Gameboy Cartridge Dumper - Listener

This is code to run on a Raspberry Pi to connect to a Gameboy via a link cable breakout board and wait for data from the cart-dumper ROM.

TODO

• Get GPIO code working on the gameboy
• Add non-blocking ncurses escape to endless loop so file could be written outside
• Parse inbound cart header data to show the ROM details
• Do checksum in the header to see if we got malformed data
• Implement some form of data redundancy
  • Get bytes multiple times, respond with an outbound byte if they all match?
  • Hamming codes

To Build

Have WiringPi installed on your Raspberry Pi, ncurses, gcc and make. Then just run make in this folder.

To Use

• Start the Gameboy running the cart-dumper ROM
• Connect it to the gameboy with a breakout board connected to pins 29-39
  • 
• Start the listener on the Raspberry Pi
• Perform a dump following instructions for the ROM
• When the dump is complete press Escape in the listener terminal window
