Hi,

I was wondering... How do I get a gameboy color game that I purchased from my gameboy onto my computer?

Thanks,

You'll need special and not so cheap hardware like Multi Game Doctor, Super Backup Card/GX/GBX,Game Boy Xchanger, GBDoctor, etc unless you know how to make a homebrew dumper, which it's not easy as good electronics knowledge and skill is required.

The easiest way, as you might know, would be to download your game, since you own an original cart it would be legal. Then all you need is a good GB/GBC emulator as BGB, Visual Boy Advance, or TGB, for example.

If got a GBA, EZFA-Client, and the cable to connect from the multiplayer port on the GBA to a USB port. Could i use this to dump GB/GBC games to me computer? I think all i need is software.

I think it might dump GBA roms, but not sure about GB/GBC. This dumpers/flash cards are mostly out of stock now.

GB\GBC games and roms are don't work with GBA flashcards without extra hardware.
GBA fhashcards can dump any GBA game.
