I bough the Benn Venn Gen3 Reader/Writer
http://bennvenn.myshopify.com/collectio … riter-gen2
It works really well!, no issue and it also have a nice tutorial to how config the hardware in your computer and extract the data. So i recommed this one if you need to transfer all your .sav data from your old and not so old gameboy games.
]]>There are a couple of sites that will decode the .sav file into image files... I just can't find the bookmark at the mo.
Gieskes has a nice one that makes animated gifs from them:

Sorry, only mildly related... but I had this big idea for shooting a music video on GB Camera and realized it was going to be a huge amount of effort to work with so few frames at a time... So I gave up on using the hardware and got the Retroboy camera app for Android. It looks exactly the same and records longer videos without the fuss. If you're trying to do something similar, it might be a better way to go.

]]>I have the GB Transfer II, but actually dont have a old computer with parallel port so i cant backup my SAV files anymore. Till i get a new computer i preffer to spend that money on a new hardware and sounds like this is the winner for now.
]]>What you mean? the hardware is connected to the Phone instead of the computer?
Yeah. The BitBoy is especially interesting to me when it comes to portable use.
I was able to mime that with my Joey up until Android 6.0.1.
On a computer the Joey still works fine. If you just want to be able to transfer pictures to a computer the Joey is much cheaper.
I though the joey had the ability to 'stream' pictures out of a gb camera.
Have you tested it?
I think the streaming option has nothing to do with getting pictures off the camera album.
I have not yet used streaming so correct me if i am wrong with my assumption. (But it wouldn't work either, as you need Python running, which is not available in Android directly)
Using BennVenn's Joey Joebag you have a more versatile tool at your hand being able to get save files etc. And it's much cheaper. But you have to be aware of the fact, that it also means more work for you to get those pictures of the camera save file then. Sure, there are tools available, but it's an extra x steps to get the pictures.

Yes, the BitBoy is just for GB Camera.

With what i said: Keep the android version in mind. This is really an issue. I don't know if or when this will be solved or if it can be solved for the Joey Joebags. I don't know if it is a problem with the software on my smartphone or the Joey Joebags hardware (or its firmware respectively). For Android the problem is clearly its newly introduced Storage Access Framework. This is causing me trouble to read data from or write data to the Joey Joebags. Make sure, your Android version does not have SAF. (It came to my phone with Android 6.0.1)

]]>BennVenn's could be an option if you have a Android phone below 6.0.1. I was able to use the joey joebag (with some older firmware [pre-python]) with my android phone until i updated my phone to that version. Atm i am not able to transfer anything to the joey joebag anymore because of that update.

@nitro2k01, awesome!!! but looks like out of my knowledge! XD
