Ok, I've made an exception this one time. I thought the rules you accept clearly specified that names are final, but clearly not. (This was the consensus when we created this site.) I've updated the sign-up rules so there should be no confusion in the future.

What you're suggesting won't be possible with a standard cable because it doesn't carry the +5V pin. You could modify a link cable on both sides so it carries +5V power from one side to the other. Or you could use a standard link cable and provide power to the ArduinoBoy from somwhere else, liek a battery, say.

Just for science, can you look into the battery cover hole and tell me which board revision this is? (This is printed on the circuit board and visible through the hole, e.g. DMG-CPU-06.)

Maybe this is exactly not what you're looking for but a pretty cool tune on a purely technical level (too.)

Handy tip: If you have a fat arduino, you can pop out the ATMega chip from that and just use it as a programmer with 4 wires.

Seems very DIY atm: http://www.retrode.org/plug-in-adapters/#n64gba
Plus, I'd imagine support for various flash carts would shaky. (By which I mean non-existent.)

I'm still waiting for my cart, but when it arrives I'm going to sit down and work on alternative methods for updating the cartridge, if you don't have a USB adapter. In particular, what I have planned is updates over link cable from a second Gameboy running any flash cartridge. (And just so no one misunderstands that. That doesn't mean Nanoloop will run on other cartridges. This is just for updates.)

I'm almost 100% sure that's not a serial port but a parallel port. And USB parallel port adapters don't work with these devices. Vista 64-bit (and maybe even 32-bit) will enforce driver signatures, so you probably won't be able to use the giveio.sys driver or similar. (There's also userport.sys is generally considered better for XP.)

One of the many things I should do, but probably never will, is to make a bootable USB distribution based on Windows 98, 2000 or XP which contains various Gameboy tools and similar you can use for these things without installing a different OS.

got emailed to say that the software on the cart is no good and i must use the usb adaptor to update the software when the cart arrives

is this true or just a way to sell more usb adaptors?????

Did you read the e-mail properly? If it's the same e-mail _-_- mentioned the e-mail actually said that the shipping was delayed because Oliver wanted to update all the carts before shipping.
