I had one as a kid. If I want to play my GBA carts, I can use a DS-Lite that I have.

Two of 'em – a regular, and an SP. Had to open both of them up to clean out the power switch. So bothersome.
I got the regular one mostly because it was dirt cheap and I heard it was the ideal way to play games on the Game Boy Player. (Why the heck isn't there a cheap knockoff of the digital Hori pad!? I guess you can get one of those raphnet adapters, but even those are still a little expensive.)
I went through a lot of trouble trying to find a splitter for the SP that would let me simultaneously plug in a power adapter and a pair of headphones before I finally figured out the power switch thing.
Of course I hardly touch either of them now. Who plays games anymore?

I had a Black GBA back in 2005. Someone stole it when I took it to school.
I then had a Clear Pink GBA couple months later. Had to sell it alongside many games (Zelda Oracle of Seasons, Bomberman Max Red, MegaMan 3, Mario Golf, a 16-in-1 GB cartridge, Super Mario Advance 4, Mario Pinball Land, KOF Howling Blood, SSX3, Medal of Honor Underground).
Then I found a White GBA in 2014 or so, it didn't worked, recently threw it away.
RetroArch-Wii is my way to play GBA.

Used to own an SP, loved it. But sold it back then to get a DS Lite (which I still own in working condition). Never knew anyone else who had one, so no cable link loss for me, although I do miss the format, can't bother to spend $100+ in getting something else, when there are better options (ds lite or 3DS for me).
At "this stage of your life", you've only got a Gameboy color??? You've GOTTA be, what, 7, 8 years old?
No offense dude, but you gotta branch out and get AT THE VERY MINIMUM a home gaming console, because if you only have a Gameboy color, you're missing out on all the fun!
I had a OG GB (gray brick), GB micro, GBA SP, GBA advance x2, a DS phat etc
Family home was lost for various reasons so anything I have I went back and bought later or got as a gift
Ah OK cool, you had me going there for just a bit...

Sucks when a hand-held gaming unit dies. I think we can both agree on that...
Never. But playing GBA games on DS was native, not emulated. I only just modded my 3DS, I think that's technically still native (open_agb_firm) rather than emulation. On Wii, it's emulation.
I mention this because this thread made me think it's curious how frequently hardware-enabled GBA game support is, preempting the need for emulation.

Oh and by the way, I own a GBA. I've not touched it since I discovered touching myself, but I still own it.
Additionally, I use "mGBA" on my PS VITA to emulate most GBA games that I have, own or never got to play...

I have been feeling pretty normal. I am stooped after stream-playing Metroid Zero Mission and now I am just doing whatever right now. -

DragonMals:
I have plans to finish the rest of the Metroid Series, and originally I was going to play NESTroid as it's the first one but it's too hard.

@DragonMals, Zero Mission is a remake of nestroid so atleast you might be familiar with the map layout or idk -
@
DragonMals:
You might be right with that one, but NESTroid's layout is a lot different in structure than Zero Mission. Not to mention the engnie being abysmal to play as.

@DragonMals, ohkay... Also after beating Zero Mission I might play am2r (I'd play the 3ds metroid 2 remake but my 3ds is broken although I will try to repair it when I get the chance)
