I'm still too new to electronics and the Basic Stamp to try it
myself.. but I'm curious to read anything anyone has on interfacing
the BS2 (any variant) with a gameboy (advanced or older model). Even
if its just for data display.

    I don't know if you're aware of it or not, but there are entire
    websites dedicated to hacking the gameboys. You could learn a
    lot about the protocols etc. from them. Also Nuts & Volts has
    had various articles over the years on gameboy interfacing for
    various projects as well - one I believe was by Karl Lunt (who
    has a neat website as well).

    Ty, I'd appreciate any links you could send me would be greatly
    appreciated... especially from the Nuts & Volts issue numbers and
    such.

    Shane, I don't have the specifics memorized... I suggest you do
    a google search and/or got to the Nuts & Volts web site and type
    "Gameboy" into their archive search feature. Sorry, I'm just
    too busy to do the research for you.
