The Gameboy Printer Emulator is a program to transfer images from the Gameboy Camera to a PC via a parallel Gameboy -to- PC cable (infos on how to build it is included in the zip file)

Just checked. lo and behold there are instructions.

To enable to print the following cable is required :-

GB PC
-- --
Pin DATA IN Pin 1 (Not used for printing)
Pin DATA OUT Pin 4
Pin CLK Pin 5
Pin GND Pin 18

The Print button will send the current picture to the Gameboy printer.
Use the options to set Photo or Frame (All may not work with large photos).
Slider bars allow the following options to be changed :-

S - Data send delay rate - (This is trial and error I found 30 was ok)
Set the rate to the top to start with
B - Number of line feeds before printing
A - Number of line feeds after printing
E - Exposure, make print darker or lighter


thats not instructions for normal people...

You're right.
That's for people who know what they're doing.
If you don't know how to understand that, than you won't be able to make it yourself.

EDIT:
Woops, didn't realize the oldness of this thread.

What fools we are for trying to wander beyond our realm of understanding. How about instead of being a ****, you provide some helpful information. I'd like to build one of these cables too, but I don't know how to read this schematic diagram, but I'd like to learn. It's hard to look up what these symbols mean when you don't know what they're called.
