Introduction

The GB Operator is a device which allows you to read and write GameBoy/GameBoy Color/GameBoy Advance cartridges.

ChimeraOS offers a plug and play integration with the GB Operator device.

Setup

Simply plug in the GB Operator while your ChimeraOS device is turned off. Turn on your device and ChimeraOS will detect the GB Operator and automatically add a Steam shortcut called "Cart Loader".

Launching carts

You can launch game carts simply by plugging them in to the GB Operator device, or by manually running the "Cart Loader" shortcut. It can take 5-10 seconds for the game to launch, because the game must first be read from the cartridge in its entirety.

Game saves are supported, but to avoid possible corruption, game saves are not read from nor written to the cartridge itself. Instead they are stored separately on the ChimeraOS system.

Limitations

Currently, only GameBoy and GameBoy Color carts are supported. GameBoy Advance carts are not supported.
