A quick GBA to Gameboy Player question

Post by newt42 »

When using your GBA as a controller for the Gamecube's GBA Player, will the gameplay show up on the GBA screen as well as on the TV screen, or will it only show up on the TV?
Systems: SNES, PS1, GBA SP, Gamecube, DS Lite, Wii, PS3 (Fully Backwards Compatible), Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, a Sega CD, and a Sega Saturn.

GBA cart plugged in the GBA Player, only on the TV.

Wait a minute, you can use the GBA as a controller for the GBP?

Yep. I owned my GBP for about 3 years before I found out. Accidentally.

Really makes me wish I hadn't sold off my comfy grip, original model GBA.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

and in some games, like Activision Anthology you can use a GCN controller as player one and a GBA can be used as player one via the GBA link port. ;)
