We’ve now added a variable called romBanks which you need to change to the ROM banks to the number your Gameboy cartridge has (remember do this by reading Cartridge header – ROM bank 0). We complete the following steps for MBC2; the only difference between the MBCs for ROM reading is what address you need to write to in order to switch banks, it’s a good idea to keep this link handy. Now let’s read the file called myrom.rom with a hex editor, the one I use is called HxD Hex Editor. If you scroll down just a tiny bit the data we’ll see is the cartridge header, can you see the game title?

We would then just re-read the same 16K address range and resident evil 3 gamecube downloads be presented with new 16K worth of data. MBC is the memory bank controller, it allows us switch ROM banks to read the game’s data from the ROM. Super Mario Bros DX also is another game that was revitalized by Nintendo from its impressive previous kind to a more spectacular form that suits the needs of the current generation of gamers. For instance, in the new form, Nintendo included extras to make sure that the game deserves its `deluxe’ tag.

The cartridge type is on 0147h and the ROM size is at 0148h also the RAM size is at 0149h. So now it’s time to test it out, go ahead and upload the downloaded “iG_GBCartRead_ROM_Bank_0.pde” file to your Arduino. Firstly download and install Python 3.2 and pySerial, then download my iG_GBCartRead_ROM_Only_v1.0 script. To explain my script in short, it opens the serial port, waits for the START command, converts the serial data received and writes it into a file called myrom.rom then stops once the END command is received. 32K bytes for a Gameboy game sometimes isn’t enough so what they were able to do is have multiple 16K ROM banks and have a chip to change the ROM bank if we requested it.
Were you using resistors on the address lines just to be safe? Let me know how it goes because I think in a few months I might try to try to read the ROM from a SNES game too. i didn’t have any shift registers on hand so i was only going to use A0-A4, just to get a decent amount of bytes to compare to an already dumped rom.
I finished up my Arduino cartridge reader a few days ago. I was drawn here by the link on HackADay today and I was pleasantly surprised to see that someone had built the same thing using the Arduino at approximately the same time. I have to say very nice write up for people looking to learn from you. Over all I think you should have just used a MCU that has enough pins on it already.
I did this with a ATMEGA16 and it came out nice and small. For the life of me I can not get Python and PySerial to play nice on a 64-bit machine. Just so you know I am in the process of making improvements to my script so it can adjust the ROM banks automatically, read our the game title, etc but that’s for another post. You should now see more hashes appear than last time and it will take a bit longer to complete too.
