#56 Support for Gameboy Camera!

[Jeffkong]

I'm requesting support for Gameboy Camera. Not the
camera part but just the ability to use everything else in
the game
(like the Gest emulator http://koti.mbnet.fi/gest_emu/\).

I assume you still work on GB/GBC because Bug Report
works for GB/GBC games.

Right now when a Gameboy Camera Rom is loaded an
error saying "Unknown cartridge type fc" appears.

As far as I know it's the only Gameboy game that isn't
supported by VBA, and Gameboy Camera is a pretty fun
game, even without the camera support.

Of course, if you figured a way to add Camera support
then all the better... although that may be nearly
impossible.

Would it be feasible to emulate the camera using a
DirectShow source?

The camera protocol is not documented, so it is hard to say
if it could be done quickly. I don't plan to invest time
doing it. Anyone else is welcome contribute it.

I once modified Hash emulator to support camera support.
( http://darkfader.net/gbc/files/hashcam.zip )
It's a pretty simple hack that converts camera source to tiles.
I'm currently trying to get VBA to load from some GBA linker
device. Guess it could be done for GB linkers too.
