New toy. I bought an Epilogue GB Operator. It reads Gameboy and GBA games and save files from a cart, let&#39;s me play on Windows or Linux, then save my progress back to the cart. It can also apply colour to original Gameboy games, rewind time, upscale the image, etc. Took a little effort to get it working properly on Linux (what doesn&#39;t) but it seems pretty good on the first evening. Plus if you have fake knock off carts you can write homebrew games to them. Maybe some day I will finish developing a GB game and do just that.

@benbradley@hachyderm.io I covet my retrode which has a GB attachment for this same reason, but the features on this thing sounds awesome. Got a link to them?

@benbradley@hachyderm.io This is such an impressive device. I love the fact that you can plug it into your phone for detecting bootleg cartridges at a convention and such. Quite a robust and useful tool.
