Hello,
While waiting for HeartGold/SoulSilver to come out for the DS I played quite a bit of the original Pokemon Gold for Game Boy Color.
Now, pretty much everyone I know have had their battery dry out on these old games. I'm still pretty amazed that mine still saves perfectly fine after all these years.
It's been what, 10 years since I bought the game, and maybe 12 years since Pokemon Yellow. (which also still works!)
But some day, the batteries WILL die, so I wanted to make a backup of the save data before it's too late and put on my computer/nds so I can continue playing the games forever on emulators.
So what I'm looking for is a device which can connect to the game boy games and dump the save data through some cable. I've heard of some device which can dump both the ROM itself (which I don't care about) and also the save. It connected to the computer through the parallel cable and I believe it was called something like "Game Boy Transfer 2". But try googling that and all you'll ever find are Transfer Pak for the N64..
If you know where I can buy such a device today at a reasonable price which ships to Europe, please post here!
