I have been using this ever since you made in compatible with SendSave and still get use of it to this day. So thank you for the work you put into it.

I was hoping that you would make it usable with libgpiod which from my understanding is how part of the Linux 5.5 kernel and with WiringPi being deprecated and hard to get without finding a old mirror of the latest deb. Which I found out after a clean install awhile ago and how I found out the newest

It would be nice to move to a maintained GPIO library for ease of setting up on newer Raspberry Pi's

I do know about the gba_03_multiboot repo but I just asked here as that rewrite never did get SendSave which is important to me.

I just found this great piece of software that could save me from pulling out and working with a very old (probably around 19+ years old) just to use my Xboo cable with its Parallel Port. So thank you.

I pulled out my xboo cable and connected the appropriate pins to my Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins and after a little fudging around with software I got it to work and can successfully send mb roms to my GBA.

The only problem is I have little use for that normally and would like to use sendsave to read or write saves between a cartridge and the Pi.

The gba mb rom needed is in a archive in step 6 of this post

I don;t know if it will matter for this but the cable I built uses 5 wires and your instructions only use 4 so the extra may be used to 2-way communication and need to be added.

EDIT: I remembered the actual homepage for sendsave
