I am on a mission to get these damn gameboy camera photos off of the sram and onto my hard drive. Mind you, I don't own a MegaMemoryCard, Cart reader, or Mad Catz camera cable or this process would be so much simpler.

So my only viable option to build my own cable based off whatever schematics on numerous outdated foreign websites. I do have male 25 pin serial port adapter, a spliced DMG EXT cord, several 2N3906 transistors, and a dedicated 98 machine running to test this out on.

Schematic:

Site that has some good info: http://emuconsoleexploitnews.blogspot.c … -post.html
Site that has actual picture of wiring: http://translate.googleusercontent.com/ … #eric_pict

I'm a bit confused as to the wiring process when the transistors gets involved. (Also do I need a diode?)
The transistor has 3 pins.
Pin1: Emitter
Pin2: Base
Pin3: Collector

These pin definitions mean absolutely nothing to me.

As for the software I've been using gbcam2.

Has anyone had any experience building one of these cords?

Fuuuuck I really need to visit my parents. hmm

What's the Mega Memory Card method to get them transferred?

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.

To get GB camera pictures off with a mega memory card you first have to copy your GB camera save to your mega memory card. Then you copy the save from the mega memory card to an ems USB flash cart or similar cart. From there you copy your save from your flash cart to your computer. With an Ems cart you use the same software you use to upload Roms to your cart. After you have your save on your computer you then use a program called GBCameraDump to export and save your pictures.

Hope this makes sense and helps!
