Loading the data on this card starts an alternative player that lets you play GBA, Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. It requires a working copy of one of the games listed below.

This listing is for a memory card that allows you to boot your Gameboy Advance Player on your GameCube without the need for a Gameboy Player boot disc. Also note a DS consolizer will be coming at some point that will be able to play GBA games as well.Item: 174335436132 GameCube Gameboy Player Disc Alternative - Replacement Nintendo. You can always try a Gameboy Player and see how you like it first before investing in the consolizer. What, $20-30 for a Gameboy Player without the startup disc, versus ~$140 for the GBA Consolizer? I'm fine with a complicated GBI setup to save some money and skip having another HDMI device plugged in, but you might prefer the simplicity of using the consolizer.

I'm also unsure if the Gamecube's 4:2:2 chroma subsampling affects GBA output- I think Extrems has made it a non-issue.Īgain I think it comes down to cost. GBI can't quite 100% match the GBA's refresh rate, so I'm fairly certain it will duplicate a frame every 10-15 seconds or so (much less noticeable than the original software), or use frame interpolation depending on which options/version you use. You definitely want to use the RGB output going into the OSSC combined with GBI's 360p mode, if that's the route you end up going. However, it's now an analog signal compared to the pure digital of the GBA Consolizer. However, the GCDual does also output RGB so the output would be RGB -> OSSC. The GCDual supports HDMI but it's only 480p so the OSSC can't upscale it. Sorry, yeah I do mean the GBA Consolizer.
