Summary
Epilogue's GB Operator accessory, which lets you connect Game Boy cartridges to PCs, now has a new mobile app for iOS and Android. The app allows users to connect the Game Boy Camera accessory to their smartphones via the GB Operator, enabling them to take and share the pixelated, lo-fi photos captured by the famously low-resolution 1998 camera. This expands on a previous update that turned the Game Boy Camera into a desktop webcam.
