Actually I fixed it earlier today. The EMS wasn't contacting fully with the MMC, I tried everything and it wouldn't work, so I just took the guts of the EMS and put it in a GBC cart (which wasn't that easy. I had to remove a butt ton of plastic in the cart). After that it worked though.

So i have no idea about this but you said you formatted the ems to remove all rom from it? But zerolanding said he puts a camera rom in the ems before transferring. Mmiht this be where the problem lies? Sorry if im missing something  obvious. Just trying to be helpful.

I remember I had to use a GBA with the MMC so that the cart wouldn't get bumped as easily.

I remember of a PD rom that behaved as a GB Printer, you would link up 2 gameboys, the gameboy would with the gbprinter rom would display on screen what the other gameboy "printed".
I don't remember if this rom saved the printed pictures. But maybe you can look into that?

EDIT: and by that i mean if you can link up 2 gameboys, one with the gbcamera, the other with the "gbprinter rom" (flashed on your EMS) you can then backup the save file from the gbprinter rom and use it.

EDIT2: the name of the rom is Gameboy Printer Emulator V1.0 by Jeff Frohwein (PD). I'd post a link to it, but I'm not sure it'd be legal since the site also hosts illegal roms.

I just now tried that and still only got a blank screen. I even put in a fresh battery

EDIT: If I put the EMS cart circuit board into a GBC cart would it work?

I used to always put a cam rom on to the ems, and make sure no other .savs were on the card. I forgot once and it turned out fine, but that's how I did it. keeping fresh batteries and laying to gameboy on a flat surface while it did it's thing kept me from bumping it. try that with the color.

Yellow MMC, 64M EMS, and I've tried my GB Color and GBA SP. I just cant get the MMC to put the camera data on the EMS. I dont know why...

What version of the MMC do you have? (Yelllow or black)
What EMS cart are you using? (32M (blue) or 64M (Black))
What kind of Game Boy are you using?

Not sure if I understood it correct but afaik most GB Camera ROMs wont work on EMS carts.

This is all that's to it. Where in this process do you encounter problems?

I'm using Windows vista. I already backed up the camera onto the MMC. I plugged in my EMS into the PC and removed any rom that was on there (I clicked "format", I dont know any other way to take roms off of the EMS cart). When I attach the EMS to the MMC It is very loose so I try to keep it as still as possible. When I press "restore" nothing happens so I assumed that the EMS wasnt making contact since it was so loose. I tried lightly pressing the cart against the contacts, turned it on and it wont even boot. Just a blank screen.

What version of Windows are you using.

We won't know what you are doing wrong unless you give a full run down of the process you are following... in detail.

Yup, I tried exactly that. the MMC does not acknowledge the EMS cart and when it does The whole thing wont boot period. Also does your EMS move around freely when connected to the MMC? Mine wont lock in place.

The process is:
Take your GBCam, dump it into the MMC backup memory. Take your EMS cart, send the backup data of your GBCam into it. Take your EMS cart, dump the .sav in your PC. Extract the images with whatever program able to do that (GB Camera Dump if I recall correctly).

Just in case your missing something.

I don't think you read my first sentence. All of them trail off into taking about tech stuff that I dont understand. I just need to know what I'm doing wrong, or "GB Camera to PC for Dummies" instructions

just sayin

I did it with my EMS cart and MMC and had 0 problems...
