The "Advance Game Port" is made by Datel and was (at some point) sold at Bestbuy and most game stores. However, since the Revolution will emulate the Gamecube, I don't think that anyone for certain can predict if this item will work properly for it. It will for sure plug in to the memory card slots, but will it actually work?

I got the datel one from BB for like 15 bucks after GGC and it being on clearance. It works pretty well, but I can't compair it to a real GBA player. I've never been able to find a web site that compairs the two. On the plus side yout Datel one lets you have cheats and I think it even does saves states. I'm not sure everything it does since I've been too busy playing games to use it much.

The Datel one plays only GBA games, and there are a few GBA games it doesn't work correctly with. Reviews have said the emulation is not as good as the Nintendo GB player. It sounds like it may work fine for many GBA games, though.

The Nintendo GB player plays *all* gameboy games, including GB and GB color games.

I've seen them at TRU before.
My opinion is that you should just keep the GC and keep the official GBA player.

This is a reposting from March.

You should do what I did:

I was in GS to look for used player's guides.

I hear this guy trying to get cash for a trade-in . . . no go, they'll give him a voucher to get cash later . . . says he's desperate. As he leaves . . . I asked what he had in the bag . . . clerk says we should step outside.

He has a gamecube gameboy player . . . some other stuff . . . I look, I had $15 in my wallet . . . I flashed it . . . not enough . . . I said $25. He waits in his car while I went into a Pick 'n Save grocery to ATM some cash.

I got out $30 to give him (added $5 . . . feeling kinda sorry for him). He's got a baby in a mini-van . . . says he needs cash to go get his wife who's car has a broken altenator . . . truth? I couldn't say.

Anyway for $30:
Gameboy Player (works in good shape) with plastic case for GC disc (disc in very good shape) and instructions.
Zelda Minish Cap (new/mint with box, instructions, and inserts)
Metroid Fusion (cart only so-so label)
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga (cart only so-so label)
251 memory card (black Nintendo empty but works)

He threw in (maybe because I gave him the extra $5?)
Minish Cap player's guide (beat up but intact)
Prima Metorid Prime/Fusion guide
007 Agent Under Fire (GC disc only in generic case looks playable)
Prima 007 Agent Under Fire guide
Resident Evil Preview disc (with GC game case)
