Every GameBoy Collector Needs This! 

"you can save your save files" *"Meh"* "You can save and upload your GB Camera ph-" *"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"*

You mean now I no longer need to worry about my Pokemon Crystal save someday disappearing? Count me in.

Woah! You could get an ez flash cart, and literally condense your entire collection onto a single cartridge! Saves and all. That's amazing

"the great wave of kanagawa" by Katsushika hokusai

So user friendly!!!!

8:19 "You got that rom legally obtained in your emulation device" *30 seconds later* "FBI OPEN UP!!!!"

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

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!!

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 :’(

Anti static bag is massive massive props to the company. Sadly very rare to see.

For anyone that wants to know, the artworks full title is "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". :D

New hardware: **exists** Elliot: by the queens crown this is free real estate govna pip pip cheerio British parliament and such *sipping tea intensifies*

This is a very handy bit of kit! Thanks for the overview Elliot, I wish there were more devices like this to "rip" other cartridge based media.

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.

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 RU-vid can strike your video for that. Anyway, keep up the good work mate!

"I got 27 points".. No, you died 27 times. Zelda DX has a special ending when you finish it without dying

Just get a GBXCart RW. Cheaper product, and cheaper shipping.

Just a small note, the wave painting was done by katsushika houksai.

This thing is sick. Great video brother.

27 points.. Trys 27 deaths ;)

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.

Oof, if i had this as a kid i'd still have my shiny typhlosion form pokemon gold

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.

Where was this when i lost all my data of 250 pokemon i spent collecting 😣

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.

GBXCart RW, Bennvenns joey, J.Rodrigo cart flasher all cheaper and can also write ROMS to flash carts.

Great video! Very imformative might get one for myself and try this out! I do already have a Everdrive but it could be a fun experiment

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).

That reader really needs to have a case 3dprinted for it. Or does it come with a case?

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

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

The description should always have the explanation even if the title is clickbait

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!👍🏾👌🏾👍🏾👌🏾👍🏾

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

0:02 upload, get to bed everyone.

They don't make this anymore :/, your videos are great can't wait for you to come back!

Im in school right nwo watching this... I have always time fot your video!

Thanks for the video. Will for sure buy one myself

Fun fact, ds phat and ds lite can also do this with a homebrew, but only works on gba carts

27 points lol! That number is how many times you have died

3:34 when I finish going to the toilet.

4:10 more like 27 deaths XD

Dang it Elliot. I can feel the money loosening from my pockets already.

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.

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.

That packaging and attention to detail on that module is pretty nice

This is really neat but it’s close to $75 in US dollars. Little steep for me at this time - thanks for sharing

The Hokusai piece has cropped up twice now in your videos. At least this time you didn’t say it was by Da Vinci. XD

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

This is so sick!

wondering if the guys could make it smaller working with gbzero to have a gbzero capability with cart reading

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'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.

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

they make game savers like this that work directly on the GB via a passthrough cart. without a pc!

The Great Wave Of Something by Some Japanese Dude is one of my favourite pieces of art.

Before anyone asks, of now, 45 Euros is $50.27

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 have 27... points. What a way to reference dying.

It's cool that their software runs on Linux as well. EDIT: Not yet.

I’m not saying I want it. I’m saying I need it

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.

Cool piece of tech.. Definately going to buy one!

Just bought one can’t wait for my eon ticket

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)

Thanks for the discount code, it's a shame the shipping offsets it on almost double the discount.

Best thing ever for us Gameboy enthusiast 😁 thank you I'm going to order one👍✌️

45€ for a thing that the cheaper gbxcart or Flash boy cyclone can Do too? Can it write Rom on cartridge or only Read the Rom?

I do love that Gameboy you light, it looks great

I didn't even get to the end of the video before I bought this, I now can't want for it to arrive!

That'd be awesome. Finally I'd stop loosing my Dragon Quest III saves.

Hey! I love your work. Keep it up :D

18 Euro to ship? Can't they ship direct from China to Australia?

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

Nice.

This is sick. I just bought one. Thanks!

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?

I just placed my purchase.

The Joey Jr. From BennVenn is cheaper and is plug and play.

Wait I thought you couldn’t load any data back on to a cartridge because the type of chips on them are not writable

sick now i can port my emu saves over

Wish it was still available

Nice vid keep doing good😀😀

Best believe I just bought one

Wow that is awesome.

Everything looks very similar to the gb operator, this one it's no longer supported/sold, it's the gb operator from the same people?

I have the one Bennven makes, works great! Even with fake cartridges

Well...a DS Lite / DS with an R4 can backup saves too

Do a video on the e reader !!

Great video mate! I needs me one of these! 👍🏻

You can do that with a NDS and a R4

Guessing that the device does not write roms to the carts?

Got mine today and surprisingly it worked to dump GBA roms aswell. Great piece of hardware for sure.

just checked their website and it says the gb01 is no longer being sold :(

Weirdly, I replaced the batteries in all my dead Pokemon carts recently, and the saves that I thought were gone, are back, how is that possible?

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.

Hold up, creating a rom back up then selling the game means you no longer own a legitimate copy and so your copy is then an "illegal" copy. I use a Retrode 2 to back up my saves, but those are more expensive and cover many more consoles, also don't have the nice presentation that this unit has with it's software.

What are the odds that my Pokemon Emerald's battery died and then this video shows up on my feed lmao.

Does any know where to get a case for this device?? - mine just came in the mail and im looking for a way to protect it
