    Gamecube gameboy player question

    So I've been wanting to get a gameboy player again but it is a bit expensive. I've noticed japanese ones are a fair bit cheaper than the PAl ones. Obviously the start up disc is region locked so my question is this.
    If I buy a japanese gameboy player will I be able to boot it on a Pal gamecube using the freeloader? Gameboy games are region free and the gameboy player shares a lot of its hardware with the GBA so in theory this should work.

    Yes. But really question if you want to go that route. Put a want in the sales section and see what you get.

      Yeah, this is my setup. I have a stock PAL indigo GC, so to get a matching GB Player I had to get a JPN one.

      It's not great but it gets the job done. Plus at least the colours match!

      Incidentally, I control mine with a first generation GBA hooked up with a GBA -> GC cable. IMO that's the best way to control your GBA games on TV.

        Or a Hori Pad also works well. GBA plus cable is cheaper though
