Printer reader

[tikonen]

Python application that reads data from the printer emulator and writes png files andoptionally raw data log files.

I see that this is an extention of the effort of gbpdecoder.py but to add a cli and a way to more easily directly read from the serial port. Nice!

Looks all good, merging!

Thank you. This has been very convenient app for dumping large number of images from the Gameboy camera.

[mofosyne]

Not a problem. Have you also considered cart dumpers? Those would likely be faster, but is certainly more expensive and a little bit more complicated. Still I like watching the process of downloading the images.

[tikonen]

True, that would be faster. However our target use case is the personal experience of using GB camera for example in retro party or art exhibition. Then automatically having the image as a souvenir through laser printer, thermal printer or email.

Btw. In case you're interested here is a pic of our emulator. I encased Arduino in army data transfer memory dongle I found at a surplus store 😄 It even had existing busy led I could reuse.
