> A big problem trying to create color images from my own face was getting them off the gameboy camera. ... What was left was the great method of taking images of the screen.

There is another option! You can get a backup device called the "Mega Memory Card" and an EMS64M Game Boy flash cart. Back up the GB Camera's SRAM with the Mega Memory Card and restore to the EMS64M. Then you can use the flash cart's transfer the save to PC and dump with software.

I regularly use this method together with a little utility I wrote[1] to get GB Cam images onto my website. The Game Boy Camera is a cool little gadget!
