I have an Everdrive GB x5, and sometimes looking for the roms you have as cartridge is a pain, because due to legal actions must of the sites are down. I would get this thing!
MrMega yes also true and im buying this bc i will connect the cartridge to my pc use emulator when i finish gaming update save filr just like a 4k game boy
I want to scream right now... I wish this was there just a few years ago when I still had my Pokemon Silver save data alive, I had so much I wanted to keep on it :’(
Well sir, "these sort of things" is exactly why me and I am sure a lot of others didn't know about them, as they were unfamiliar to majority of people.
Nice to see a company making something that's pretty much a bare circuit board with a few other components look so beautiful! Great video as always Keep it up!!
I won One of this jewel on a Reddit raffle, I love it. You didn't mention that with future upgrade of the firmware this thing will be able to WRITE rom on blank cartridges!!
Epilogue's GB Operator is based on this, isn't it? Edit: Yep. It's from the same creator. I have no idea why he rebranded from Submodule to Epilogue, though.
New hardware: **exists** Elliot: by the queens crown this is free real estate govna pip pip cheerio British parliament and such *sipping tea intensifies*
So in theory you could so use this to get a bunch of Legendaries from the Pokémon games and then trade to them to another Pokémon game that's gonna hold them for you and then once you've cloned them all transfer them back to the game you want them on
Please don't take this as an attack, but I must clarify something. Your mention of selling the games after dumping is actually one of the illegal reasons to dump ROMs, just like distribution of the ROM itself. ROM dumping is only really legal for backup of owned games in case of damage, loss, or for library consolidation while storing the original copies (just like CD/MP3 ripping). Of course, I state this purely for informational reasons. I love your videos and look forward to the next one. And I actually am interested in the product. It could be used in migration of GB saves to a hacked 3DS, something many Pokemon fans would love to do in order to migrate their Pokemon to newer games.
Nice video! But if you dump a rom you can't just sell your original cartridge and keep your rom. In Europe, the law says that you can have a backup of any game/dvd/bluray as long as you keep owning the original and you don't sell the copies of course. I'm not just saying that to be "Mr Legal" but because TH-cam can strike your video for that. Anyway, keep up the good work mate!
I got a GBxCart RW. Better and cheaper, just a much more simple UI. $29 USD and I've already gotten personally helped on Twitter with a chip that didn't previously work.
Fast Forward to 2022. You can't get the GB-01 anymore. Support is now limited according to their website. Although you can still get the software, it is not known how long the site will stay up. No further updates to the software will be released. The Software was called by the community to be made open source, but Submodule commented that due to using some proprietary libraries that were bought from other companies to be used in their software they were not allowed to make it open source for future updates. Glad I got mine while I still could (Also Glad I waited 6 months to get it in the states instead of cancelling my order).
you might want to check out bennvenn's version of the card reader, it reads and WRITES saves AND ROMS on gb, gbc, and even gba bootleg carts. original carts cannot be rewritten of course, but that won't be possible at all I think, so that's about as good as you'll ever get
thanks for the vid showing this off! I have my old games, a new emulator console and I hope *fingers crossed* that it'll even work with my old flash cart that just can't run with it's connecter on a modern computer. oh, and I'm pleased to say that the discount code still works :)
I'd highly recommend the GBxCart RW by insideGadgets. It's ~$30 and supports a LOT of cartridges (as far as I know MBC1, MBC2, MBC3, MBC5, and flash carts with the GBxCart icon that you can find here: flashcartdb.com/index.php/Main_Page ). It also has support for saving Game Boy Camera photos as well as recovering deleted ones. Definitely worth checking out.
The Gameboy itself survived even a flamethrower (Casey Neistat video). Nintendo should put their money into this making a new gameboy version. They are missing a TON of opportunity and money on this one.
Last year I completed Pokémon Red with all 151 monsters caught. I did this using Red, Blue and Stadium and no cheat devices. I really want to back-up this save to show my child when they grow up. (Hoping they're a Pokémon / Nintendo fan)
@@remlap Huh you're right. The main page clearly says "The application runs on Windows, Mac and Linux", but the download page only has Win and Mac links. Perhaps it is still in development.
Yes! Love your videos! Also, I'm a GB collector... guess I need that... Also, there's a thing called mega memory pack that also allows you to do this, great to see there's other options too!👍🏾👌🏾👍🏾👌🏾👍🏾
Yeah I just recently finally had my batteries die on me. They lasted a long time! Just replaced them, so now back to the grindstone with fresh memory batteries!
@@r100curtaincall yeah the battery last 10+ years without fail just when i went to check my pc box of my hard 6 months work of trading with friends that no longer care or play pokemon it was a grind because that is link cable days :(
Btw anyone who wants one now they discontinued making these and support is limited according to the website I'm really kicking myself by not getting one before they stopped making them
I got the everdrive GBA X5. Got all the GB/C/A games on it along side with all the NES games :) stored on a Sandisk 128GB micros card. The entire GBA NTSCU collection is 12gigs. Total sized used is 14gigs. Got over 100gigs to spare. 128GB are cheap now ^_^ i got it in my GBA SP silver model
Tried to buy, paid for it, waited over 6 months, asked customer service about it, they lied that they shipped it, when I started a paypal dispute, they finally admitted that it was never sent and they did not have the parts to assemble one
in theory using the 3ds's gba workaround that ambassadors used do you think it's possible someone could make an adapter that plugs into a 3ds's gamecard slot and the other end could imput gba carts?
@@Eaton. It's good. I've dumped all of my GameBoy/GameBoy Color/GameBoy Advanced games and backed up the saves and didn't have any issues with it. I now want one for all of the cart based consoles I have. lol.
You should try to fix a game.com, someone had one up on ebay that had battery damage for $25 or best offer and I should have gotten it and tried to fix it but I already have 2, it's a pretty neat system
Instead of buying this cart reader, go to the bennvenn store and buy the Joey Gen3. It costs around the same and can read GB/C and GBA games. It also features support for chinese clone carts, so you can make your own games and flash them onto a cheap chinese game from eBay or Aliexpress.
Very interesting! They charge in Euros and they seem to be from Holland but are they sent from Europe safe? Because if they sent it from China they can stop it in customs.
You should make a video about the retroflag gpi case when it comes out. It should be coming out within a few days, but get it quickly because people say it will sell out within the first day of release. You do require a raspberry pi zero or zero w and a micro sd card to make it work, bt i think it'll be worth it.
"you can save your save files"
*"Meh"*
"You can save and upload your GB Camera ph-"
*"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"*
Woah! You could get an ez flash cart, and literally condense your entire collection onto a single cartridge! Saves and all. That's amazing

there are Arduino shields for gb and gbc games

Before swapping batteries, load your game and save on an emulator, just to make sure it's all there!

For those interested in only backing up GBA roms and saves, you can do that easily with any R4 and a DS Phat or Lite.
That packaging and attention to detail on that module is pretty nice
a beautiful little device. I really wish i had it 15 years ago. but now I have the flash cart and getting this would make it safer to copy the roms

they make game savers like this that work directly on the GB via a passthrough cart. without a pc!
The description should always have the explanation even if the title is clickbait
How is it clickbait?
The Great Wave Of Something by Some Japanese Dude is one of my favourite pieces of art.
Fun fact, ds phat and ds lite can also do this with a homebrew, but only works on gba carts

This is really neat but it’s close to $75 in US dollars. Little steep for me at this time - thanks for sharing
Before anyone asks, of now, 45 Euros is $50.27
And since you are pretty much blocked with Paypal it's usually 0,80-1$ on top of that, due to their lower conversion rate.
