Mad Catz under Linux... help please?
I just got my hands on one of those much-ballyhooed Mad Catz parallel link cables. (By the way, if you're looking for one, I found mine on Amazon.co.uk. The seller from whom I got mine only ships to the UK, mind you.) And I'm using a recent version of Ubuntu.

I tried gblnk first, and got an error about not having an old lib. Mind you, this project was last updated in 2002. I recompiled using the up-to-date version and was able to successfully download an image from my camera... if by "successful" you mean "I'm cool with horizontal lines all through my photo." I e-mailed the creator of this program, and am awaiting a response.

The other option I've heard suggested for Linuxy folks is ucon64. I tried the suggested command-line switches (among others), but was unable to successfully download an image. Well, at one point, the Game Boy showed that it was "Transferring" a photo, but the photo was nowhere to be found on my computer, much less the filename I chose to give it. I also tried using the "uf-Fox" GUI frontend for this, and had even less luck.

If anyone has had success downloading images from a GB camera under Linux using the Mad Catz cable, please tell me how you went about doing this.
