  • nanoloop USB-adaptor appeared

    nanoloop USB-adaptor appeared

    This adaptor connects a Game Boy with a PC via link cable and USB port. It allows to update nanoloop 2.x (2.2 or higher) carts and to backup/restore data from/to nanoloop 2.5.

    The adaptor is a bare PCB, shaped to fit into a link cable’s plug and a USB port. Electronic parts are coated with a shrink tube.

    Oliver also mentioned on 8bc that “the nanoloop USB adaptor (www.nanoloop.com/usb) will also be available with a MIDI-firmware which does exactly the same (appear as MIDI device, sync Game Boy to PC). for about $10.”

    Requirements

    – a Game Boy Advance (DS doesn’t work due to lack of link port)
    – a link cable (any Nintendo or 3rd party model will do)
    – a PC with Windows

    via nanoloop USB-adaptor.
