Comment 1: This is the only commercially available GameBoy programmable
cartridge that I know of (old info - ed.). It contains 4 MegaBits of storage
capacity and has software to store up to 4 different programs in this
storage space. I unit I purchased was made by China Coach Limited. When
it originally arrived, it came with out a power supply and software. There
were two pieces. A base unit that connects to a PC parallel port, and
the programmable cartridge that actually is used with the GameBoy. There
was also a message that they were out of software diskettes and they would
email me the software. When I finally received the software several hours
later, the first thing I noticed was that the software said, 'Printer
Port Error!' I wasn't sure if this was because I had a 100MHz Pentium
or not. I tried the unit on every x86 Intel chip about ever made so I
was further confused. On a brighter note, I could tell by looking at the
software that a tremendous amount of time and effort was put into it so
I was pretty darn sure that this was not a 'bogus' product, but that something
simple was probably the source of my problems. I was talking to someone
that told me that early versions of the software are very timing sensitive
and that he had a later version of one of the pieces of software if I
wanted it. I immediately requested this and he sent it pronto. This seems
to have cured the problem of reading the Smart Card so I feel much better
already. Please note that when reading 'snapshots' from your computer
that they MUST be in the form of 'GB*.GB' (For example 'gbtetris.gb'.)
You will get a 'File Format error!' if you don't. I now have what I believe
to be the latest version
