	Game Boy Player - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Game Boy Player is a device made by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube which enables Game Boy (although Super Game Boy enhancements are ignored), Game Boy Color, or Game Boy Advance cartridges to be played on a television.
		The hardware in the Game Boy Player is the same as a Game Boy Advance without the screen or batteries.
		A special Game Boy Player for the Panasonic Q GameCube/DVD player had to be made due to the Q's legs.

	Gamer's Logik 4.0 - Game Boy Player Review
		However, you can't expect that the GBP knows what to color everything, so there are a number of color palettes to choose from by using a code at the start-up screen (look in the instruction manual for more info on that).
		That is, the journey from Game Boy screen to TV is marred by some annoying jitter effects, particularly in games that utilize Mode 7 effects (scaling and rotation, commonly seen in overworld maps in RPG's and the like).
		Another thing I noticed with the Game Boy Player is that a few of the games I played ran noticeably slower than they seemed to on the Game Boy Advance, most notably Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow.

	Game Boy Player Hardware Review
		All of the original Game Boy games are fl and white, but with a choice of twelve different colour palettes you can have the various shades of grey filtered into shades of red or blue or green.
		Original Game Boy games can also have their square screens stretched to fill the sides the same as on a Game Boy Advance, plus there’s a screen filter mode to help you sharpen or soften the graphics as some of the older games tend to look poorly when blown up to the big screen.
		The Game Boy Player is another great accessory from Nintendo and especially because of it’s low sticker price ($69.95) it’s an obvious purchase for anyone with both a GameCube and Game Boy Advance and a love for gaming.

	Planet GameCube FAQS: The Ultimate Game Boy Player FAQ
		Game Boy systems have never had regional lockouts, and unless NOA spitefully adds one to the US version, the Game Boy Player is no different.
		It might be possible for future games to access the GBP without a boot disc, but as we’ll explain a bit later, for the system to be playing both a GameCube game and a GBA game at the same time, both games would have to be designed for such a feature from the ground up.
		Considering that Game Boy games have less data to transfer and are already set up to interact in a similar manner for multiplayer and GC Connectivity, online gaming with Game Boy games could be a seamless and exciting experience if anyone takes advantage of it.

	Game Boy Player review for the HARDWARE
		The Player is essentially a device that connects to the bottom of your Gamecube, allowing you to play the entire library of Game Boy games on your TV.
		The Player even remains on the bottom of the Gamecube during normal use and does not need to be detached.
		If you have a Gamecube and a large library of Game Boy games and are more interested in playing them at home like a shut-in than on some giant tour bus, the Game Boy Player is a cheaper solution at $50 than either the basic GBA or the new GBA SP.

	Amazon.com: Game Boy Player: Computer & Video Games (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I was slightly disappointed in the gameboy player but overall its a nice device to have in the home to experience the gameboy games on a larger screen (your TV!).
		This is a big one for me: The games resolution on a TV is a bit worse than on the gameboy itself but this problem is unavoidable.
		A great substitute for a person who doesn't on a GBA but has the games, has lost a GBA, had their GBA stolen, or has to share their GBA; their sibling is playing the GBA, and you can play your GBA games on the TV.

		Letting you take games on the road or to ahem work is a great way to pass time and keep playing when you're away from your game systems.
		The device was a tad clunky and fairly underutilized, and the rise of the Game Boy Color (which had a library of color games that were incompatible with the B&W Super Game Boy 75% of the time) pretty much eliminated the need for the device.
		Playing the games is simple, as all the buttons on the Cube pad are on the GBA with the exception of Select (which is mapped to Y or X on the Cube controller).

		The Game Boy Player is like an extra full system that is only about the price of a new Cube game like Resident Evil Zero,Sonic Adventure DX and Metroid Prime.
		Game Boy Player lets those of us who were adamantly refusing to get a GBA still enjoy the same games.
		All in all, unless one just has to have their picture with absolute perfect clarity, the Game Boy Player is makes an already good system better.

		However, using a Game Boy Advance cable, gamers can additionally connect a GBA and use it as a controller to play the software.

	GBA Movie Player :: Game Boy Advance :: Review :: DreamStation.cc
		The construction of the GBA Movie Player is decent but it would have been nice if they had enclosed the pins at the end of the cartridge like the standard GBA cartridges do.
		I tried it without the game inserted and all that appeared was the Game Boy screen that you get when you turn the GBA on without a cartridge in it.
		The GBA Movie Player is a neat idea for people looking for a way to watch movies and videos on the go that already own a Game Boy Advance, compact flash card and reader or are willing to buy them.

		The GB Player currently is made in four different colors to match the various GameCube models; Indigo, Platinum, Spice, and Black.
		Hitting the power button triggers the boot sequence and in a matter of seconds, the GBA game is loaded and is ready to play.

	Video game hardware review: Game Boy Player
		The Game Boy Player hopes to make good on some of those promises.
		The resolution of the games is still limited by the capacity of the Game Boy Advance (240 x 160 pixels), and you'll probably find just as many games that look better when played through the Player as you will those that look worse.
		The Game Boy Player adds an inch of height to the GameCube, making it slightly taller than your average VCR.

		Connecting to the bottom of the Nintendo GameCube, the Game Boy Player allows you to use either your console controller or your Game Boy Advance to direct the action on screen.
		And because the Game Boy Player plugs into the Hi-Speed Port on the bottom of the Nintendo GameCube, the Serial Ports are left free for your Nintendo GameCube Modem Adapter or Broadband Adapter.

	Nintendo Game Boy Player Review
		If the GameCube only had one game on it, Nintendo could achieve this enormous expansion by releasing another six and a half games — but that is not the case.
		And it is because of these 1300+ Game Boy games that Nintendo is able to boast a 750% growth in the GameCube library.
		The idea behind the Game Boy Player is to be able to play the very same games that you could on your Game Boy Advance on your television at home.
