Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this accesory more out of curiosity than anything else; the price was not bad so I took the chance and I do not regret it. The GameBoy Player (GB Player) accesory is connected to the High Speed port below your GameCube console (GC), it has two tiny screws to tighten it to your console and avoid accidental drops. An ejector button is also provided, to allow for proper removal. A Startup disc is included and required to activate the GB Player. All features of a GameBoy Advance are included in the GameBoy Player (The Accessory Slot, the Game Pak Slot and the External Extension Connection). You can play the thousands of Game Boy, GameBoy Color, and Advance games available as with your handheld Advance console. You can also link other GB Advance units to the GB Player for multiplayer games using the External Extension Connector available, and you can normally use the e-Reader accesory as well. When you turn on the GameCube with the GB Player and a cartridge game inserted on the GB Player (not the GB Advance), you'll see the game's startup screen as you will normally do with your GB Advance console, this time the display is transferred to the larger TV screen and surrounded by a graphical frame. The games simply look wonderful, sharp and colorful. All the details that you simply miss in the limited GB Advance display screen are shown here on the big TV screen. I was expecting blocky, low-resolution graphics, but I was really surprised at the sharpness these Advance games have, even on larger screens. You can play with a GameCube controller or use the GB Advance as a controller (provided that you have a GC/GB Advance cable). The Z button on the GC controller opens up the GB Player special options. Special Options include: - Frame Settings: There are 20 different and colorful frames to choose from - Screen Size - You can have Full Size screen or Normal Viewing (a larger frame borders your game) - Controller - This option tells the GB Player your button location preferences to take advantage of the additional buttons that the GC controller provides - Screen Filter - This option adjusts image quality - Timer - You can set a time reminder with a sound and a message on screen ("Time's up kiddo, dinner's ready") - Change Game Pak - You are allowed to "hot-swap" your game paks, meaning that you do not need to turn off the power to switch games. This was a great addition to my gaming "kingdom", I definitely recommend it.
