One of the first examples of DLC for the Game Boy can now be emulated.

Pocket Family GB used the GB KISS LINK to download a Family Photo Event from Hudson's website. It allows players to save photos of their current family with the GB Printer.

DLC files were recovered from Hudson's old website via Archive.org. GBE+ can send them to the game and aside from the time/date, it works fine.

Seems Hudson set the wrong exposure for the printer, so the photo comes out way too light!

New article about the Campho Advance is live:

shonumi.github.io/articles/art

The article delves into the challenges of dumping one of the most convoluted cartridges on the Game Boy Advance as well dealing with telephony.

Imagine how crazy you'd have to be to turn a GBA emulator into a working videochat program. Heh, who does that?

New article about emulating the Play-Yan and Nintendo MP3 Player is live:

shonumi.github.io/articles/art

The article explores the many, many, many steps it takes to get audio/video playback working for these GBA cartridges.

I can finally wash my hands of the Play-Yan/Nintendo MP3 Player. It took 4 years of on/off development to reach this point!

This past week, I've been busy adding webcam support (via networking) to GBE+. That means the Campho Advance can display a live stream from a phone or laptop!

After this, I just need to add microphone input and transfer that data between 2 instances, and then Campho Advance emulation will be feature complete.

New year, new Edge of Emulation article! This one is about the Glucoboy, a GBA cartridge that doubles as a blood glucose meter.

For years, this cartridge was one the rarest pieces of Game Boy hardware out there. It was only last year that the Video Game History Foundation managed to dump the ROM.

Now you can emulate the Glucoboy without any actual blood!

So, I may have finally dumped the last bits of the Campho Advance ROM. It's really dumb how I did it (boot the cartridge with the power cable plugged into it, unplug, re-plug, then extract data) but it worked!

The ROM data is kinda weird because of the way it interacts with the GBA BIOS, but there's a full ROM header. Some interesting facts:

Game Title = "VidBoy"
Game Code = "VB01"
Maker Code = "AM"
Claims to be a DACS cart

So Campho ROM dump is complete. Will post more deets later. #emudev
