Game Boy Camera doesn't work (probably Card Ridge issue) #32

Hi,

I tested with a Pokemon Yellow Card Ridge that everything works correctly (it seems fine) image

I am not sure if this is how the Gameboy Camera should look like when reading the Card Ridge infos:

It might be a "hardware issue" with the cam itself, as in: the camera is pretty lose, the Pokemon Card Ridge sits perfectly. Both work in the old original grey first gen gameboy.

Hi, how are you?

Perhaps you placed the cartridge backwards. Since it doesn't have a casing, the board can be inserted either way, front or back.

Make sure the cartridge pins are aligned like this:

OH WOW! You have no idea how stupid I feel now ^^" I actually tried that and was like "nah, feels wrong".

No, thank you for sharing. I've experienced the same issue, and it's due to a lack of casing to ensure that the cartridges can only be inserted the right way. I'll also add this to the documentation 👍.
