    It's weird to think about, but it may be possible to actually capture color photos from the Gameboy Camera. You probably couldn't do it outside, but in a controlled studio setting, you could set up three filters over the lens, and then combine the photos in photoshop. The 8-bit guy did something similar: ruclips.net/video/a-ny3geJ-nk/видео.html

    The gb camera is awesome!
    I wrote one of those programs to extract bmp files out of gb .sav's and I use the "Mega Memory Card" to extract the save files and the "Ems flash cart" to transfer it to an sd card.
    You said those can be pricey but you're using a GameCube + Game boy player + Action replay. Maybe the real problem to my approach is to actually find the items for sale.
    Anyways, my software generates indexed bmp files that allows you to change the palette without doing anything weird.
    Here it is for the interested github.com/Rombusevil/rgbcdumper

It's all you need to rip the .sav file with the images and it's only 37 eur on Tindie (shipped directly from the guy who makes it). There's a few reviews of it on RUclips but in short it works great, and it's fast. Plus you can backup Game Boy save files with the same device if you're so inclined!
