I know someone who I think is selling his. (Not me. I'd never sell mine. :))

My Gameboy Player is the only reason my GC is still hooked up (I just use my Wii to play GC games). Frankly, once I got it my interest in GB/C/A games greatly increased.

Does anyone know if the Gameboy Player is compatible with games with extra internal hardware? For instance, could I play Kirby's Tilt 'N Tumble by shaking around my Gamecube?

Can't be good for the boot disc spinning inside the cube though. Also a strain on the power-video cables.

I thought it wasn't possible? I'm sure I read or heard that somewhere. Or maybe it's just "not possible" as in it would be completely stupid to do so :P

I think the gyro may interfere with the table, GC would have to be tilted or raised.

Waiting for mention of that sun activated Boktai game. :lol:

The disc actually only spins on boot -- you can remove it from the drive while you're using the player.
