Installation Directions

This project is intended to be overlayed on top of an existing firmware repo, in my case the Release 0.79.1 version.

• Clone the Flipper Zero firmware repository. Refer to this tutorial for updating the firmware.
• Copy the "malveke_gb_live_camera" folder into the /applications_user/malveke_gb_live_camera folder in your firmware.

• Run the command ufbt launch to run it on your Flipper Zero.

  ./ufbt launch
  

• NOTE: If you only want to generate the fap file, you must run the following command.

  ./ufbt 
  

And use qFlipper to copy the generated malveke_gb_live_camera.fap file to the SD Card/apps/GPIO folder.

Instructions for use.

These instructions assume that you are starting at the Flipper Zero desktop. Otherwise, press the Back button until you are at the desktop.

• Press the OK button on the Flipper to open the main menu.
• Choose Applications from the menu.
• Choose GPIO from the submenu.
• Choose GAME BOY Live Camera MALVEKE

• The Flipper Zero will show the loading screen of the application.

  
  
  

• If the MALVEKE board and the GAME BOY Camera cartridge are connected, an image will be displayed.

  
  
  

• Press the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to change the exposure value.

• Press the OK button to take a picture. The image will be saved in the SD Card/apps_data/malveke/photos folder.

TODO

• Add automatic exposure calculation.
• Refactor Code
