Way back in the early 2000s I used my GB Transferer to save my and my wife's pokemon Yellow and Blue saves. We went to Pokemon Event at the Woodbridge Mall in NJ and got Mew! It was very fun, they used modified Super Nintendos to load Mew on your cart!
The factory remember what they used is very important to history thank you for making this comment
Everything about your channel has helped me progress software and hardware wise and you have inspired me to invest in old consoles I have every system now each modified and preserved I love your intro and your passion, your informative videos never stop.
Thank you so much man! That truly means a lot to me. I am so happy that you are enjoying these old consoles as much as I am. Cheers buddy!
Perfect Timing for this video, was about to do a heap of save batteries on both mine and my brothers pokemon games and we were looking at hours of doing trades so try and save progress. had no idea this device existed until now. Thankyou :) ill definitely be getting one.
These devices are definitely a must have for Gameboy cartridge owners! I decided to go with the GB Operator over the GBxCart just because the PCB was protected in a nice clear shell, and it has a great user interface when linked to your PC. I would love a comparison video of the two Tito
I may have to do that. The gb operator looks like an over all nice package.
Has anyone mentioned that the GB operator when in GB/C dumping mode (5v like DMG, pocket, and color), is feeding that 5v to the microcontrollers 3.3v only port? Either this will pull the cart down to 3.9v and stress the hell out of it, or the MCU getting dragged up to 5v, with both scenarios having potential to damage both the 20 year old carts and/or the gbO.
Although, I must add that a few people have looked at gb operators from different factory batches, and it seems like the main microcontroller has been occasionally swapped with a pin-compatible model, so perhaps not all have the same errors.
@@MachoNachoProductions +1 would love to see a review of the GBxCart and the Joey jr V2-CC
I have both (GB Operator and this Insidegadgets GBxCart Pro 1.4). They function the same and they both read my original carts. GB Operator does look nicer physically with the shell. GBxCart's app is more technical whereas GB Operators is simpler but nicer looking and has a built in emulator. However, GB Operator doesn't yet support writing to my Insidegadgets 4MB MBC3 rewrite cart so I have to use the GBx to write my games for now. And neither work yet with my Surface Pro X Arm64 tablet so I have to use other laptops to do both.
@@MachoNachoProductionswell there's a dude on Etsy that shows 3d printed shell for like $14.25 after shipping
Can confirm the GB Camera functionality works well and is easy to use. I bought one of these about a year ago and used it to flash the Final Fantasy V and VI romhacks that restore the music in those games to sound like the SNES versions and gift them to friends.
This device can also write roms to fake/repro carts as well, which is handy if you find yourself in possession of one of those fake carts and want to put a different game on there. Figuring out what you *can* put on the repro/fake cart can be difficult, however, since not every game will fit/work. Still, it's nice to have the option!
Ive had one of these for a while. Perfect for save managing and i backed up my entire collection
Great review, although like others have mentioned, the Joey Jr is a better option without the need for additional software. Just drag and drop like a flash drive.
Enjoyed the wulff den shout out, been watching him for a while and have enjoyed his winding journey to find the best controller for himself
Agree! He’s a great content creator
if you spend 10 bucks more you get the epilogue gb operator, which looks far nicer and you even can play your games from cardridge on your pc :). it also can (in theory) detect if a game is a repro or not
But it's also not compatible with as many cart types, which is what matters most with these kinds of products.
I used this to download my Gameboy camera photos and it works great!
Nice. I just order a GB camera. Can’t wait to try it out 😁
Really well explained, Thank you!
I would love to see you review the GB Operator. It's a great price, it does everything the GBxCART PRO does and it enable you to play your games right from the cart.
That's an absolutely beautiful display of RBY Versions 👍
Great video, Tito! I'll look into getting one of these to back up my GBA games. Although most of the GBA library uses SRAM or Flash for storing save data, some do use batteries. Also, I have a handful of cartridges that I got from a lot of used Japanese games that are VERY finicky even after carefully cleaning them to the best of my ability, so I'm kind of scared of putting them into and out of my consoles too many times -- exactly one of the scenarios you mention.
Got one less than a year ago and I've been pleasantly happy with it. Came with a blue gba shell that I put around it, and it's SWEET
Nice! I can’t believe it took me so long to get one of these 😅
Excellent overview of a great piece of tech. Thanks Tito :D
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it Mitch 👍
I used to play the hell out of “Final Fantasy Tactics Advance” for the GBA. Even back then, I was worried about the saves dying on me. (I had bought the game used.) I got very lucky some years later when I saw a Mad Catz Gameshark in a local thrift store. I was able to extract my saves from the original cartridge and have it archived ever since.
Nice! I wasn’t so lucky. I’ve lost many save files to dead batteries. 😔
And yet, you still couldn't finish all 300 missions because you ran out of item space and threw a stupid key item away you couldn't get again
@@clydefrosch Wow this is painfully accurate lol.
@@salsbar most painful moment of summer that year, I spent so much time on that game just cause I wanted Cid and I never got him
I've used the RetroN 5 for a battery change - dumping the save from the cart, changing the battery, then copying the save back :)
I bought this for dumping gb camera shots and that's all I'll probably use it for. I'm very happy with it
Glad you made this video to show others an extremely useful form of video game insurance!
I bought the GBx and a programmable GBA flashcart early this year, the former to backup my Yellow and Crystal versions since I feared I would lose their data as I had never changed their batteries. While I unfortunately couldn't save Crystal, I was able to save Yellow before changing the battery. Also, Pokemon Stadium had a strange issue where it would silently but completely wipe my Yellow and Blue saves if I performed certain transfers, so having backups meant I only lost around 4 hours of progress, as opposed to losing entire save files.
The biggest use I found for the programmable flashcart that standard flashcarts don't have was being able to connect to other console peripherals. Since programming a ROM into the flashcart essentially turns it into that game completely, it's able to be detected properly by said consoles. This means that games like Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 can detect a flashcart of a Pokemon game and treat it normally, something that standard flashcarts can't do since they aren't programmed to be one specific game.
Additionally, the GBA flashcart is be able to connect to Pokemon Box, Colosseum, and XD. It's also able to be detected by the DS games, meaning you can use Pal Park to transfer Pokemon, or use it to find Pokemon that only appear when a certain GBA game is inserted. Other DS games also have the capability to detect certain GBA games and gain bonus content, like Mega Man and Advance Wars, so the flashcart would also work with those.
TL;DR: DS and console games that can detect GBA, GBC, and GB games while they're not being played can detect a ROM in a programmable flashcart, but not a standard, multiboot flashcart.
This is a big perk for those one-game programmable flash carts for sure. I was able to make a Pokémon Green Version hack cartridge that works on real hardware (it's a hack of Blue version to effectively transform it into Green, with an additional patch to give it the encounters, trades, etc of Japanese Blue version, which was a different game in Japan with different encounters, but with Red/Green's original sprites from Japan. Basically a version of gen 1 with all the things we didn't get in the west--making Green what Japan's Blue was to them) and needs no battery because it uses FRAM, and it works with Stadium 1 and 2.
There's actually an icon of the Green version cartridge on the interface of the Stadium games you can get if you link it up to either game, which is a funny little easter egg that accounts for the possibility that they may have released a Green version eventually.
Plus Pokémon Crystal Clear, a really quality ROM hack of Crystal, is touted as having full compatibility with Pokémon Stadium 2, and indeed, plays flawlessly in it if you connect a flash cart of this type to the Transfer Pak. Fully working GB Tower and everything.
@@DarkBowser64 Wow...this was a bunch of cool information I didn't know. I assumed the GB tower worked by pulling the ROM from the N64 cartridge and then grabbing the save file from the GB/GBC cartridge. If it's able to play ROM hacks...that's a whole different level.
I am quite interested in that Japanese blue hack you mentioned. I know it has some perks not present in the international releases, (like catching Jynx and Lickitung in the wild,) despite the international releases taking some other assets from it. Where would I be able to find this?
@@CodenameHockhead TH-cam is eating the comments I try to send you but suffice it to say RHDN has something called the "Red Green and Blue in 100% English". Combine the Green patch with another patch from a forum. Attempting to put search terms here gets it eaten. You'll have to scour the thread. "Encounters" is the key word, though. Patch the Blue to Green conversion first, then the JP Blue encounters/trades patch second.
Love my GBxCart! Great video :)
Thanks Sean! Totally agree bud, i love it too!
I have a Retrode with a GB adapter. It backs up everything bar the GBA save files, which is a little irksome... This product is very interesting, good video.
All we need is a Lynx and Game Gear solution and we are golden!
I just got my GBxcart can't wait to save and edit my GB/GBA games!
That gba shell is a slick idea
Nice video Tito, thank you for sharing!
When I was looking for options for this earlier this year, I decided on the BennVinn Joey Jr., mainly because it doesn't require outside software. I'll likely pick up a GB Operator once their software matures a bit more.
The thing thats most interesting about the Joey Jr is that it doesnt require a driver either. many of the other adapters need a driver and/or software and usually limit themselves to widnows this way.
Another great review Tito 👍
Have you heard of the bennvenn Jr? It's a plug and play decide, you can just drag and drop the ROMs and sav file on to you desktop without a software. After you backup you can play using your emulator on your pc. You can also write ROMs onto bootleg cartridges using Joey jr, not sure if the gbxcart can do that as well.
That sounds pretty awesome! I’ve heard of the bennvenn kit. I think I man need to try them all 😁
@@MachoNachoProductions I'll get one shipped off to you - We've also ported our code over to some of the chinese clones and we're about to port it to the GB Operator too
@@MachoNachoProductions the joey Jr has been an amazing tool for myself.
Great video, Awesome device, even better content. I would add to a con that while the pro version does include the GBA shell to protect the pcb, you would need to remove the shell every time you want to use it to be able to plug in the usb-c cable. Unless you mod the shell for usb-c port on the pcb.
Yes, you can mod the shell so that you can plug in the usb c. Also I’d recommend a clear shell, that way you can see the led indicators lights
dude this is essential for preservation of our games
Personally I see myself getting the GB op by epilogue, they have a massive group of supporters and funding to go with it so I know their software will only get better as well as one of their dev's basically confirming they plan on making their gb operator software into just "Operator" with their later op releases such as the snes and nes operators and more to come in later years.
Great video! Dyou think you can do a test of rechargeable aa batteries (like the jubilee and ikea laddas)?
If I didn't have a hacked Retron 5, I would be looking for something like this. I believe that in my country (uk) its legal to dump your own ROMs for the purpose of backup. I don't want to lose my original lv 99 Venusaur on Pokémon Red!
Yes! Back up that save as soon as you can😁. I wish I had this earlier. Lost my original Pokémon blue save file 😔
@@MachoNachoProductions that sucks 😔
I went with the GB Operator, very pleased with my decision!
I’m going to check them out
I've been waiting a month to buy this and quite literally 2 mins ago bought it and see that this was just released O.o
another great video. Thanks Macho!
Thank you 🙏. So glad you enjoyed it 😁
After a year or so I come back to this vid as my GBxCart Pro gets shipped these days and I am really excited as it allows to write games made with GBStudio.
Don't care for ROM dumps all that much really, albeit the GBxCart's software is FOSS and on Github, something I can't tell the Operator.
I prefer the "GB Operator" from Epilogue because it cames in a nice transparent housing shell which protects the circuit board and it has a very userfriendly software with preview pics fom each game. It also came with an emulator build in based on the mGBA. It only costs $10 more as the "GBxCART PRO v1.4"
I’ve heard good things about it. May have to check it out
The BennVenn joey JR is better than both. And requires no software.
@@blikpils came here to write the same.
I hate that these two need special software that at some point will loose support. I prefer the Joey Jr, as it is plug and play with any device and platform
I use a Sanni cart reader myself. But this is pretty sweet too.
@@OfficialSomeKindOfChris BennVenn is not better than Epilogue, as it costs almost as much, and doesn't look like a complete product. Right now the Epilogue GB Operator is the best card dumper, because it looks like a clean product that can I can leave on my desk, the UI is good, and integrates the open source mGBA emulator to one-click launch. I don't care if they eventually lose software support, as long as the devs open source the project at that point. Even if they don't open source it, someone will easily make an open source alternative.
your intro is bomb
Like many others, I have a prefer the BennVenn Joey Jr. mainly for the drag and drop functionality!
Que vídeo fantástico! Eu não sabia que já existia essa possibilidade. Parabéns pelo vídeo
Just imagine when people start collecting this just because of the brand and quality!!
Tito, I love your Channel. During the lock down I modded about a dozen GB-GBA consoles because of watching your channel. I don't see anyone mentioning your childhood save file from Link's Awakening. Three hearts?! 😂 I assume you lost your real childhood save. I find this funny because this is my one childhood save I managed to preserve. Many people make fun of the Retron 5, but I used it to backup this save file. Then the battery went and I used your Game Boy battery replacement video to help me replace the battery. In the spring I jumped back into the game beginning on level 6, and completed my 20 year quest by finally beating it. I did beat the color version of Link's Awakening on an emulator on psp, but there is something about retaining your childhood save. I played my cartridge on an assortment of GBs with Tito-inspired mods, finishing the game on my un-modded childhood DMG (I can barely see the screen now). I used the Joey Jr. to backup my endgame file which I uploaded to a GB everdrive, analogue nt mini noir, fx pak pro, Nvidia Shield, and my pc... A few of you asked about saving states (Tetris high scores, etc.), the GB everdrive is your best bet because you can save states with it. Save states are basically screen shots of your progress, so you can jump back into any point of any game.
Thanks Sean! So happy you enjoying the channel! You are right, I have lost many saves due to dead batteries. My biggest loss is Pokémon blue and chrono trigger from my childhood.
The GB01 is great too, I’ve had one for almost a year now and it’s awesome
Nice!
Intro pretty neat
I don't even wait. I click a MachoNacho video, hit thumbs up, and sit back. There is no need to to wait for that thumbs up.
Thank you so much 🙏😁
Thought this was cool - but soon as I heard you could backup GB Camera photos I was sold!
Excellent video!
Thank you 😁
Hve said this many tim s. Killer intro music
i feel like the intro would excel with just the gameboy spin and zoom
Reminds me of some things from waaaayyyy back in the days of db25,(parallel port). The old Bung GBXchanger!
I have a Killer Instinct GB Cart just sitting in a bag which hasn't been used in year's 👍👍👍
I have the GB Operator and the Inside Gadgets regular GB Flash unit. I hope they do an update for the GB Operator and get some better gameplay out of the thing but it does what it was made for well besides that.
I just want to put it here as proof. I used to remove battery every 5 years while the game is on. Placed the new battery in, isolation tape it, save again.
Just ordered the GBxCart, and I'm excited about the GameBoy Camera capabilities :)
Just ordered a gb camera to try it out too
@@MachoNachoProductions There's a couple of photos from the Japanese man who owned it before me, so this should be interesting haha
You can extract the save file and rom for gba games with a DS flashcard also restore save files totbe gba cartdrige, but for gb games this tool is awesome
I was able to backup my GBA carts and saves with a DS Lite and a flashcart plus homebrew. That's an option if you don't have any old games.
where has this channel been all my life????
I love your Videos. It's really creativ and we learn so much from your tutorials.
I'm also really interested in your Projekt "The Thiccboy SP" I'm sure it will me safe so much stress by delevop Games or testing Games on the original Hardware.
Please don't let us wait to long as possible.
I got a Joey myself. Mostly because I have Pokémon reproduction carts and I wanted to add full color patches to them which my other option (retro blaster) couldn’t do as it didn’t support as wide a range of reproduction cartridges.
I’m wondering something, since the analogue pocket can support saves state, would it work the same way since you get the save state when your battery runs out, so you juste replace it and load the save state? So this device is only useful if you don’t have an analogue pocket or if you really want to dump everything on your PC, right?
I like the save game backup functionality and I'd like to see it for Sega Mega Drive / Genesis cartridges, as I have copies of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles that have epic collections of save files from the previous owner, so the batteries still haven't died after 27 years but for how much longer...?
Great video! i found benn venn flash cart for 7 dollars and this is fairly cheaper than flash carts !
just ordered and put the code in to help out!!
There's also a retrode 2 that does this, with the correct adaptor of course. Also does snes, genesis, N64
Do you have to put the rom and save onto a flashcart? Or can you put the rom and save onto a genuine cart with a battery replacement?
Just ordered 1
You should check out the BennVenn Joey Jr, it's pretty much the same thing, except it doesnt require any software, is plug and play. and acts as a USB mass storage device
Retrode 2 could do some of that for many different systems for reading files.
I've been looking for a way to back up my gameboy saves. For Pokémon I wanted to take my virtual console saves with complete living dex and put them on cart. And maybe do a bit of editing to have some competitive pokemon for Pokémon Stadium.
My biggest concern is the lack of a shell on this. The board being exposed doest feel right to me but if it wasn't safe, they wouldn't have shipped it without one.
One thing I do like is the price. I currently own a Mega Memory Manager, 2 Retron 5s and 2 Brain Boys so it's not anything I need. Still cool though for those who do.
Would you be able to write save data back on to the card that you took the data from after?
Can I take the save file and put it back on the original cart, say after changing the battery and losing the save file?
Is it possible to backup rom, then write it onto a cartridge of another game? For example if I own a game in a language I don't speak, and my friends owns the english version, could I use his rom to make my game english as well?
retron 5 already lets you do all this AND apply ips patches. can you reinstall your saves onto a blank game cart?
Looks like a great product
Had one of these for years
I like using a Mega Memory Card to quickly backup saves on my GB and GBC games. It's much quicker and less of a hastle than getting out my computer interface adaptor. Idk if I'm able to dump the save files directly from it to the computer, but redundancy is good for things like this. Sadly intel never made a gba one to my knowledge, also Pokémon pinball and other rumble GB games require removing the screws in their cart to fit it in the MMC, but that's what the computer back apparatus are for.
Also the MMC makes it so much easier to dupe tms and other one-time items in my Pokémon games without using chest codes by depositing them into stadium and then loading the save before i lost the item.
Agree! Redundancy is key for making sure you never lose save files
I would really like you to demonstrate backing up a save, replacing the battery and then restoring the save after.
I have one of these. They're also great to export my photos from the Gameboy Camera.
Just ordered myself a GameBoy camera. Can’t wait to try it out 😁
11:40 - It's very strange that it can't. They could have used the same cartridge slot lever that GBAs used to tell the difference. Maybe they weren't able to buy slots with that lever for this project? 🤔
can I use all this to make copy of all the pokemon gameboy games and connect them with the n64 games ?
Is this product capable or writing .sav files onto authentic cartridges? For example I want to replace the battery on my pokemon emerald.
Can I back up the .sav file,
replace battery,
then rewrite the original sav back onto the cartridge?
I have a question, That flash you used can accept all Pokémon game (GBA,GBC)?
I just subbed. Can you show how those clear gameboy cartridge and console shadow boxes are made?
I ordered them from retro game repair shop. I put the affiliate link to them in the video description.
Is it posible to overwrite game save data into a Gb cartridge? For example, taking a pokemon sav file from an emulator to use it in actual hardware?
i'd love to see a video on gba flashcarts like everdrive gba x5 mini vs ez flash omega definitive
The cart that dumps roms is most definitely worth that price! The flash cart on the other hand...I don't know. I'm not saying it isn't expensive to produce, because I'm sure it is. But when comparing it to other options, it isn't the best choice for a large number of people in the community. A little pricey just to make a custom cartidge. I hope it sells well and they're able to get the price down, somehow. It looks really high quality!
You can of course reflash bootleg games, though be careful as many of them now have patched ROMs and no battery to keep the SRAM save. Plus there is no bootleg known on the market today that has a real time clock, so either time is frozen in the games or it only ticks when playing.
The reason the community solutions like IG and HDR's carts are so expensive is because they're deigned to match or exceed Nintendo's quality, as well as matching near perfectly the voltages and ram timings (Pokemon stadium 1+2's transfer pak known as most sensitive to both), where as bootlegs just use a diode to drop GB/C's 5V down to 4.2v, which is over the bootlegs flash chip 3.3v rating "but it works so we sell it."
One final bit, I've had close to 11 of my 2017 bootlegs completely die on me, where I couldn't even reflash them because some of them are recycled/reclaimed flash ROM from junked devices, as well as a 2020 bootleg corrupting a couple of my Pokemon Crystal PC boxes.
(its known to corrupt all Poke boxes with some shitty no battery patches, because no battery carts write save to SRAM, then pause the game because flash ROM cannot be read and written at the same time, after which it copies SRAM to an empty part of ROM, usually the space at the end, and resumes play)
@@duskshade520 Yeah, I hear what your saying. It's a Pokemon flash cart. It's certainly cheaper than buying every Pokemon game on Game Boy.
The flash cart can it run on the nintendo 64 transfer pak?? I mean with pokemon games on pokemon stadium 1 or 2
Al always geat vid and cool product. Question. If I backup my copy of Tetris and then restore it that writable cart with the battery will it save my high score?
Thanks Kill-9! That’s a great question. I imagine that since tetris can save high scores it is being written somewhere. It probably has a save file you can back up which you can then load to the flash cart.
@@MachoNachoProductions Cool,cool. Please let me know if you test this
@@Evercade_Effect If you apply the hack called "Tetris highscore save" then yes the flash cart should save your high score
@@insidegadgets Thanks for the info. I was able to google and find the patch.
Could you please make a video on how to upgrade the PSP GO memory using a micro SD adapter of some kind? I would really appreciate it. I like your content and would be nice to see how you do it. Thanks
So if I had Pokémon Crystals and wanted to replace the battery, could I save the game file on the computer and then replace the the battery to the old Pokémon Crystal cart and then put the save data back on the original game cart?
Where did you get the frame your loose cartridges are in
Just a heads up I purchased this GBX cart 1.4 pro and 120$ of other GBA parts from Retro game repair and it took them a week to even ship the product. i still haven't revived it yet ...
they also make custom pcbs for gameboy cartridges too
What are your thoughts on the Everdrive cartridge and would you ever do a video on it even tho it’s been around for a bit??
Which everdrive?
If I recall, there was the original ever drive GB, then the x3 x5 and x7 models
(x3 press button to copy SRAM save to SD, and if I recall only the x7 had rtc for pokemon)
The actual game boy advance detects the type of cartridge (GBA, GBC or GB) with a notch on the card reader, I don't know why they haven't implemented that on the gbx reader. Maybe in future revisions of the hardware this feature is included.
I know this is a old video but can you use this to erase a save file on a GBA cartridge like pokemon mystery dungeon to delete the adventure log?
Why dont 👏 u have a million subs 👏 production be on point
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it 😁
Can the save data be written back to the original cartridge?
can i use the card reader to load new roms on old cardridges with bad games on it?
