Amazing Cart Flasher!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

I love this flasher. It's a piece of hardware that's straight forward and easy to learn and use. Software downloads and works seamlessly with the flasher. Games can be converted to ROMs easily. I've already emulated a good amount of games with the flasher. In combination with the flash cart, non-licensed programs can be flashed onto a cart for play on the gameboy, LSDJ is a great and ideal ROM to port into the cart, for you chiptune fanatics out there! Excellent piece of hardware!

Best way to keep GB Camera pictures backed up!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

I've been after a way to back up Game Boy Camera pictures for a very long time, and this little tool has answered all my prayers! It's fast and easy to set up, and the recommended software does exactly as it says on the tin! I can easily backup the SRAM on my GB Cameras, and convert them to images with tools online! It's also been great for dumping not only save files from my carts, but also the ROMs for emulator use!

Definitely recommended for any serious GB Camera users!

Excellet cart flasher!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

Nice flasher for GB, at a very good price. If you are thinking about making backups of your saves or games, this is what you need.

Fantastic

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

The the device works perfectly and the software is easy to use.
At first I had some trouble writing to my flash card but I just didn't know you had to clear the card before writing something new to it.
The 3D printed case is of good quality and is a very nice addition.
Overall, I'm incredibly happy with my purchase.

Thanks a lot!!

Great device - satisfied

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

Can backup and rewrite save files and also can backup roms from the original cartridges. Brilliant backup device, thanks.

Guillaume | Nov. 7, 2017

Great Device

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

I just receive the Cart Flasher for GameBoy. You just need a USB link and here you go, you can save up your old game !
No more battery issues !

Super simple to use and well built!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

The build quality is strong and it features a great compact and sturdy case - at a reasonable price. Shipping was fairly fast and software worked well with the flasher - backing up game save files and transferring them was fast, intuitive, and easy. (Note: Pokemon Gold and Silver save files need to be re-sized to 32 kb by deleting 2-3 lines on HxD) Would definitely recommend for individuals looking to flash saves as well as rom files.

Roy | Oct. 28, 2017

A great and easy to use product

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

The Gameboy Cart Flasher is a great and easy to use product for flashing your GBC cartridges and coping your data from your cartridge to your pc. This way you can continue playing your game on an emulator or vice versa. While the shipment was unfortunately delayed by a few days, the delivery was still delivered within a week.

Michael | Oct. 27, 2017

Perfect!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

What a perfect product!!!!

Hardware:
The flasher with case looks reasonably rugged.
The cartport is a perfect fit without any wobble. Same with the USB-Port.
Really suprised - keep up the good work!

Software:
Ripped the ROMs of my Pokémon games and backed up all save files from about 12 carts without a problem!
Could also write back save files from my emulators!
Only downside is you manually have to select the ROM and RAM size after reading it out.
But this is a 2 second job :)

THANK YOU FOR THIS PERFECT PRODUCT AND SERVICE!

Very good!

For Flash Cartridge ROM 2MB @ FRAM 32KB for GameBoy

Very high quality built, neat color, works fine with the Cart Flasher. Compatibility appears to be perfect as far as tested.

The FRAM non-volatile save chip finally eliminates the reliance on batteries as ticking timebombs of someday losing save files. Unfortunately with this, also comes a drawback: the cartridge has no realtime clock.

Florin | Oct. 23, 2017

Fully functional, requires some understanding of quirks

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

The build quality is very good and with a case it looks nice. It plugs straight into the PC and the cartridges can be swapped whenever it isn't doing something.

The software isn't as intuitive. You have to erase the ROM before writing the new one, and manually set size for both the ROM and save you write but also the ones you read.

Unfortunately it will not always read ROM and save size correctly. An example I tried was Super Mario Land 2 which was seen as 512KB and after dumping, blackscreened. A dump of 1024 worked fine. Another was with a save file exactly 32768 bytes in size which is 32KB but the flashing software reported a "size error" despite the size being set to 32KB. Unchecking the size check, it flashed successfully, the tool reporting that it was 33KB in size.

Works perfect, best GB dumper ever.

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

This is the best GB dumper in the market and the most modern. Works perfect with the drivers and the app provided. Save files and backup cartridges are dumped perfect.

Finally, I can extract photos from GameBoy Camera.

Thanks a lot! :D

Dimitrios | Sept. 11, 2017

great product

For Flash Memory Adapter for some Game Boy Cartridges

I do recommend this adapter. If you know the basics of soldering and you have the tools, its an easy and quick way to make a homebrew cartridge.

Filip | July 18, 2017

Works greats

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

This is very simple to use. Able to backup GameBoy and GameBoy Color game saves + roms without issues.

Isaac | July 12, 2017

Great

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

Works great exactly as described. With a good price like this it is definitely worth it. there aren't many tools like this out there and this is a great option

Cristina | July 5, 2017

Really helpful and well designed

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

I've been searching for ages for some kind of device which allows me to backup my Pokemon saves, so I could change the batteries without losing them. Well, this small cart flasher was the solution Heavens sent me! It works perfectly both reading and writing the ram of the cartridge (didn't try the other features, but I'm pretty sure they work nice), and though I'm usually quite hopeless with all this drivers stuff I got it working in no time. My thanks to the designer, who was really nice and comunicative. I recommend this product if you want to keep your Game Boy saves safe and sound.

Holly | July 3, 2017

Great little piece of hardware!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

I was lucky enough to get the last cart flasher of the last batch before it was sold out, and this little guy is well worth the price I paid! Initially had a bit of a problem with the drivers (although that might have been down to user error on my behalf), but after that the flasher was very easy to use. I've used it to dump photos from my Game Boy Camera, and to dump a couple of save files. The build quality is great (and I must say it's a gorgeous colour blue), and I would happily recommend this!

Sebastien | June 30, 2017

Worked perfectly and is remarkably well designed!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

I have been searching for a product to backup my old Pokemon saves for a long time now and after finding this project and looking at reviews and guides on how to use it, I just had to have it. The device came nicely wrapped in bubble wrap and in a parcel satchel. I followed a guide I found on YouTube "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyhFiYv5RrA" (the program is very straight forward but I didn't want to accidentally do something stupid like delete my save data and you might have to clean your cartridge contacts with rubbing alcohol if your game isn't recognised which the video pointed out) and was able to successfully backup all my save files to my PC.

One improvement I would recommend (if possible) is to enable the device to function with Gameboy Advance cartridges. I don't know if this can be done retroactively to existing models as the hardware itself may have to be modified but it could be an issue with the software as the program is old and was designed by other people so it might require someone to modify the existing program or develop a new one.

Besides that suggestion, the device performs exactly as it is describes and is a must have for anyone wanting to preserve their gameboy saves forever!

Giacomo | June 29, 2017

Must have

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

Long time i was looking for stock back this item, finally i've got it and i dumped part of my adolescence. No words thanks this. And almost priceless. Thank you a lot!

Hylke | June 9, 2017

Good product!

For Flash Memory Adapter for some Game Boy Cartridges

It is not easy to desolder the read-only ROM and solder the adapter, you definitely need some experience soldering. But if you are handy and/or like a challenge you can make yourself a cheap DIY flash cart.
It's a good product, the adapter makes it a lot easier to make your own flash cart. Also the documentation and assembly guide are very good.

Eric | May 30, 2017

Works like a charm

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

As a Pokemon player since the early days, the thought of losing my complete save files has been a sort of looming dismay. This product is exactly what I always wanted - a single-item tool to back up save files and restore them when the battery was replaced. I haven't had any need to test the other features such as cart flashing, but I can say that for my needs the quality of the hardware and software are perfect. Hats off to the designer!

Ray | May 29, 2017

Perfect

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

Fantastic product! Works perfectly. Thanks very much! It took me a few attempts to get used to the software, however the whole product is extremely convenient.

Grant | May 24, 2017

This thing is great!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

Other than having a few issues with trying to read some of my homebrew carts (could be due to some form of protection, who knows), this cart reader works really really well!

Top notch build quality, well worth the money for sure!

Rowan | May 24, 2017

Works Great!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

I was able to get the ROMs off my cartridges and place them in my retropie build with ease, thank you!

Ibrahim | May 19, 2017

Great product!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

Used it to dump pictures from my Gameboy Camera! The flasher tool crashes on my Windows 10 machine, but worked great in an XP virtual machine. Shipping to California took two weeks.

Seems to be a genuine FTDI232RL

For FTDI Breakout USB to UART/Serial (Genuine FT232RL)

Seems to be a genuine FTDI232RL since I was able to program it using FTDI FT_Prog to invert the signal lines.
Soldering and registration appear to be good.
Arrived in 9 days (Spain to Boston).

Adam | May 5, 2017

Top Notch Customer Service

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

The product is great! The customer service might be even better! This guy will help you figure everything out if you have questions and don't know anything about this sort of stuff (like me). I would highly recommend this product!

Perfect in every way

The product works great, the documentation is a bit hard to understand but i think that's just me.

Works exactly as advertised

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

Item arrives quickly considering it shipped from Spain to the US. It backs up saves from GBA and GBC cartridges, and lets you write new ones. This is a one-of-a-kind product for a very reasonable price.

Grant | March 11, 2017

Does what it says on the box

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

Good build quality, good design.

Utility software failed to compile on a modern Linux distro (not really an issue since the source is available, but the Windows binary worked fine.

Andrew | March 7, 2017

Excellent product!

For Cart Flasher for GameBoy

I ordered this product to backup my Pokemon Red Version. If you're reading this and are on the fence, just make the purchase. It worked perfectly without and issues. Completely worth it.
