How To: Gameboy Camera Dump on Mac

(this write up is aimed toward Mac users who are not running Windows)
(tutorial on using the Mac OSX flasher to get your save file can be found here)

After discovering the Mac OS X flasher existed, I was pumped to not have to boot Windows on my mac anymore. BUT I still needed a means of dumping my camera. So after some gnarly internet digging, I came upon the "gameboy camera .sav to gif animation converter" by http://gieskes.nl 

So all you do is upload your GBcam .sav file (which you read with a programmer using the mac flasher software) Then you will go to this URL http://gieskes.nl/gameboy-camera/sav-converter/ where you can upload your .sav file and choose your setting (setting are pretty self explanatory)



Once you get your animated gif, you can then drag it to your desktop. Now you can open your .gif of all your images in the mac app "Preview"



What "Preview" does it break down your animation into individual images, which you can pick and choose (just drag and drop). You have now successfully "dumped" your cam 100% on a Mac...  ENJOY!

  3. Thanks 4 the info!!! Works fine on Windows, too. (For all of you who were wondering if it works ;) )
    Anyone knows about the problem, that the saved .sav files contain corrupt images? I tried to fixed it by using a battery instead of an D/C Converter but I still get them bothering white lines in the Pictures :(
    Never the less: Thank you very much for the link...
