Play GameBoy games on your NES

It's a pretty impressive piece of hardware and appears to be well made (though the PCB should be covered at the Gameboy cartridge socket), but $130 is awfully steep when compared to a SNES with a Super GameBoy.

Very cool...  so tempted to waste my money.  Looks very professional.

But the NES can't even handle the sound.  You have to plug in headphones into the cartridge itself.

Interesting, but I am pretty happy with my Super Gameboy.

Well, you could go to the cellphone shack and get one of those headphone > RCA adapters, and combine it with the Audio Out of the NES with another adapter.

Unless you're still using RF, in which case quit that!

True that. especially regarded to the fact, that those cost about only 1/130 of what that NES counterpart does.

The audio would be able to go through the Famicom's audio output albeit in mono.  They changed the NES to remove the audio input pins from the cart port because we in the US didn't want awesome Castlevania 3 audio.

I saw someone with one of these at the CCAG, not for sale of course, but it was neat.


Too expensive though.  It's more of a novelty because of the Super Gameboy, as mentioned.

Wrong. The SFC & GB Player is

1. cheaper
2. more authentic
3. much better picture (via RGB)
4. has the better pad (& better optional pads)

You forgot one:

5.  Doesn't require owning a f*cking GameCube.

[Arkhan]

but then how do you play GBA?

I have a GC, GB Player, and Hori GB Player controller (which also works pretty great for VC games on the Wii) and I love it. With component video it looks pretty great. It also puts out stereo sound though the TV, and plays every generation of GB game.

These days I'm pretty sure you can get all of this, plus a few games, for less than $130. What is a Gamecube worth, $5?

Dunno the picture with a gc&gb player has been fine for me.

Btw i do run it through component not to mention the hori gameboy player controller is sweet.
