GBPB-GameBoy Prototyping Board
A development aid for the GameBoy
In previous editions we proved beyond doubt that the Nintendo GameBoy is perfectly suitable for more serious tasks than playing games. The sampling oscilloscope described in the October and November 2000 issues was a prime example. In the December 2000 issue, we published a follow-up article on GameBoy Development Tools. This month it’s time to offer help in the hardware department.In the December 2000 issue of Elektor Electronics we supplied pointers to a variety of GameBoy emulators that allow software for this extremely popular ‘games console’ to be tested on a PC. Emulators are fine tools for projects consisting of software only. However, the moment extra hardware has to be linked to the GameBoy, two problems occur: the connector for the (game) cartridge is a Nintendo proprietary design and to make matters worse it is hidden deep in the GameBoy case.
