get another game jack and copy from game jack to game jack until the game corrupts

I actually own a Game Jack that I got back in the day when the Game Boy was still popular, so I can probably answer a few questions: - This copier was made by UFO and sold mostly in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. I don't know how rare the Japanese varient is, but I think the Chinese version is more common(?). I own several UFO products. - I can see your missing the software CD which is used for connecting your Game Jack via parallel port to your PC. You would need a streight-through parallel cable to use it. - The game cards go up to 64Mbits. I know, because I own several 64Mbit cards with built in rumble feature. - Not only can you copy larger games with a bigger card, but you can also use a ROM header/BIOS to load multiple games on a single card and access them via a menu system. You would need to connect the base unit to your PC in order to create a multi-game ROM image. - This isn't the only system that can duplicate game cartridges without a PC! I also own a Touch Boy copier from Hachi Shi Co, and it looks like a Game Genie, except the extra cartridge slot on the back is used for duplicating games directly with your Game Boy system. It has 32Mbits internally and can store a maximum of 4 games at a single time. So with this card, you don't even need a docking station.

ahh the Gamebomination Advance, the ideal testing console.

This would be useful when swapping out save batteries in older games, as a way of backup up your save file.

“The game boy SP advance isn’t real, it’s not able to hurt you.” The game boy SP advance:

Im incredibly impressed with just the speed of it! it copies them like nothing

This is actually pretty fire. Imagining an alternate reality where blank GBA/GB cartridges were sold for "backups"

Interesting item, good find Elliot :-)

I had one of these and used it for homebrew development almost 20 years ago! I remember making a clone of Space Invaders called "Space Evaders". The port is actually a parallel port.

4:15 “look at that, it’s bloody robo cop innit?” 😭 🇬🇧

I believe it's megabits, not megabytes. 16 Megabytes would have been an absolutely massive amount of flash storage for the early-mid 90s. Even 4 megabytes was quite a lot of flash storage. I think the largest gameboy ROM sizes were around 8 megabits, which is one megabyte.

This is interesting, I actually own one of these that I got in a Japanese game lot years ago and never knew what it was for. I've tried to look up information and it was hard to find anything, so it's great to learn a bit more. I have the version with the 4MB card

I just repaired my first broken Gameboy that I bought from eBay! Thank you for all the help in your videos

These were advertised in the states in I believe it was EGM, but it was never released. Although another accessory that was advertised was released for a brief moment...Bleem!...which I still actually own my PC copy & the 4 they made for Dreamcast

7:01 when you’re waiting for the food in the microwave

As a kid, this thing would have been killer to copy games so I could easily do link cable play with buddies!

Damn that would have been super useful when I was younger, my cousin would get all the good GB games before me.

The GB camera might "work" with a big enough cartridge. From the point of view of the GB, the cartridge is always just storage. Special cartridge will expose dynamic data at specific addresses. It is possible that the cartridge would show a static image of what the camera was seeing when copying the cartridge.

"it's bloody Robocop, innit?" is the most British thing I have heard in years. Thank you for that. It made me happy all day.

I remember this thing. Even back when they were still selling it I wondered why anyone would buy it over the Bung GB Xchanger with Doctor GB Card flash cart... which is the system I bought. I still have it but I loaned the 64meg Doctor GB Card v2 to a friend and his dad smashed it with a hammer. D: Yeah, his parents were separated and he was leaving for the weekend to spend time with his father. I loaded it up with a bunch of games including Pokemon Crystal, which was still Japanese-only at the time. It blew his mind! He probably thought that weekend was his only chance to play Crystal so I'm guessing that his father couldn't tear him away from the Game Boy... so he smashed it. I recently found it in a pile of stuff and realized that it still works if you press down the flash ROM chip. I reflow this stuff all the time so expect a repair video soon. :) In the years since I got a Bung Multi Xchanger for the PSX and a Bung Doctor V64jr 512, which works with the Doctor GB Card as part of the "Multi Game Doctor³" (MGD³) series of backup hardware. It lets me use the PlayStation as a CD-ROM drive for the N64! I'm still not sure if I can load games from the GB Card to the V64jr through a PlayStation, but it has the connections to make that possible.

2:17 Correction - Megabit (Mb) and not Megabyte (MB) as mentioned here.

Gosh I love your channel Elliot! Such wonderful gaming stuff! I also love the banter you're developing! It's so good! You're becoming a younger Ashens it seems with the sarcasm and wit, and I mean that in the best possible way. All you need now is a brown sofa

If anyone is interested in a modern version of this check out the "GBxCart RW". It lets you backup and write ROMs to GB thru GBA. :) (saves and GB Camera pics too!) You will have to source a writable cartridge tho. I just use crappy reproduction carts of pokemon lol.

funny how i subbed to you channel long time ago, but only recenlty i binge on it. lol I love everything GB nostalgia related :P

That is a cool bit of kit mate, very cool video

I like the GameJack! :D I can't wait to have it someday! Also, Charlie sure killed it on their role!

It should say "Get JACKED!" on the box

Awesome. I like how they've even for vent holes in for the voltage regulator. The PC connections is mostly likely to the parallel port.

This is the sort of stuff that makes me love this channel.

Thanks for the content Elliot, keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the warning ur earlier video I've been waiting for it! Thanks keep up the great content I love it and I'm addicted to your videos and content!

I admire you bro! Keep up the good work

I have this package of stuff as well as the 16M cart with rumble. Super cool back when it came out - I actually held on to a PC with a parallel port for longer than I should have just because of this gadget.

I had something similar, and I loved it. I remember playing the Zelda games over a very long road trip with the family. One legitimate use that I used mine for was to keep more than one game on a cart with a little menu. I would dump all my games to my PC, and then I would load the games that I wanted to play onto it. It was handy for that since I only had to have one cartridge for my favorite games.

Good times, love your enthusiasm about all the oddities in the Gameboy world

Cool Video! You should call the gameboy you made "Gameboy Advance XL"

This item is perfect for those who want to preserve their save states and not to worry about the internal battery of the cartridge! Great video!

That's actually a really powerful device. Imagine doing this on switch.

funny enough some guy called Elliot Coll just uploaded a video a few hours ago saying he brought one of these!

LMAO "it's my save" *literal beginning* 😂😂 I love it

Man, I do miss the old KZfaq intro. Although I've got quite acustomed with this new one, the old one does spark me joy.

cool way of saying a rom dump lol i've dumped loads of my friend's games

I have a idea Elliot Make a 3ds that only plays Ds games without the d pad but the circle pad with the top screen smaller

Really like your videos!

Nice, I don't use a gameboy much lately, but I definitely see the use for it. My 6-8 years self would had loved it.

From what I remember, the Game Boy Camera ROM looks for a specific connection within the cartridge to detect the camera when it boots - if it can't find that, the ROM won't boot up. I saw somebody once manage to remove the camera from the GB Cam cart and bridge a connection to trick it into thinking the camera was still there, but that was the only way it would work!

I'd love to see another video where you would test other games, like fangames, counterfeit games, Pokemon Gold or Silver with their clock system (if it works, it would have been the best way to clone mons!), and of course your own Retro Future Fangame!

I couldn't help but chuckle when you went to try and put tetris in on the bottom cause the gba sp screen on your doohickey triggered your muscle memory 😂

"It's bloody robocop innit" love that 😂

I remember wanting one of these so bad back in the day. Those parallel ports haunt me though, I can never get anything to work with them these days🤣

Always cool to see weird (unusual) stuff :D greetings from Poland

An OG version of the GBXCart. Nice!

Wow, what a nifty thing! Wish I had one of these back in the day.

Imagine using this for Pokemon. This would have been great to have for any multiplayer games that you only had one of.

A modern version of the GameJack is the GB01 Game Boy Cartridge Reader. Though it lacks the 4MB flashcart, it supports GBA games as well as GB and GBC. Mine has been invaluable in backing up my Pokémon saves.

Thanks Elliot. Great Video. Its a parallel port, you can get parallel to usb adapter if you can not find a computer with one built in. Those are kinda wonky sometimes though

I love ur vids Elliot plz post regularly and review the Gamebox m3

There's some german dude on ebay who's selling it right now on ebay with a 64MB flashcart that also has a rumble function apparently. That just looks phenomenal.

Honestly GBA Pro, or GBA+ would be a good name for the custom GBA. It is the ideal GBA after all.

Translucent plastic is my favourite retro 90s look, I want this just for that, let alone the real use

This would be perfect if you could store multiple games on that cartridge. You could just copy loads of games from friends or lent from a library/Blockbuster.

Was waiting for this from ur 2nd channel

Man i haven't seen one of these in ages lol. I remember when pretty much everyone back in the day had to use some variant of those carts for lsdj before the popular options we have now.

This is awesome! Also, that's a parallel port.

For reference, Links Awakening's rom size is roughly 300KB. I'm assuming this is 4MBits, not 4MB, because 4 Megabytes would be ludicrous for 99% of the Gameboy library. Still, 4MBits/500KB is still plenty sizable enough to rip most Gameboy games.

Team Rocket's anime scheme to steal pokemons during trade must've gotten the idea from Gameboy Jack!

I would have loved that device back in the day! Very cool device!

That would be awesome to have back in the day!

I really love your videos

6:19 The cartridges actually swapped places! :D

... how was this thing allowed to be sold lmao

You remind me of what I coulda been like with electrical engineering and stuff but then I dropped out and went to the oil rigs love you 1996

you can mod those flash carts, inside that 4 meg card on the board is a socketed flash chip pop it out and put a bigger chip in, even if yours is a soldered one putting a bigger chip on is well worth it. an older channel(retro game tech) actually built one, he bought a load of chips and put a window on the cart, so you could just change the chip to swap the game.

Brilliant video. It's it me or is your on air sign bulb gone on the R?

you should try to overwrite an official cart

Woah! So cool! I wish I had one!!

This was so ahead of its time

Your an amazing youtuber and my favorite Nintendo youtuber

With how tiny Gameboy roms are, it's not a surprise that a 4MB card stores them with no issues; I could also see a battery in there for saving.

"Go to your mates house, and make a copy of his BRAND NEW game" 🤣

5:06 Tetris for Jeff

u was king in the 90es with this xd

These are awesome for collectors who don't want to take out their expensive cartridges

Damn it, now I need one of these as well.

I could totally use one of these, specifically for backing up saves

"Bloody Robocop innit?" I reckon there, buddy

2:00 That's a DB-25 Parallel Port, these used to be pretty common in the 90s for all sorts of peripherals.

great video, I seriously wish I had one of these and a few carts growing up. My parents couldn't afford two of each game me and my brother got so it would've been nice to use this for a few of the games that we both used to play often. I would have no problem playing my zelda on that thing and giving my little bro the real cart to play with. No way I'm putting my pokemon on there tho lol.

EZ-Flash Jr is the better buy because I just got one and love it. great video as always.

This is an amazing find.

You need some "definitely not licensed by Nintendo" merch.

Pretty cool actually, nice video too

I always wanted one of these!

Translucent doesn't even mean invisible… it means semi-transparent.

scariest thing ever robocop on gamejack that scared me for years

Hi Elliot! Awesome device! Maybe if you publish some high quality pictures of the cartridge board, we are able to reverse engineer the cartridge pcb and make our own...

Thank you Kanye, very cool

If we had access to this when GB's were first coming out ... ohhhh boy would it have been amazing

4:07 You can't just pull that guy out of nowhere and not expect everyone who's watching to die from sudden shock.

I have to say, you have reignited the flame inside of me to collect gameboys, accessories or even other old retro items. I started wayyyyyy before I found the channel, and as someone who was born just before the GBAs release.. I missed out on a lot of old tech. I started collecting bits n bobs when I was given my uncles Gameboy Pocket (which strangely enough, we found the battery cover in a completely different house. I eventually stopped trying to collect games and consoles after finding out how much I was spending per product... Amazon really wasn't the smartest of options. When I first found your channel I got into the mood to retry collecting consoles, games etc. After advertising Sendico (about a million times ;P) I had to check it out for myself and its wonderful. I've just ordered 6 or 7 products about an hour ago and I'm already hyped for it. Thanks for you content and everything you have done! Keep it up! (Apologies for the really long comment :D)
