The (DOL-017) is a device made by
Nintendo for the
Nintendo GameCube which enables
Game Boy,
Game Boy Color, or
Game Boy Advance cartridges (although
Super Game Boy enhancements are ignored) to be played on a
television. It was the last Game Boy-based add-on to a Nintendo console. It connects via the high speed parallel port at the bottom of the GameCube and requires use of a boot disc to access the hardware. Unlike devices such as Datel's Advance Game Port, the Game Boy Player does not use software emulation, but instead uses physical hardware nearly identical to that of a Game Boy Advance.
