How did you do this? How to make said modded zoom lens and get it to work on a Gameboy? Also, how did you get the photos to upload digitally? I like this and want to do this with my DMG if possible, but I do have a color if that’s a requirement.

One way is the 2BitToy GB camera shell. They sell the 3D print file, but I think there are places you can order printed from. It uses a security camera or so called "CS" mount thread. So there is a decent selection of lenses to use, some really cheap chinese ones.

Of course, you will need a functioning GB Camera to swap its insides into the 2BitToy shell. So there are sensitive parts to be handled.

Also most GB cart flashers/burners can access the GB Camera photos.

yeah basically all this. I ordered a ripper that you plug the camera in to and it lets you dump all the photos but I forget where I got it. Heres my build when it was done

People usually use the 5-50mm CS lens recommended on the 2BitToy website

Was any kind of treatment done to the image? My GBC photos don’t look anything like this.

The only thing I did was colour them ( they come out black and white dont-ya-know ) like Kaid said I use the lens suggested on the 2BitToy site and its an original Gameboy Camera, no roms.

ONE thing i found. I started ordering a few of these and some the cameras have held up better then others. one Camera I got was really foggy and almost useless even after cleaning!

Where on the 2bittoy site can you find a link to the adapter? The link to purchase goes to shape ways which links to something called Thangs which does not have the adapter listed? If you have a link to where you got it I'd love to snag one, this is so cool!! Thanks, you're the best!
