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.

There was a device called Mega Memory which was inserted between your Gameboy and cartridge which could backup saves and restore them later. Great for avoiding save game loss. I bought mine from "Game" in the UK in around 1998, so they must have been commonly available at some point, but I've never seen them mentioned by anyone else. I bought another one recently, it was so useful! The saves are stored internally and there's no way to export them to PC, unfortunately.

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.

For example, in the United States at least, you *are* allowed to make backups of your media, but you're *not* allowed to break DRM. This is why basically every audio playing program in the 90's could advertise the ability to "convert your CDs into MP3s!", since CDs don't have DRM, but you rarely (if ever) saw any programs being sold in stores advertising the ability to rip DVDs, since DVDs use CSS DRM. If Game Boy games didn't have any DRM encryption on there, then it's not actually "illegal" to make a backup of your game, as long as you aren't distributing it to your friends, and as long as the company doesn't ever mention that you can use this thing for piracy.

It's why my Bung V64jr was changed to a two-tone shell and relabeled "E64 - Emulator 64." It's why my Doctor GB Xchanger was debranded with Doctor GB Card 64M renamed to "Mr. Flash." They were trying to get around Nintendo's successful import restrictions on these things.

You could also use it to play multiplayer, all the game boy games required each player to have a game. I never actually got to use my GBA 2-player, because none of my friends had any of the same games as me.

Imagine if the GameJack comes out in a brand new form to see if your homebrew games work on real hardware. (RHS reference)

This seems like a great idea for playing multiplayer games with friends that they don't have. Need another copy? Just clone your own.

It would be interesting to find a way to use this to copy a save file from an old Pokemon game that somehow has a working battery, slap it onto the 3DS VC versions of the game, and migrate your Charizard from 1998 to Sword/Shield.
@thecatherd3 жыл бұрын
That could probably be done with 3DS Homebrew assuming that the VC versions use raw .sav files like what this or an emulator would generate.

Someone actually did this! I dont remember the name of the video but i saw it on youtube a couple weeks ago

Is a working battery really that remarkable? All of my games still save fine but my Pokemon save got corrupted twice over the years. I believe I got my copy of Blue at Gamestop in 2005 or 2006. Did stores ever change the batteries on used games before reselling?

A cool thing I found out today if you put a Gameboy game in your advance, turn it on start pressing a b and the d-pad the startup screen will change colors
@eDoc20203 жыл бұрын
That was introduced with the GBC when you play old monochrome games. It changes the colors throughout the game, not just the startup screen. If you're interested, have you ever held down Z when turning on a GameCube?

If you have a Nintendo 64 with the Transfer Pak and an Everdrive 64 you can do everything this does apart from writing the blank cartridges.
