Been thinking about getting one of these since it is very easy to use without the startup disc. Are there any hiccups that should be noted with these?

>> No.8054505

Nope. It's actually my most used item for GCB. I got rid of it all when I didn't want to go back to hang with my monster tit gf after I found out she was an empty shell of a person (adopted).

Just trying to say you can just leave it wherever, emulation is better in all regards.

>> No.8054563

How much would you pay the player? I heard people say the Super Game Boy is better, but obviously it can't play GBA games.

>> No.8054606

>>8054563
With the Gameboy Interface software, I'd say the Gameboy Player is better overall. The Super Gameboy gives you more control over color palette, but that's it. Also if it's not a Super Gameboy 2, the image will stutter.

You'll probably want to play with borders because the GBA wasn't a 4:3 system. I don't think I ever found any other hiccups.

>> No.8055195

The Super Gameboy is superior in terms of playing back original GB games because of unique colour pallets and borders, but the GB Player + GBI software is otherwise so versatile you should honestly have both if you're a gameboy fan.

>> No.8055291

Just a quick question, is the PAL startup disc rare? I bought the player and disc like 8 years ago for 10 euros, never used the disc just GBI.

I hope you slapped those titties around at least. I wanted a gamecube back in the day, I had a wii with a gamecube controller eventually at least.

the cube's d-pad is almost vestigial. it's small, stiff, poorly positioned, and not well suited for precision gaming AT ALL.
otherwise the player is pretty sweet. i just didn't get much use out of it because of the d-pad

pretty much everything homebrew/mod related to the gamecube is thought for NTSC, PAL seems like an after thought

no s-video output, you should think as PAL gamecubes as 576i only... it's a nightmare, and thank fuck i'm over it now

Are you saying she's an empty shell because she was adopted, or are you throwing in she was adopted as an extra insult? Neither really makes sense.

>> No.8058291

>>8055302
Nope, lots of nigs harassed her trying to titty fuck her. So when I actually lifted her shirt and put my hands on her tits she wanted to stop in like 20 seconds after. I always tried to get her bra off too and she stopped me, and when braless said "don't try to cop a feel" a lot. I see her years later, reduction. It's a shame lots of girls are so sensitive about it, I want a girl with big uns but they just get harassed all the fucking time for sex but spooks.
>>8058236
Adopted people are very emotionally. . . disconnected. Way more so than an autist, this especially goes for women since they are usually very socially capable, so when they're fucked up by an adoption it really hurts their functioning because they stack a lot of other objects on their social ability.

That's really the question. Sounds like it's a reasonable deal for you. There's no absolute worth other than what they're asking for it and whether it's worth it to you.

No anon, he said his Glacier GBA. So I guess his connectors are fucked or something, which I only figured would happen if you let batteries blow up in them.

I loved using this as a young teen but I can't will myself to anymore because of how much I hate the d-pad on gamecube. Is there an off brand controller to remedy that or am I better off emulating on pc with a preferred controller?

You're quite welcome.
Raphnet adapters work really well, but for full disclosure you could also get a Hori GB Player controller (prohibitively expensive these days though) or use an actual GBA via a link cable (might not be much better than the gamecube D-pad).

Personally though I'd probably just get a classic controller adapter, because even if you don't like the feel of the original CC or CC Pro you can use a SNES classic pad because those share the same port.
