    I used to have this transfer cable for my GB Camera. It was a great accessory when it worked with my Pentium 233 running Win95. A few years back I remember throwing it out. I now regret that move immensely. I want to do some stuff with my flickr account. If you know where I can get one of these, I would greatly appreciate it.

    PS: It MUST include the software CD.

    Please leave a private message or info in the thread if you can help me out.

    Just in case you want to run it under WinXP, you'll need this to allow port access: http://www.beyondlogic.org/porttalk/porttalk.htm (scroll down to the bottom of the page for the download link).

    Oh, and post a link to your pics when you have some.

    I've pretty much given up on trying to find one of these cables in the US. They are so very niche. So now I'm looking to build one. There is a Gameboy Printer emulator out there. But the website is very minimal and says that it will work with a "modified cable" but offers no extra instruction.

    Anybody got any more info or know somebody that can help out?

    Thanks!

    You could just buy mine, I'm sure the couple of $ extra in postage would be better than pissing around making a cable when there's no decent instructions.

    Thanks Tachikoma, but getting it to the US is going to cost an arm and a leg. I've got some free parallel cables from my boss and am in the mood to solder. Upon closer inspection the zipped files for the emulator contain rudimentary pinout information.

    I've taken to building a transfer cable to get the pictures of the Gameboy Camera. I haven't had much luck with the documentation for creating a cable to use with the Gameboy Printer Emulator. I've ridden the failboat three times now.

    If anyone in the US has a cable I'm still looking. Please message me ASAP.

    PS: Before you blast my soldering skills, the one pictured is my first stab. I've done considerably better on the latter ones.
