The Game Boy Camera is an official Nintendo accessory for the Game Boy and was released in 1998. Users can take pictures and modify them with stickers and frames, as well as play several included minigames. In addition to the original model, there was a US-exclusive Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time edition that included different stamps.
The first emulator to have some capability of emulating the Game Boy Camera was a modified version of an old emulator called Hash. This version, named Hashcam, can still be found on [http://www.darkfader.net/gbc/ the author's website]. While there were some efforts to run the Game Boy Camera ROM in BGB unofficially, the author didn't show much interest in it. However, it is fully emulated with webcam support in a lesser-known emulator called GiiBiiAdvance.
The latest dev builds of [[mGBA]] post 0.6.0 release can emulate the accessory by either using the PC's webcam or send a BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, or other image format to the game, as if it was coming from the camera itself.<ref>[https://twitter.com/mGBA_emu/status/890954205472501762]</ref> To enable the PC webcam, go to <code>Game Boy</code> under <code>settings </code> and switch the <code>camera driver</code> to <code>Qt Multimedia</code>, or by editing <code>qt.ini</code> and setting <code>cameraDriver=1</code> under <code>[General]</code>.
