I haven't had single compatibility problem yet. All games should work fine.

Oh, yeah, I forgot. Games like Guitar Hero won't work, because it needed a peripheral in the GBA slot.

It Guitar Hero is the only one that cant be played - because of the adapter. Arkanoid and Space Invaders can use a paddle controller (spinner) but it is not mandatory.

I bought it on a whim with Arkanoid. And realized that all these years it was the fact I was playing Arkanoid with a dpad is why I was terrible at it.
