Also, nitro2k01, i was wondering whether you would be able to have a look at my corrupt lsdj sav and see if its fixable, stupid gameboy pocket, it only have 2 song that i know are corrupt where one is only towards the end and the other has random instruments in the wave + noise channels (as far as i know). should i send it to: nitro2k01  at   gmail   dot   com?

Regular USB->LPT devices only provide access to a subset of the pins on the port, which is enough for printing and nothing more. This is explained on his page. I will mail him and ask what the device costs.

Also, any code I've dealt with so far needs a physical address (LPT1/0x378) in order to work. I found this out the hard way when I did some development a few years ago.
You're welcome to try it, but just a fair warning before you buy anything!

I was just wondering whether this would work or if there was another solution to my problem.

GB Transferer -> USB to Parallel port adapter -> Mac  -> GB Cart Flasher (the software for mac)

or

GB Transferer -> USB to Parallel port adapter -> Mac  -> Parallels or similar software -> original gb transferer software


Thanks

Lyam
