GameBoy Blaster

Description

** OUT OF STOCK – NEXT BATCH MAY 2024 **

This little board is a one-stop-shop for the GameBoy or GameBoy Color handheld consoles. It uses a CPLD to recreate the Nintendo MBC5 mapper chip, which allows 99% compatibility with the entire GB/GBC game library**!

No soldering, no hassle! Simply pop the board into the RetroBlaster Programmer/Dumper with the GB/GBC/GBA adapter and write your game to it, and the RetroBlaster software will do the rest. It takes all the guess-work out of making your game playable on a real console!

The GameBoy Blaster comes with:

• 8MByte ROM space, to hold even the largest GB/GBC games and programs
• 128KByte SRAM so it supports games and programs like LSDJ (Little Sound DJ) that require 128KB of save RAM
• Battery + holder for easy replacement years later

Should work in any compatible console or peripheral, including the Super GameBoy or GameCube GB Player.

Brand new GameBoy cartridge shells are also available here.

Incompatibility

• Some games (like Super Mario Land 2) may need to be patched first, because they use features specific to other MBC mappers. Patch downloads for some games available here
• Does not support games that require a RTC (real-time clock) and may not work with Pokemon games
• Does not work with the N64 Transfer Pak – if you specifically need that functionality, use the GB Blaster Lite instead
