I do not own a Gameboy Player, so I can't rip one apart to see how it works. Do any of you own a Gameboy Player, and if so, could you post pictures? Google images yields me nothing.
Ideally, I would want to miniaturize it somehow and build it into my portable... imagine: an ubër handheld that could play GCN, GBA, GBC, and original GB games.
The awesome factor would be absolutely unbelievable. I could play every zelda game ever made (with the exception of the DS ones and the upcoming one for wii) thanks to the wonders of re-releases. I have included a list below, it is of no relevance, so I put it in as a spoiler so it won't hog the screen unless you want it to.
LoZ: GBA port exists
AoL: GBA port exists
Lttp: GBA port exists
LA: originally for GB, GBC port exists
OoT: GCN port exists, bunded with master quest
OoT Master Quest: GCN game
MM: GCN port esists
OoA: made for GBC
OoS: made for GBC
FS: Bundled with GBA version of Lttp
tWW: GCN game
FSA: GCN game (would work with my current design, it required a GBA link cable, right now my portable still features support for that. I know some portables out there don't... people trim that part off of the board and/or seal off the controller port)
tMC: made for GBA
TP: GCN game
Booyah! 13/15 zelda games will be playable on my GCN portable if I include a Gameboy Player.
Does anyone know anything about the insides of a gameboy player? without information on this, I can do nothing. And I am too big of a zelda fan to let that oppritunity pass by.
it opens up a myriad of new titles (more then doubling the number of games playable on the thing) as well as homebrew and hacking possibilities.
EDIT: I just realized that this forum is most unlike other forum's I've been on, because on other forums when you spoiler something it hides it and you have to click a little icon to show it with the rest of the post. evidently, all this forum does is highlight the text in black. What the heck?
