"The $50 Epilogue GB Operator has a brand-new trick up its sleeve. In addition to backing up Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges and saves to a PC, it can now plug into your phone with a brand-new Retrace app for Android and iOS."
"While most of my English and Japanese library was detected without a hitch, it also called a few counterfeit cartridges 'authentic,' a number of authentic cartridges 'counterfeit' or 'possible counterfeit,' and about a tenth of my cartridges required multiple scans to detect anything at all."
"I think Epilogue should have stuck to its previous terminology of 'Official,' 'Unofficial' and 'Unrecognized' instead of 'authentic' and 'counterfeit,' because a romhack or a new game from Incube8 or ModRetro is still 'authentic' even if it wasn't released by Nintendo."
Epilogue's GB Operator, priced at $50, now features a new Retrace app for Android and iOS, allowing users to check the authenticity and value of Game Boy cartridges. While it successfully detected many cartridges, it struggled with some, mislabeling authentic ones as counterfeit and vice versa. Some cartridges required multiple scans for detection, and one legitimate cartridge failed to scan entirely. The terminology used for categorizing cartridges has also been criticized for being misleading.
