 GameBoy-Player
: Game Boy on GameCube
Back
in the old days when SNES ruled the video game world there
was an add on for SuperNES called Super
Game Boy.
Super GB lets you play the GameBoy Black and White games
on TV screen in color by mdifying the color palet of the game.
GB games were actualy not Blac & Whte but used 4 shades
of gray so on the TV you could select a differnt color for
every shade + you coud define different palets for the background
and another one for the characters in the game!
The flaw to the Super GameBoy peripheral was that it couldn't connect to the
portable version of the GameBoy.
Time
went on -
Nintendo 64 didn't have an official add-on to play GB/GBC
games but there was a 3r party device to do that called N64
Game Booster that
let you play old Gameboy favourites in full size TV using
N64. Of course colour palette system allows to change
regular Gameboy graphics into colour and in adicion to
that it works as
Action Replay Pro! I found that you can still buy Game Booster online!
Look under Nintendo64 > Utilities & Tools
Today Nintendo has made a great add-on for GameCube
- Gameboy Player.

Want to play Pokemon Ruby or Sapphire on the big screen?
Advanced Game Port (AGP) lets you play your Game Boy Advance/SP games on your
TV set! Simply slot the AGP cartridge into your GameCube console, insert a GBA/SP
game cartridge, and start playing your favourite games in seconds.
AGP is small, portable and lightweight, and it's so easy to use - just plug in
and play. AGP is also compatible with Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire - it even maintains
your real-time clock and save positions within GBA/SP games such as these. AGP
is also lightning-fast - it loads your games in seconds!
AGP is much smaller than Gameboy-Player from Nintendo and it plugs into
your GameCube's memory card slot and

stick control).
