GameBoy advance is the newest generation of the GameBoy videogame series. It has the ability to run previous generation games as well as the newer high definition color games. There have been technologies that allow the user to connect to another GameBoy, using the GameBoy link cable, and play against each other in selected games. Other advances have allowed users to connect to a printer to print photos created using a specific game cartridge.

The technology concentrated in this project will be geared towards a link that can connect the GameBoy unit to a computer. In order to accomplish this, the connection will be made through the computer’s USB port directly to the GameBoy link port. The project will include the development of the cable as well as small programs. The main purpose of the project is to be able to save games onto the user’s PC and to be able to run games created through the PC on the GameBoy unit. This will alleviate the necessity for carrying around numerous game cartridges and will allow users to create their own games.
