From the project
GB-Dumper is a PCB project for Gameboy cartridge dumps and backups via Arduino Nano on spi-bus & USB
The GB-Dumper is a PCB project for Gameboy cartridge dumps/backups via Arduino Nano
& USB-connection with the SPI-Protocol, so you can read ROM and read / write to RAM.
The new configured software and custom PCB is compatible with +5V (mostly USB) Arduino Nano or similar.
