New App & Device Help You Verify Game Boy Cartridges
Retro gaming and collecting are incredibly popular activities, often involving significant investment. Unfortunately, the market is also rife with counterfeit items, making it challenging for collectors to ensure the authenticity of their purchases.
To combat this, Epilogue has released a new smartphone application called Retrace. This app works in conjunction with their GB Operator device, allowing users to easily check if a Game Boy cartridge is legitimate.
For those unfamiliar, the GB Operator is an adapter designed to accept Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridges. It enables you to play these physical games on your computer through emulation.
The introduction of the Retrace app significantly streamlines the verification process. This is particularly beneficial for individuals buying Game Boy games who want to confirm authenticity before parting with their money. The prevalence of inexpensive fake cartridges represents a serious business, and tools like Retrace offer an ideal way to safeguard against such fraudulent products.
Using the Retrace app with the GB Operator is straightforward: simply ensure your GB Operator has the latest firmware, download the Retrace app to your phone, and connect the GB Operator to your phone using a USB-C cable. Once a cartridge is inserted, the app will not only confirm its authenticity but also provide an estimated market price for the game.
