In the project Alex created an Arduino sketch that was capable of dumping the ROM data from a GameBoy cartridge as well as being able to read and write the data from RAM. This inspired me to get my own Arduino with the aim of one day creating my own dumper for the Sega Megadrive system. Well today is that day!
Ok not exactly today but today is at least the start of it!
In case you can't remember the project here are all the relevant posts from his blog, consolidated into one handy list:
- Reading From an EEPROM (Consider this pre-reading, and read the guide he links to as well, it's really helpful)
- Part 1 - Read the ROM
- Part 2 - Read the RAM
- Part 3 - Write to RAM
- Project Summary
- Gameboy Cart Shield
- Emulating a Gameboy Cart (Consider this a bonus)
