Gameboy Sewing Machine - Need Cartridge


Recommended Posts

I've got this Gameboy that plugs into the sewing machine and it is supposed to make embroidery patches of pictures in the game. I have the original Singer game cartridge, but I hear there's one called "Mario Family" (a Gameboy Color cart only released in Japan) that's floating around. I can't find it on ebay, amazon etc... someone's got one to sell somewhere..

Might anyone know an easier way to find one for sale on the net? I guess it's so unheard of, even google isn't showing results of it except for a couple of small wickys and oddity articles. I must have it. :(

That's actually not a bad idea :o I at least just want to get this machine up and running (apart from the Singer Cart it came with). I can at least sew names :) I'll look into that...

But yeah, from what I've read (from really old posts) the game runs around 80-120 USD, possibly higher since 2008. I wouldn't mind paying 80 for sure, some folks are sympathetic to those who love collecting :) Hoping to find that kind of person :p It's an awesome machine.

here's a download site for the ROM, if you managed to get a blank cartridge :)

My Many Thanks Pal :) I'm already into vinyl pressing, img transfers etc.. something as interesting as this is sure to add new zest to the upcoming store. I will order my cartridge too. I'll have to make a video for youtube later, seeing as nobody has really made any elaborate reviews/samples etc...

huh, i didn't even know you could plug a gameboy into a sewing machine,

sounds interesting, i look forward to your video :)

yeah, I'm amazed at how versatile those things were O.o

I have an old one that plugs into a printer where I can print out my pokemon, and I thought that was just about the coolest thing until I saw this :D

HI Izlude, 

I have had this sewing machine for years, my kids took off with the Game Boy and the cartridge got lost too. So I bought one on Ebay for $50. I figured that the sewing machine is worthless without it, so I bought it. Then of course today I found the original cartridge!! So now I have an extra. If you want to buy it from me, I can sell it for what I paid. Let me know. [email protected] is my email.

    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
