Thanks for your time and help! My first code for an Arduino. I wonder that there are no mistakes. I'm absolutely not sure about everything, including timing issues (also 9600 serial to USB conversion), CE, IRQ, INPUT, OUTPUT of the daisy chain, internal pull-up resistors, FTDI drivers and other stuf...

I have received my Gameboy slot and it looks like it's possible together with a 2nd one. I have to build a construction that will be stable for some time, especially the upper slot. Thats why the question about the dumping speed. I need it as fast and secure as possible. 1 minute or less would be gr...

According Brian pics pin 1 is on the front right and pin 31 on the back left.

If I would start from left, it would be S2. But on the backside it would either be NC or D2.

Thanks very much for now! It's a bit more clear now. I wait for my GBA slot and then maybe try it somehow. what BriPro called pins 16 and 48 Both pins are not connected on either revision. You mean 18 (CE) and 46 (s3) ? As OE is not known for sure, someone told me I could just use CE like Brian did.

I need 74hc595 shifting devices as most Arduinos don't have enough address lines. ST_CP =Storage register clock pin (SRCK). Most or all dumping projects use resistors like Ardumpino (Sega Genesis) and Cart readers for SNES and Gameboy. Some say it's optional but all use them. http://www.brunofreitas...

Although most Arduinos has 5V and 3.3V pins (internal or external voltage ?) the official specs don't recommend 3V. There are very few plain 3 V controllers. The Due (incompatible with other 5V Arduino hardware like shields, other problems and of course more expensive) and some tiny boards, most wit...

I don't give up easily, until someone's telling me that it's extremely difficult and the risk of damaging the carts is too high. But people say dumping is easy. And it must be possible with 5V like Brian did. You have to convert the voltage either way to get it to the PC. There are few 3V microcontr...

Thanks. I will upload PCB pics tomorrow. On the one hand cart specs must be the same to match the same hardware slot. On the other hand the whole thing is getting more and more complicated. Obviously I'm the first in the world figuring out the different cart revisions. I don't know if I should dare ...

I researched a bit more and almost ordered the dumping stuff. For the socket: Gameking, GB and GBA sockets seem to have the same contact distance. The Gameking cartridge is similar to the GB cart and the 30 pins seem to be at the same places as the 32 pins of the GB missing the outermost 2 pins. I n...

That sounds plausible. But he didn't remove his 2 other SourceForge projects, just this one. And he can always be found at archive.org, Wikipedia and elsewhere including this forum.
We can only speculate.

I found someone who gave a little more details (not much though) and some advice what I should buy and link to a similar project. I still have to study much more about that. And I'm not sure if I can handle all that in the near future. Probably I will order a (cheap) microcontroller . After having r...

Yes, my skills are limited although I did some microcontroller projects and emulating stuff including compiling and debugging some years ago. Few own projects though. Yes I have to learn and study more. But first I have to know what microcontroller I should buy to not buy the wrong stuff and waste t...

The slot is standard for Gameking and Game Theory Admiral. Or there is a larger slot but I have to check the right pin distance. Or I have to attach the wires somehow. I have checked some of the source codes of Ardumpino and found a different SNES project (based on Ardumpino and others, also referri...

That's one of the problems. Most dumping projects use an Arduina Mega which is expensive enough but it must work with boards with fewer ports by reading data in 2 parts (but needs additional electronics). There is a Sega Genesis project called Ardumpino including schematics and source code. Genesis ...

I don't have an oscilloscope.
