brain boy by pelican similar to mega memory card, $12 if you buy it now.
I read that those homebrew cables make lotsa problems. You have 3 cheap solutions, none involve building, or praying. All end up with .sav dumps.

Apparently these things sucked hardcore, 128k for games, no saves and any commercial games needed the nintendo logo altered before loading. I'm this close to getting it, but it would just be a paperweight for me. oh and MP3? thing is a bundle of confusing.

Anyone see this before? It's on ebay right now, and one on Amazon. Weird thing, almost nothing online, except usually it is a p.o.s. The original site is in the wayback machine, but most of it is non navigable. Weird as it was made by pelican, but filled with rip-off games, and software.

If anyone wants my eagle files I'll share them as well.

This guy right here just bought a transfer pak, first stop too. I would certainly enjoy following in your footsteps.

I really did not know that, now I have to put the num pad keys back!

Oh and just to comment on this. It is exactly the Zeigler design. I just followed the schematic and checked his PCB to make sure all my connections were correct since the schematic doesn't exactly give all the info you need. I may just print out his PCB on some transfer paper and etch my own board because It will be cheaper. But I REALLY want to use this Transfer Pak. At least I could use the connector for either design.

I looked at them side by side, when I made that comment. I liked your pcb, thought it was neater, and the transfer pack is good feng shui. The controller connector makes nice kickstand. Building your own stuff and having it work is really one of the top feelings. I understand the decision on not selling or making a bunch of these. Apeshit said it himself, the design has been floating for awhile... The transfer pak pcb looks kinda similar. How off would you say it is from the programmer, off hand?

Shoot me if I'm wrong. But if the connector just forwards every byte of info that comes from the user port, can't you just write a program to capture that data and say, use the adapter as a virtual gameboy printer to send te pictures to?
I've got no idea and technical know how to say if this works or not, but it sounds logical to me tongue
Can anyone confirm / deny?

I like this idea too, I still need one of those, messing around in nanoloop alot lately. This has been a thread of good ideas and revalations,   I am psyched that my weekend is hear, and I have got a good shopping list going now.

I'm pretty sure these are two very different things.

They are different, but still relevant. I was thinking scour the pak guts and see if there is enough to stand alone and replace the controller connector with something more practical. Wishful thinking, if the only good part is the cart connector, but that's still something.
Thanks for posting the pcb Justin, looks like a real beaut, more streamlined when compared to the Ziegler design. Makes me wanna build one ever harder.

Mike, the programs you put together, still mind blowing, and I'm still going to try them out when I get the necessities for it. If it works virtually, it would simplify the hell outta of camera dumping if you can't find a transferer, or go through the gbc to mmc to usb method. I can't get those .sav files moved around fast enough.

Shit, anybody ever dump an mmc or a genius boy?

What! I'm mentally syncing on stuff everybody is working on lately... Now the cat is outta the bag, keep me posted. That is too good. You got any tranfer pak gut shots? Have trouble finding shots of that. It's funny that this is such head slappingly obvious idea. I'm glad you guys already though of it, from two different ends.

zerolanding: never got your email, what address did you use?

Thanks for responding here, I must have typed the email wrong. I think I got all the answers from my email faster, and with more followups questions than I could comprehend. Just awesome, still. EDIT: I'm just bummed the hardware from nintendo is so dicey, could have been a very practical solution for flashing. I'll pick one up anyway, the guts should have some useful things for at least making a flasher.

So I was working and I thought, wouldn't it be keen if you could use the Transfer Pak as a programmer? Cheaper than a transfer II, easier than building. Connector is in there, it had to do something with those pokemon. Came home and did a little google found this site http://lacklustre.net/n64/ There is already a Rom and Sram dumper, and work is being done to run the pak with an emulator. This is awesome for non-usb carts. So I wrote an e-mail asking for more details, waiting for a reply.

As much awesome as having a new cartridge programmer/dumper would be( I would pre-order), what's being used to flash them now?
