Gameboy Player w/ Startup Disc

The Game Boy Player is Nintendo's official accessory that attaches to the bottom of your GameCube, allowing you to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games on your television . Rather than software emulation, the Game Boy Player uses physical hardware nearly identical to a Game Boy Advance, ensuring accurate compatibility with virtually the entire Game Boy library . The device is region-free – units will work on any GameCube regardless of region – but the startup disc is region-locked and must match your console . This listing includes both the Game Boy Player hardware and the required startup disc.

What's Included

• Game Boy Player (Attachable bottom unit)

• Game Boy Player Start-Up Disc

Note: This accessory is authentic Nintendo hardware, professionally cleaned, and fully tested. The startup disc is required for operation – the Game Boy Player will not function without it .
