Thank you. I bought one and can't wait to save my files from my Pokémon games and play them on my PC. That's simply amazing

[@Sylv]

Great video Kyle, I’m glad I subscribed to you! I’m super excited for the Joey Jr!

[@KyleAwsm]

Gus GamingChannel Thanks so much, man! 😃 I'm glad you're enjoying my content!!!

[@MegaManNeo]

I wonder if those two devices are better at backing up saves than the Retrode2 which I happen to own alongside the GB/A adapter. Backing up saves with that one is a hassle, haven't manage to do it ever since I own it.

[@daehyunkim1969]

Very interesting! this pcb can drop in my gbc korean version rom file to other japanese cartridge? if yes, i’ll definitely buy it

[@foxmcfog7809]

Wow, 44 likes with no dislikes. Goes to show how good this video is. Great job

[@KyleAwsm]

Fox McFog Thank you so much! 😄 I'm glad you like it!

[@bendoesstuff_]

Let’s get this man to 1 mil

[@lazarusrex9545]

so I can conceivably copy my Rom and save data even though I cant yet write it back to the cart, if I just want to have it backed up in case the day comes that the batteries finally die?

[@BigJoker]

Any idea when I can buy the GBA out to TV device from Ben?

[@KyleAwsm]

FierceDietyXeroX Soon! He's mostly just waiting on my review video so he can gauge customer feedback and interest. My script is fully written! Just gotta film a few things yet. 🙂

[@WilsonTjandra]

might need it for copy it back to Chinese cartridge, would the gen4 able to do it later?

[@TheDanex7]

Hi, just wanted to say your video got me more hyped than SSB. Also,... 2 questions : 1- Will the gen3 or another Joey be able to re-write original GB,GBC, and GBA cartridges ? 2- When will the VGAMITE come out ? (Glad to give my gba sp motherboard a second life) Thanks.

[@KyleAwsm]

TheDanex7 Thanks for your comment and questions! The way that genuine Nintendo game carts are programmed is using MaskROM, which can never be rewritten. Imagine the factory basically laser-etching the hex code into the chip. That's basically how MaskROM works; It can never be reworked to have something else programmed on it. As for the VGAmite, I think that's what my post on my Community page will be about tomorrow - I'll write up a very detailed FAQ about it and when it will be released, as well as why my video is taking so long. 🙂 I'm sorry for not posting about it on your comment. Everything will make sense tomorrow when you see the post. Promise. 🤞🏻

[@GoldenAngel3341]

Have you tried dumping a GBC save file that is corrupted? Can it be restored once the save file is digital on a PC installed with GBC emulator? Thanks.

[@jaberromjan]

Just got a question, could you play save files from pikemon virtual console games on the cartridge?

[@plumb3311]

I just ordered a Joey jnr:)

[@garrettbarton3192]

im kinda curious what the gen 3 would do with a gba video cartridge

[@rockbuster4300]

For legit gameboy or GBA games, can you switch the ROMs to other games? Great video

[@esotericsean]

Ah, that sounds amazing! I just finally got my gen3 (and an elcheapo). Having lots of fun playing with it. :)

[@limit7267]

Let's say I wanted to edit the .sav file with PKHeX for Pokemon Crystal, would I be able to do that? I mainly want to dump my savs for backup, but to be able to do that would be an added plus. Also, is GBA supported nowadays? Thanks in advance :D

[@ReaksOP]

does this only work on bootleg or can it be done on authentic too?

[@SlyfiGamer]

Hi, could you tell me if this device can change the game from a Game Boy Color cartridge to another game?

[@ranjid1379]

Are gba games workin g with it. Like pkmn emerald?

[@HCRAYERT.]

Can you swap the rom for a rom hack of the same game?

[@maso_fandead6920]

(I know I'm super late, but please reply if your able to) I have a Japanese copy of Pokemon Crystal, but I can't understand Japanese, does this work in the sense that I can write the English version onto the cartridge?

[@MrJ0mmy]

i have a gba multicart that has sega megadrive games on it as you would expect they run like crap did a video on it but i tried dumping the cart using a my ds lite and it only gives me the multicart menu when i select a game nothing happens just a black screen would this thing be able to dump it correctly

[@ironleegaming8227]

sorry for the late reply. I don't know if it will when he updates it, but currentl;ty, it still does not have GBA support. they are still working on that. Sources: I own one It says on the site

[@MrJ0mmy]

@@ironleegaming8227 cool

[@khiclark31]

Could I use this to dump a translation onto the actual game cartridge?

[@mikey2345]

I bought a flashboy before I heard of this and found it extremely difficult to set up. I got it to work on my laptop but it refuses to work on my desktop despite hours of troubleshooting. as soon as I saw you plug the joey joebags in and it opens on your computer as a flash drive I was sold. It can't get any easier than that.

[@ehjay438]

0 what kind of laptop did you use with it, and was any setup necessaryi? bought a flashboy and am stuggling with it, i can dump roms but cant seem to read the ram for my save files (im also using a desktop)

[@stephendallasdraws2929]

Is there a way to connect this to a Rasberry Pi Zero so I can play real cartridges on a DIY handheld?

[@LealSlimOficial]

Basically does Joey Jr. replace the GB flash cart? Do you ship to Brazil?

[@KyleAwsm]

The Joey Jr. doesn't necessarily replace the need for a flash cart, but it can dump game data from many bootleg carts. The Joey Gen 3 can dump AND rewrite bootlegs, so maybe that is what you're desiring: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6HEda19o72AaJo

[@HieiTF76]

So, if I understood everything, you can use this thing to backup/restore your saves on original cartridges?

[@TuncayAyhan]

Yes

[@HieiTF76]

@@TuncayAyhan Okay, thank you.

[@akebalanetzioni2204]

When is the next shipment happening?

[@bradleycoates6297]

Is there any way to find out what region your game belongs to if the cartridge sticker is missing? I've searched everywhere.. Will this program tell you, or is there any other way to tell without the sticker?

[@HieiTF76]

It's hard to say because as the gameboy games are free region, there's no CIC (the chip which lock the game region, and it's easy to find the region of a game with a CIC). I guess the game language is not in japanese? If yes, I suppose you would not wonder which region it is. Maybe the PCB serial can help. What is the name of the game and can you provide a picture of the PCB of the game (the board which is inside the cartridge shell).

[@Mantekilla22]

It’s sold out? Any idea how I can buy this?

[@DoubleTails]

so this this model can i change the roms on a bootleg cart?

[@bengrimmett1239]

Yes, the Version 2 firmwares support reflashing

[@KyleAwsm]

Interesting! I'm not sure. Can you provide a link to the device in question? If it's a Gameboy compatible device and sticks the data somewhere into SRAM or Flash on a game cartridge, chances are it can.

Hi Kyle nice video can I give you my opinion (as a constructive commentary hopefully), I'm an electronic student and one of the main features of my degree is hardware development focusing in a lot in pcb design and development (also in embedded system development along side the hardware), hopefully that Joey gen 4 is only a prototype, two things that I spotted immediately during the showcase of your product is that you chose to make some of the tracks (sorry English is not my native language) with 90º degree angle which should avoided as much as possible during pcb design due to stress caused during electron transfer between "point a and point b", also I see that you choose to cover your the pcb with a polygon (probably connected to ground idk you don't disclaim it) nice call on it, but in the middle of the pcb where there is a bigger concentration of tracks there is no polygon connected as you can see by a darker color that can and should be avoided as much as possible either and you can do it using plated via to connect bottom gnd to top layer gnd. Hopefully my commentary was helpful thank you

[@sintiendomevivo]

Hi man, first of all great video! Now, I've looked on BennVenn's shop a few minutes ago and... From what I saw rn he has 3 versions of this joey awesomeness. And I was wondering... why are the normal and jr version equally priced? Should i get the mini one? Is this one the 4th gen one? Thanks!

[@KyleAwsm]

Jay M Hi there, and thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :) Good question! The Joeys that you see on BV's store page are the same as mine in my Gen3 tutorial video (check my Videos page, 40 min. long video); Two of them are that same style - One with a translucent shell and LED, one with a solid color shell, and the third is a smaller version of the Gen3. The Gen4 unfortunately is not out yet, but it should be available sometime in early 2019. I hope this helps!

[@muckersTGN]

It's been added to the store now (not sure how long ago!), but for pre-order only. Late April. bennvenn.myshopify.com/collections/game-cart-to-pc-interface/products/usb-gb-c-cart-dumper-the-joey-jr

[@brunutiloco5739]

in 3:25 you are playing directly from the cartridge or you transfer the save to play in the emulator?

[@katsumiskytower8714]

most likley loading the .GBC and .SAV files to the computer first.

[@RobertStacker]

Nice new intro!

[@KyleAwsm]

Robert Stacker Thanks, man! 😎

[@Yami_Industries]

In July/August 2019, does the Joey mini still work the same way?

[@swordcrafted]

Will this allow me to replace save files on GBA cartridges? (.sav file type) What I mean is that I have a Pokemon Fire Red save file and if I get this will I be able to add that save file to the cartridge? And if THIS can’t do it, what about the Joey Joebags?

[@KyleAwsm]

The Joey Gen3 can replace save files, yes. The Jr. however, I can't recall at the moment.

[@swordcrafted]

KyleAwsm Thanks!

[@raiderznation]

got mine yesterday and have been troubleshooting since. It sometimes appears on windows but freezes if i try to copy anything from it. Edit: tried it on my home server and it seems to work but it's still a bit glitchy.

[@KyleAwsm]

Try it on another computer - Sounds like you may have some software or hardware interfering with it, or you may have had a bad firmware update write. If all else fails, reach out to BennVenn at [e-mail]. Thanks for watching.

[@piffytho8638]

so can i put my custom rom game on a blank cartridge with this?

[@thewastelandwaffle9334]

You can put it on a blank cart, or some cheap carts without protection. There is a list on Benns website I believe.

[@Vadermods]

so this will get the day and night cycles working in a reproduction prokemon cart?

[@KyleAwsm]

No - Reproduction carts lack an RTC module, a clock, which allows for such things. However, there are third-party flash carts that have a clock in them that could do this. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

Likely not, no. The chip shortage and rare earth minerals shortage is wreaking havoc on most global markets right now. Those prices probably won't ever fall back to where they were. 🙁

[@coolduder1001]

Has anyone had the idea to connect this to a raspberry pi and use it as a better Retron SQ, cause that's the idea I'm having? Setup the raspberry pi as a baremetal Gameboy emulator that let's you play the game through what ever video output the raspberry pi has. It might even be a cheaper alternative since something like a pi Zero should be enough to run it.

[@psy.wordex]

Can I write ROMs also on it?

[@KyleAwsm]

The Jr. is only for ROM dumping. The Gen3 (which I have a 45 min. comprehensive tutorial video on) can read from and write to bootleg carts. Genuine carts cannot be written to from any such device since those carts use MaskROM.

[@AceTheAro7]

@@KyleAwsm so does that mean not even bootlegs can be rewritten

Plug in the cartridge first, and then plug the Joey Jr. into your computer. It may take a few seconds, but then a window should come up with the cartridge data. You will need to do this every time you want to dump a different cartridge. Hope this helps!
