GB Header Extractor

This is a tool that extracts header information from GameBoy and GameBoy Color ROM files and writes it as comma separated values into a file (A CSV file). It is designed for simplicity and only works on Windows operating systems.

The extracted information contains the following:

• The filename of the ROM
• The game/software title
• The game code (if it exists)
• The publisher/maker
• GameBoy Color support flag
• Super GameBoy support flag
• The PAK/Cartridge type
• The size of the ROM in KiB
• The size of additional RAM in KiB
• The destination code
• The software version

Usage

To use this tool copy the executable GBHeaderExtractor.exe into the folder that contains your GameBoy and/or GameBoy Color ROM files. Double click the executable to run the program. A new file named output.csv will appear in the same folder as the executable. This file contains the header information of all the ROM files in the same location.

Keep in mind that this tool will not extract information from files in any of the sub-folders. Only files in the same location as the executable are read.
