WriteBoy is an Arduino based ROM image writer for GB Memory Cartridge.
- Arduino IDE
- Python 3.x and pyserial
- Arduino Mega 2560 R3
- GB Memory Cartridge (DMG-MMSA-JPN)
Assume that Arduino is connected to COM3.
- Prepare a ROM image (.gb) and MAP file (.map) - using GB Memory Binary Maker would be nice
- Write a MAP to GBMC by followng command:
python writeboy.py --port COM3 --write-gbmc-mapping filename.map - Write a ROM image to GBMC by followng command:
python writeboy.py --port COM3 --write-gbmc-rom filename.gb
- SRAM Read/write
- ROM dump
See python writeboy.py --help.
