Saving My LAST Childhood Game Cartridge with the Gameboy Operator - Tutorial and Review

I believed my entire game collection from my childhood was lost until I stumbled upon one of my all-time favorites stuck in a toolbox that had been sitting there for over 20 years. The real question is: Does it still work, and can I back up both the game and its save data? Let's take a look at the Gameboy Operator and find out!

Great way to preserve your childhood games 🙂

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Absolutely!

[@Eeeeeeeee75282]

i've got Pokémon Blue with its original battery that may die soon, so i am thinking about getting one of these. great video, by the way!

[@Topgunnder]

This looks so cool I'm tempted to purchase one

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Got some nostalgic games you want to backup? Probably worth it, especially if those are saves from your childhood favourites.

[@necrocene5183]

a ds lite with an r4 can back them up, also gba games dont lose save data if the most battery dies

[@javicar31896]

love the Epilogue device, thank you for showing it to more people.

[@addyou100]

Idk if its just when I visit the site but the button to add the operator to the cart just keeps loading and wont let me actually buy it. Is it still available?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Just checked and it seems to work fine for me on Firefox and Chrome. Could be a specific add-on blocking it maybe?

[@Artsyca]

I’m kind of surprised you can’t do that in the analog pocket

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Same! That would be a great feature if the Analogue Pocket could dump cartridges.

[@eduardoortega5962]

Hi! The selling company is from the US?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

I believe they're based out of the US, yeah. I don't remember if that's where mine shipped from though.

Does this operator work on windows 11 ?

[@KeiRetroGaming]

Yep, it should work fine on Windows 11.
