Weird. I've never got it to work right with any game, but at least the other times it didn't erase stuff. As I understand the GBCam uses a different memory map than most games, plus it takes a while to boot up (which I attribute to all the extra hardware involved), so I figured trying to access what's usually SRAM instead triggered something weird and wiped it all out.
(BTW, for those asking, it copies SRAM from games, so you can back it up. It's really cheaply made, though. ) |

I have the Mega Memory Card and have had no problems using it with my GB Camera. *shrug* |

And it seems like it likes to glitch with GB Camera.
Ah.. jokay.
Good thing I use a GBeXchanger for such things. |

I'm a Game Boy Camera fanatic, and familiar with the anomalies of the Game Boy Camera Hardware, but wtf is a Mega Memory Card? |
