### Construct the Arduino Gameboy Printer Emulator

Use an arduino nano and wire the gameboy link cable as shown below.
If you can fit the gameboy camera to gameboy advance etc... you may need a
differen pinout reference. But the wiring should be similar.
Use an arduino Nano/Uno and wire the gameboy link cable according to the pinout shown below.

You should avoid cutting old genuine gameboy link cables, there is plenty new cables you can purchase online. Do note that you cannot trust the color code of these cables, you must always check the wire against the plug pins. Especially considering the RX/TX pair of the pins may be flipped.
Pure GBA cables (purple ones) have a different pinout from GB/GBC, avoid using them. In general, do not destroy old genuine gameboy link cables for this purpose, there is plenty new cables you can purchase online. Do note that you cannot trust the color code of these cables, you must always check the wire against the plug pins. Especially considering the RX/TX pair of the pins may be flipped.

Else if you have a 3D printer, you can use (Game Boy DMG-01 Link Port plug for dupont jumper wire by Marko Štamcar from Slovenian Computer Museum, created as part of a retro tech exhibition)[https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4685189]
