS with something called Gomode9 to dump my DS and 3DS games, I did bought an external Blu-Ray reader BP50NB40 which can be used to dump PS3 games with a tool called ps3-disc-dumper and I built a Sanni Cart Reader (https://github.com/sanni/cartreader) to dump other kind of cartridge for older consoles.

if your into soldering and have other retro games you want to look into the sanni cart reader https://github.com/sanni/cartreader

If you can solder, sanni cartreader is probably the best way to go. Otherwise, you can pay to have one built.

I was looking at this similar project yesterday: https://github.com/mofosyne/arduino-gameboy-printer-emulator

I used an arduino nano. upload this code to the arduino, and connect the wires in the link cable to the pins on the arduino, and then open this page in Edge or chromium (firefox doesnt unfortunately support Web Serial) https://herrzatacke.github.io/gb-printer-web/#/gallery/page/1 Then just go to the print menu in gameboy camera (multi print is in START -> Link -> Print -> options) and they will pop up in the web page

As an alternative to the gb operator, you can use Arduino with cut link cable to simulate gameboy printer and print to pc https://github.com/mofosyne/arduino-gameboy-printer-emulator after making it, open this page in Edge, connect the arduino through usb and link cable to the gameboy and start "printing" the image. in the web app it should show as transfering, and then it will let you save the png https://herrzatacke.github.io/gb-printer-web/#/gallery/page/1

Cheapest way? Probably this one.

I build one of these for about $25 bucks to get my pics off the camera and onto my computer. If you're comfortable soldering, it's pretty easy.

You can also make this really simple Gameboy Printer Emulator using an Arduino for <€10: https://github.com/mofosyne/arduino-gameboy-printer-emulator

I built one of these which let's you download the images to a computer. You could then print them on whatever printer you have. :-)

You can check this github. There is a lot of info, and the community is very nice.
