# 2bit PXLR Studio
**2bit PXLR Studio** is a custom ROM ("firmware") for the Game Boy Camera targeted on accessing the full potential of the original Game Boy Camera's sensor, as well as giving photographers more control.
It is meant to be used with [HDR's flashable Game Boy Camera PCB](https://github.com/HDR/Gameboy-Camera-Flashcart).
For convenience there's also a [itch.io page](https://herrzatacke.itch.io/2bit-pxlr-studio).
You can also tag your images with [#2bitpxlr](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/2bitpxlr/) or use the hashtag [#2bitpxlr](https://twitter.com/search?q=2bitpxlr) on Twitter.
## Current features:
+ Most settings of the camera's sensor are already configurable
+ Images can be saved, deleted and printed
+ Sensor settings are being saved across restarts. To reset hold `start`+`select` on boot
# Feedback
**Remember: I can only improve things I know about!!**
If you have actually used this ROM any type of feedback is very much appreciated. Please provide any feedback [via the issues](https://github.com/HerrZatacke/custom-camera-rom/issues).
Feedback includes but is not restricted to things like:

+ "I've used the following combination of parameters which work really well/bad"
+ "When I set param XX, I'd also like param YY to change"
# Building / Setup

This project requires an environment variable `GBDK_FOLDER="..."` pointing to the folder of GBDK
E.g. on wsl for windows add `export GBDK_FOLDER="/mnt/c/path_to_gbdk"` to your `.bashrc`
