There is a pixelfed account that posts exclusively Game Boy camera images. Coolest thing I’ve seen in some time.
The look of Gameboy Camera posts always makes me insanely nostalgic. It’s such a distinct look, and I loved mine back in the day (still think I have it stored somewhere in my closet).
Also cool: I found this Lemmy post via Kbin, then followed the Pixelfed user via my Mastdon account. Federation is cool.
What! Didn’t realize I could do that. Just followed on mastodon as well.
If anyone wants to follow the creator on mastodon, just search for the account

Super cool and great find. I always wanted one of these
Ive been wanting to buy one for a while to modify it so I can use telephoto lenses on it. The dithering on it is such a good look
Reminds me of this neocities site that has a collection of Gameboy Camera photos collected from the internet.
Mostly remember looking at the printer in a game shop thinking I’ll never afford this. Very cool result.
I used the hell out of mine back when I had it, loved this thing.
The Retrospecs iOS app can mimic this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/retrospecs/id887031094
This is genuinely very cool and has made me nostalgic enough to consider trying to get hold of one for my Game Boy! I only wish I had some photography talent, as it’s quite a feat to take good photos with something so technically rubbish.
@Jeze3D that’s rad! I’m always looking for more Pixelfed accounts to follow.
very cool. I vaguely remember this existing but I definitely didn’t have one. love how the images turn out.
No, but I had the Game Boy Printer back in the day! Printed a lot of Pokédex entries with that guy.
I got one of these gizmos. I remember seeing a guide about getting the pics off it. Does anyone have a link?
You need JoeyJr or similar device.

This might be relevant!
Gameboy Camera helped me understand how bugs see. Lol
Wow! I completely forgot that this existed!
Matt Grey on the YouTubes has a couple of videos with his Gameboy camera. He’s managed to take a few coloured photos, and set up a way to almost instantly get the pictures from the GBC to his phone.
