# Game Boy Camera: mapping the save format and image slots

> The project maps the Game Boy Camera SRAM save format through comparisons of dumps from real hardware. Its notes identify image-slot state vectors, mirrored fields and checksums, while GNU Octave and MATLAB scripts inspect slots, extract pictures and inject custom images. The repository also includes sample saves for several camera variants.
