I have played with the software and the regular Jose carts for a while, and this is nice and handy if you only plan to use one cart.

Price: $75 + 4% Paypal Fee

$2 USB Mini-B Cable
The main feature of this cartridge is a built-in USB programmer. With this extra circuitry an external “transferer” is not required. Using custom software reading and writing new ROMs and SAVs could never have been easier. With Windows and Linux compatibility and OSX software soon to be released, this is the most versitile back up solution for Game Boy musicians and developers to have ever been produced.

Will work with Mega Memory Cartridge.
Why only for those who want “one cart”?
Because you don’t need to get a USB writer to write the software.. and thats less useful if you only plan to get one cart
its a cloudy concept. but I stand by it.
So, if I just buy this cart I don’t need a tranferer? And I understand what Peter is saying about one cart. You just need one, it’s easier to backup and you will only need another one to play with two game boys.
Correct, you do not need a transferrer.
I guess it is usefull, so I can backup songs to my laptop. My laptop doesn’t have a paralell interface. Won’t be needing one though, because I am perfectly fine with my Transferer II :)
Are these still for sale? i’ve just discovered the world of chip music and am hoping i can load LSDJ to this.
Nope!
