Playing Game Boy games in black and white on GBA SP?

[Riqz85]

This just gives me an excuse to post my favorite GBA SP mod:

Thats rights boys and girls, a GBA SP in an original Gameboy shell. I thought about doing it until I realized that I would never play it thanks to the Gameboy player...

That mod is the shizzle!

just to note, I started this thread a while back:

"In addition, most Game Boy games published by Nintendo have a special palette that is enabled when no buttons are pressed. Any game that does not have a special palette will default to the dark green (Right + A) palette. Notable games that do have preset palettes are Metroid II: Return of Samus, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Super Mario Land, Tetris and the Wario Land series."

Thanks for this info! I wasn't aware you had control over the palettes on a GBC/GBA.

I had no idea that there was a way to change the palette! That's awesome.

Where's noiseredux!

surprisingly I never memorized the codes. I'm actually far too lazy, and generally just leave games on whatever the default pallet is.

I have to admit, the Left + B b/w pallet is great.

All I remember is pushing (I think) B + right for that messed up inverted pallette that just made everything impossible to play
