Gameboy Adapter Solder kit is available now!

The Gameboy cartridge adapter let's you connect your favorite Gameboy and Gameboy Color games to Zeal 8-bit Computer, thanks to the extension port!

This board will let you dump the ROMs of your Gameboy cartridges as well as read or write the internal saves. Even though this board was meant to be used with Zeal 8-bit Computer, it can also be used with any 5V compatible MCU since the board embeds the logic glue to generate a Chip Enable signal for the cartridge internal ROM and RAM.
