# Game Boy Link communication, host side
This is the host side of a project that allows communication between a physical Game Boy Game Link Cable and a computer.
Three functionalities are implemented:
- Sniffing the serial communication
- Virtual Game Boy Printer that stores the images as PNG files
- Printing directly to the Game Boy Printer (no Game Boy needed)
The code is written in Rust.
## Details
You can read the complete details of this project in my blog posts:
