Gameboy Flashcard

[AngeloftheNight091]

I am looking for a Flashcard that works with the original Gameboy DMG01. I haven't been successful in finding one.

What would you all recommend, and where can I find one?

Cheers

Pretty sure that there is an everdrive for The Gameboy.

@AngeloftheNight091 for making backups:
GB_Xchanger
for the cardridge, there's none as far as i know, you could just burn it to a eeprom and then replace it in any game cardridge.
as far as i know there's no copy protection.
@Technicmaster0 never have i seen any flashcards for the GB(C).
wait, i couldn't find that everdrive for GB(C)... forget it you mean the everdrive X#.
but i found this: DIY flashcard for the GB(C)

There are ever drive GB cards.
These diy GB flashcards are usually bullshit. They store 1 single ROM and you need to reflash the chip every time you change it.

There's the EverDrive (several versions of them depending on what your needs are - X3, X5, X7 with only the most expensive one having RTC IIRC), there's also the El Cheapo SD from Benn Venn which is cheaper and still has a good feature set: https://bennvenn.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/elcheaposd-v2-1

I used this device long time ago this flashcard. http://www.subport.org/gbc/hardware/pclinker/pclinker.htm
It was great solution because writing games to cart work due a cable, so you don't need a flasher decice, and no need to remove cart from console. When you sent many games a list was created. Hard to find now in any store, and device require parallel port.

Everdrive or El Cheapo for sure. Most other options are junk, or just too outdated to be of any actual use.

On Retro Towers (I've linked straight to the Gameboy section. UK site but ships worldwide) you'll find the 3 Everdrive variants, the Drag N' Derp and the GB USB Smart Card.

I've used the website a lot over the years and the service, pre and post purchase is great.

As for the cards, the Everdrive are certainly the best you can get, I use one myself. I've also got a GB USB Smart Card for one of my other Gameboys and it's a decent card for the price, though nowhere near as good as any Everdrive.
