Gameboy Development Forum

Hello, everyone!

Yesterday I managed to take some screenshots the hard way, using a logic analyzer to sniff the data bus going to the Game Boy LCD. It has been done many a time before but was a fun challenge for me. I photographed and documented the process and wrote a little program that takes the exported data from Saleae's Logic Software to generates a screenshot.



In the picture above you can see a photograph of my Game Boy screen (to the left) compared with the final screenshot (to the right) constructed from the data I captured using my logic analyzer.

I hope this will help someone else like me, who are just getting started with the hardware side of Game Boy.
