-   -   Are you getting the Game Boy Player? (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=104)

Kairi September 6th, 2003 5:17 PM

No, I prefer the emulator and the carts on the Gameboy. Playing on the TV is far inferior from play on the PC, and the GBA SP for portiblity.

Arcanine September 6th, 2003 5:22 PM

Nope im not getting one, im going to get me a Flame GBA SP.

Sage September 6th, 2003 7:26 PM

I liked the thing with Pokémon Stadiums 1 and 2, where you could just upload stuff to there. Plus with that, if someone came over and started playing a 1-player game on GCN, you could just go play a game on GB, instead of having to rely on vacancy of the GCN to play.

I'm half asleep. I sound weird with words. oo;

Drakken September 6th, 2003 9:00 PM

I got one, Plus I am getting the SP =P

pika12 September 6th, 2003 9:35 PM

Amoblaz September 7th, 2003 1:26 AM

Lol, i would buy one... IF......... I had a NGC

silverblade September 7th, 2003 7:44 AM

I want to choose that I have a gba SP AND a Gameboyplayer

Haruka September 7th, 2003 2:18 PM

I am not going to get one. It's extra for me... because I have a GBA SP! It does the same thing except it doesn't how big. *hugs GBA SP*

Miyu-chan September 7th, 2003 11:41 PM

No, I'm not getting it...Maybe I'll save some money to buy GBA SP instead... XD

G-LANCE September 9th, 2003 6:59 PM

I got one, it's okay i guess. not worth the 50 bucks though *sigh*. I'm waiting for winter break so i can go to the Tokyo Pokecenter. GBA SP here i come!

Avatar September 10th, 2003 8:20 AM

I dont really, care my regular GBA, is fine, i wouldnt waste extra money just to play GBA games, :rolleyes:

Rukario September 10th, 2003 8:36 AM

I choose to emulate.. Unless some one wants to be nice and send me a GBA SP (black) :)

RocketShadow September 10th, 2003 3:20 PM

I would get it if I had the money but I don't so I'll wait to see if you can play it while playing Colliseum (like with Stadium's GB Tower) since I already have the GBA-GCN Link Cable...

Hay Steve ill send you a GBA SP (Onix), if you send me a GBA SP (Flame) XD.

G-LANCE September 10th, 2003 3:48 PM

All you guys are lucky, i don't even know how to emulate.
Do u needa download somethin?

Kairi September 10th, 2003 7:04 PM

You may want to check the ROMs section, but...

Yes, you download a program that emulates the functions of a Gameboy Advance. Then you get the raw dumps of cartridges called "ROMs" and run them in the emulator. There's a lot more you can do on the ROMs like extract music and pictures, use codes easily and view the raw game data, but ROMs are illegal. When some people get the ROM, they don't pay for the game, and Nintendo loses money.

Haruka September 11th, 2003 11:52 AM

So you should get the game and the rom. They won't lose mnoey then.. :D..

I got ruby and my sister has saphire... I can emulate both since my family own them.

Rift September 11th, 2003 6:49 PM

I already have a SP and anyway...me dont gots a GC! :( but i wish i had one cause i lllloooovvveeee the games they have out know!

Kenta September 12th, 2003 1:48 PM

I might get one when my friend buys a Gamecube(you get it free)

he has no Gameboy Games

I told him I would pay $20 for it

I hope I get it that way :classic:

Rift September 13th, 2003 12:20 PM

Tahts pretty awesome Kenta! :)

G-LANCE September 17th, 2003 2:20 AM

i agree.
but it is kinda tight when i go to my grandparent's house (they just got an HDTV, YES)
so i take it back, it was worth the 50 bucks.

Kairi September 17th, 2003 5:49 AM

HDTVs get the most benefit if you have a GCN or Xbox and a component video cable. You can take advantage of progressive scan, and that is so much clearer than normal TVs.

mewtwo-EX September 17th, 2003 4:37 PM

Not to sound snooty, but I have the GBA, GBASP, and GBP. The SP and GBP are the best, SP for school, trips and bed, with the GBP for taking screenshots, playing games with small important things and just having the game on a large screen with surround sound.

Sudowoodo_prince September 27th, 2003 5:18 PM

Nah, I don't have enough money. I don't think I do...But I'm going to get a p.s.one and a mini-t.v when Christmas comes with my money. I have about $210 at the moment.
I guess I probably could get a s.p if I wanted to with that money.

EDIT: Wait a second...What kind of game boy player? The s.p?
All I have at the moment is a Game boy colour.

Blaziken September 30th, 2003 8:45 AM

Already got one! Love playing Pokemon Sapphire and Golden Sun on it! ;D

pokemon706 January 3rd, 2004 7:09 AM

Steve you are probally the oldest person here, so wouldn't it be easy for you to buy an sp? I mean you make more than any of us here right? Oh prolly not ;)

Arwen January 4th, 2004 4:43 PM

I have a Gamecube now, but I personally don't need one...

(I don't use my GBA SP anymore... I use my PDA instead... )

punkie90 January 4th, 2004 4:44 PM

I don't get it. What can u use your pda for that your sp can?

Arwen January 4th, 2004 7:09 PM

1 thing..... Play mp3s.... :P....

(well, theres lots to do... incuding games.)

flygonruler1 January 6th, 2004 8:48 PM

dont know I already posted but I got one with my gamecube

Ultimathunder January 7th, 2004 3:26 AM

I don't know about the Player...I prefer to wait for collisium to come out and just link with that I have the cables anyway...I don't wish to play any other GBA games on a wide screen for such a price...I'll just stick to normal GBA

StarLightUmbreon January 7th, 2004 3:36 PM

Well i have GBA, GBA SP, GC, and the Game boy player for GC. I diidnot mean to get all of hten but i got them as Birhtday gifts and X-Mas gifts. I told them i likethat stuff buti diidno tthink that would happen. I'm getting the cables for GBA to play Collosum(sp) and all the other games that need it though.

Phantom Angel January 11th, 2004 8:04 AM

No, I am not going to get it.(why get it if I already have one?)
I still prefer Emulator.
Because I can track the pic.
Play on Emulator > Play on Game Boy Player > Play on GBA SP > Play on GBA

Kairyu January 11th, 2004 8:34 AM

Bwahaha, I got both the GBA SP (black) and a GBA Player. But I hardly use the player though, I might end up trading it in eventually. Reason is usually I only play my GBA games when I have absoluty nothing else to do at work or if I'm in one of those long plane/car trips. None of which those situations involve me staying at home to make use of the GBA player :\.

Not fundamentally. I think the GBA is one of the top platforms, outselling even the PS2. It has a lot of solid games that can focus more on gameplay, since the graphics are less of a concern. Easy multiplayer rand linking with the GCN adds to the fun. Not to mention portability and a nice interface.

Arwen January 12th, 2004 1:42 PM

Well, I used to play GBA games but they got incredabally boring after awhile... Gamecube games never bore me out like GBA games because they are more exciting.

awkwardsilencer April 22nd, 2004 8:41 PM

i need to get a gba sp for when leaf green comes out, and so i can connect with colliseum, and ruby, and get my jirachi finally lol

awkwardsilencer April 22nd, 2004 8:43 PM

sorry for double post but, dude gba games...s...u...c...k... they only have good rpgs, and thats it
