Game Boy

The Game Boy Player plays Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games on the Nintendo GameCube, and it was the last official hardware solution for playing original Game Boy cartridges on a successor console.

The unit (DOL-017) plugs into the high-speed port under the GameCube and needs a boot disc (DOL-006). It does not emulate the Game Boy; instead it contains hardware almost identical to the Game Boy Advance. It joins the Super Game Boy and Transfer Pak in the collection's group of cross-console adapters.
