  • I've always loved the iconic look of Game Boy Camera images, even though it's a very difficult camera to work with. If only there was a way to share those photos, or transfer them to a computer...

    The gb camera is awesome!
    I wrote one of those programs to extract bmp files out of gb .sav's and I use the "Mega Memory Card" to extract the save files and the "Ems flash cart" to transfer it to an sd card.
    You said those can be pricey but you're using a GameCube + Game boy player + Action replay. Maybe the real problem to my approach is to actually find the items for sale.
    Anyways, my software generates indexed bmp files that allows you to change the palette without doing anything weird.
    Here it is for the interested github.com/Rombusevil/rgbcdumper
    Anyways, awesome video to see these days!

    This is one neat little device. I remember how I enjoyed to work with this thing as a teenager. Even did fascinating stop motion stuff, that I sadly never recorded onto anything.
    Anyway, this thing still emits some weird fascination. Working with the absolute bare minimum needed for photos really is something, and the esthetics are unique. I am thinking about starting to take my good old Game Boy with me everywhere and take well adjusted pictures of stuff. It only holding 30 pictures gives it an even bigger challenge. Putting out a collage after years would be a nice thing.

    To get my photos off my gameboy camera I used a Madcats Camera Link. It is a GB-25pin Parallel port cable that runs in windows 98, I just dumped the photos and used a flopy disc to get the files onto my main machine (with a USB floppy drive). It works quite well, I have 2 boxed ones in my collection. However if I had have known about this solution I would have not bothered with tinkering with old PCs and Laptops to get the files and just used that.

It's all you need to rip the .sav file with the images and it's only 37 eur on Tindie (shipped directly from the guy who makes it). There's a few reviews of it on UA-cam but in short it works great, and it's fast. Plus you can backup Game Boy save files with the same device if you're so inclined!
