Game Boy Player: Difference between revisions

The '''Game Boy Player''' was an accessory released for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. It plugs into the "Hi Speed Port" on the bottom of the GameCube. It requires a boot disc to run. Nearly any [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], or [[Game Boy Advance]] title can be played on the Game Boy Player, with the exception of the [[Game Boy Advance Video]] series (to prevent users from copying the GBA Video titles to recordable media such as blank VHS tapes or DVDs). Other games, such as {{wp|Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble}} and the [[Game Boy Camera]], can run on the Game Boy Player, but it is impractical to play them as they were designed with the portability of the Game Boy in mind. There is a game link port, so accessories like the [[Link Cable|Game Link Cable]] and [[Game Boy Printer]] can be used. The Game Boy Player is compatible with the GameCube-Game Boy Advance cable, allowing a Game Boy Advance to be used as the controller. However, the Game Boy Player cannot be used to connect a Game Boy Advance to a GameCube game (such as [[Pokémon Box Ruby and Sapphire]]), unless the user has two GameCubes running (one with the GameCube game running and one with the Game Boy Player running).
