Homebrew mGBA Game Boy Camera?

[LeoIeiri]

Hi I see in diferent webs and one post on twitter to use game boy camera in this emulator

My question is how I can use this camera? I need a special rom or what is the process?

Thx in advance

Literally what I was wondering, the only thing I ever hear is that its possible but no info on how it's done. I'd like to know also

very likely you just have to launch the gb camera rom like a normal rom
probably the emulator has a setting to enable the camera functions (like in desmume you can select cartridge type and even emulate flashcarts!)
there is also a change this function is only available in "dev" or "alpha" builds.. and not in the normal release yet.

You need to install that build of mGBA, then run the Game Boy Camera ROM.
It will automatically work. You can choose between inner and outer cameras in the settings.

That would make sense since the gameboy camera was a cartridge, with the camera built into it. Thanks for the info

It works fine for me. This may sound stupid, but does your camera work?
Maybe you need more light.

My 3DS camera works nicely. My Game Boy Camera rom camera on my 2DS, not at all.

Gameboy printer emulator, anyone?

Blimey, proper Game Boy Camera emulation after all these years?
Man oh man what a throwback, since my old Game Boy Camera doesn't work any more this was a boon.

Cool pictures! Coincidentally, I just ordered the 8Bitdo SFC30 Gamepad a bit ago and it's arriving Friday. How close does it feel to a SNES controller? Do you like it?

It feels really, really close to the original SNES pad and plays like a charm with my Switch. Easily the best way to play d-pad centric games like Sonic Mania, Mighty Gunvolt Burst, Puyo Puyo Tetris, etc.
I get a noticeable latency issue if I use it bluetooth with my PC or Android devices, but a wired connection solves the problem on PC.

like what @RupeeClock says but if you want something like a mix of NES/and modern Gamepad the NES30 Pro isnt that bad just games you normally feel comfortable using a PS3 gamepad or X360 on yoru PC your going to have adjust as L2 and R2 are on teh outter edges at the top with L1/R1 in the inner sides by the USB Charge/Data port. for flat out SNES Emulation i stick w/ an SFC30 mself and everything else i use my trusty NES30Pro

(you can see what i mean here about the layout of the L and R 1&2 buttons. and yes teh analog sticks do press in for L3/R3)

There's also the SFC30 Pro coming out soon, which will even feature motion sensors and rumble.

Since it has ZL/ZR, home/capture buttons, dual analogues, gyro and rumble, it can serve as a fully-features Pro Controller replacement geared towards d-pad games.

Holy crap, looks like 8Bitdo will be squeezing even more money out of me.
That's awesome.
EDIT: damn, it's sexy too


Back on topic:
Has anybody tried this with Game Boy Camera Gold, the Zelda one?

Gameboy printer emulator, anyone?

most emulators actually emulate the gb printer
usually you just need to enable it and when you print something, the emulator stores the picture ready to see in your pc

Sorry to necrobump, but how do I even get this to run on my 3DS? Whenever I try to take a pic, all I see is a botched image. Nothing around me, as I aim my 3DS.

Launch FBI and select "scan QR code"
