The $50 Epilogue GB Operator has a brand-new trick up its sleeve. In addition to backing up Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges and saves to a PC (and writing saves back to carts again!), it can now plug into your phone with a brand-new Retrace app for Android and iOS<\/a>. The idea: check if cartridges are legit, and how much they’re worth, before you buy or sell them.<\/p>\n

Is it reliable? I plugged around 50 cartridges into the app, and\u2026 it could use some work. While most of my English and Japanese library was detected without a hitch, it also called a few counterfeit cartridges \u00ab\u00a0authentic,\u00a0\u00bb a number of authentic cartridges \u00ab\u00a0co \u2026<\/p>\n
