I love the gameboy camera, the small library of .sav files I have is a testament. Pics, pixel art, animations and Trippy H has me glued. I noticed there are only threads for dumping pics and showing pics. I have crawled the web to find as many relevant links and info for the GBC and decided to give them an easy to find home. From the bottom up

Manual:

Funtoshop Official Guide:
http://s1015.photobucket.com/albums/af279/Funtography/
Great guide with a section on Trippy H and how to print your music and settings, along with the other Gbc secrets and easter eggs.

Cart Dumping With EMS and MMC:
http://jamesumber.com/?p=23
Jim's Blog Straight tutorial on the .sav transfer process with the easiest hardware to find. Jim says the MMC can only hold on save, but I have found it can hold at least 3 .sav files for the GBC.

Cart Dumping With Transferrers:
http://www.reinerziegler.de/readplus.htm#GB_Flasher
Reading up on most transfer systems being a pain so I opted for posting a link to build your own USB GB Transfer/Reader/Write Unit. Complete with PDF and PCB Stencils. On my to build list, haven't seen it in the forums here. If anyone has built it let us know how it turned out. Amazing website in general.

.Sav Pic Extractors:
http://drx.a-blast.org/~drx/projects/ga … ex.en.html
DRX, an old webpage with working links to both standalone programs Gb Cam Dump and Ghost Camera, both work fine with windows whatever.

http://gieskes.nl/gameboy-camera/
in browser .sav to gif converter with color options and a public gallery. Seems to be the easiest way to go for mac users. Gieskes is a master of many things...

Video Output:

http://gieskes.nl/gb_camera_video_out_tutorial/
If you can track down the GBA2TV adapter, a camcorder with an input jack and a long extension cord, it is the closest you can get to a moveable live Gameboy Camcorder.

-Video output with a super gameboy or gameboy player is also good for recording stationary live footage, native animations, pixel art, photo editing and makes a good tripod for time lapse. Waiting for a usb video capture to share my little animations, and I'm just to lazy to redo them as GIFs. although that might be easier.

Editing:

Funtoshop works with windows xp and works with the Mad Katz link cable if you have it. Edit with lots of palettes,stamps and frames, stitch panoramas, and if your sick of hardware you can turn any pic into a Gbc pic.

Fun:

Successful attempt at making color pictures

Camera Eye:

Interesting and technical article on the Eye of the GBC

I hope this thread helps people find info a bit easier, and maybe somebody catches something they missed. Feel free to add to the list.

Just figured this out. You can change the pitch up and down in Trippy H from the dj screen, right. Keep your finger on the right dpad while rocking slightly up and down. This pitch goes up 1 oct and down by 2. As soon as you let go of right the pitch/key returns to normal.

also tapping left or right causes a sort of repeat/stutter effect.

Is it possible to do SRAM transfer from the GB camera using an "e-merger" backup system?

this is what Akira^8gb says about e-Mergers and gbc.
WORD OF WARNING:
This reader does NOT like the Game Boy Camera. Trying to read the data of your GB Camera with this will result in you losing all pictures.

Fixing Lines with EMS Transferrer I Device:
http://lowgain-audio.com/GBTransfererPSUmod.htm
This is a mod to the power supply of the Transferrer II device which eliminates the lines caused to the pictures when using it to extract the *.sav file from the GB Camera.

Adding a Quick Memory-Dump Switch
http://lowgain-audio.com/GBCameraMod.htm
This is a mod for adding a switch to the GB Camera which kills the battery power, erasing the memory.

Also holding in start+select during start up does the same thing.

the rest are dead and I'll be damned if the build page is lost for good. shame, but still good to know
