gbcamera

A simple script to dump Game Boy Camera pictures from a save file.

Usage

Python 3 and Pillow need to be installed.

The save file must have a .sav extension and be exactly 128KiB.

$ python3 gbcam_dump.py -h
usage: gbcam_dump.py [-h] [--format FORMAT]
                     [--pal {classic,red,inverted,pastel_mix,dark_blue,blue,orange,dark_green,yellow,brown,grayscale,dark_brown,green}]
                     file out_dir

  --format FORMAT       Output format (defaults to png)
