Bring Out Your Inner Pokémon Trainer with the Raspberry Pi Pico Do you want to trade your favorite Pokémon over to an original cartridge? Are you a fan of the Game Boy Advance SP? Look no further - Reddit user Breadcodes has created an amazing Raspberry Pi Pico project that is guaranteed to bring out your inner Pokémon trainer! Using the Raspberry Pi Pico, Breadcodes is able to sniff data from the original link port and manipulate it for some cool hacking. This setup allows you to trade any pokémon you want over to an original cartridge! In the post shared to Reddit, Breadcodes demonstrates the system in action. The setup requires two logic-level shifters, as the Game Boy uses 5V while the Pico is a 3.3V module. It is also able to print images to an original Game Boy Printer that's connected using a Game Boy color cable. Additionally, Breadcodes is creating a desktop application that can work as a user interface, allowing users to set images for printing and configure pokémon for trading. To interface with the link cable, Breadcodes is using the Pico’s SPI library. This is an amazing Raspberry Pi Pico project that is sure to bring out your inner Pokémon trainer.
