I have 2 PSP/PS3 charging cables, so I was wondering if it was possible to mod the Gameboy and Gameboy Printer I already have to connect them. I have a Gameboy and a Gameboy Color, so if anyone can mod one of them and my printer, I'll send you them and pay for the parts to mod the machines. As long as the mod is less than $50, including shipping there and back, I'll pay for it in July, when I'm done saving for an Anime/Sci-Fi con at the end of June.

You can mod a Game Boy Printer to use a USB port... if you're going to be using it with a PC that is. Game Boy link cables are cheap enough, why not go that route?

Connect what and where? ??? Charging/playing GB with PSP charging adaptor? ???
I don't buy, sell or trade at moment.
But my question is how hackers at that time were able to hack those games?(c)krzy

I think he wants to use a USB cable instead of a proper link cable for connecting a Game Boy and Game Boy Printer, which you can't even do because USB only has five pins while the GB link cable has six...

Well, he said "charging cables"  ???

Most electronics these days use plain-jane USB cables for charging so I think that's what he meant.

Best to just get a set of rechargable batteries to be honest.
