I might eventually because there are some other uses, but I wanted to go with what I had.

Personally I didn't feel like buying that thing. Once you have it, you transfer the Gameboy Interface program to a SD card and put it in the 'SD Card/Memory Card-adapter', then put the SD Media Launcher Boot Disc in and simply start the app using a nice list view. Personally, I used my hacked Wii and the app GCMM to copy over a hacked Zelda: The Wind Waker save file which can be used to launch homebrew.Īnother alternative, which is much easier, is to buy the SD Media Launcher which is a little package of a memory card with a SD card slot and a disc that any GameCube can boot (I am not sure how that is possible.) One thing you need is some way to get custom save files on a memory card for your GameCube. It's actually very easy and anyone can do it, as long as you have the right tools. It is basically a Homebrew replacement for the official boot disc, but it even has more features and improvements.įor example, video quality is better with it, as the official disc will make it display in 480i or 480p (but with some weird softening filter as I understand it), but GBI can output 240p which is very nice for CRT's and upscalers such as the Framemeister. (The Gameboy Player hardware itself is very easy to find and since the hardware itself is region free, you can get it from anywhere, very cheaply.)īut recently, there has been some development on this front, namely the Gameboy Interface or shortened GBI. I've always wanted a Gameboy Player, but I was always discouraged by how expensive the boot discs were. And I decided to get a Gameboy Player with it.
