Well, this is certainly a unique product. InsideGadgets have created a device that allows you to play your PC, SNES, or Gamecube games using a Gameboy as a controller. Sounds pretty nifty, right? Well, it sure is, but is it actually that useful as a controller, or is it just a gimmicky piece of plastic that you would quickly shelve? Check out our official GBAtemp review, and give us your thoughts on the product!

Eh, some people probably love playing on the original system but with a bigger screen.

 

[Oron Gefen]

I mean this is definitely interesting, but original hardware is the best!

Eh, the gb screen is pretty shit.

 

[DaFixer]

That sound very cool.
Playing tetris on a bigger screen, whit the GB as controller is a cool idea.

 

[Catastrophic]

It's interesting, but seems awfully redundant considering you're only getting like a NES controllers worth of buttons.

i guess you guys missed the point? or didnt read it?
this is a way to use a gameboy as a wireless controller.
it's now a way to stream a game into the gb or something like that if you guys tought. its just using the gb as a controller

Gameboy cart allows you to control PC, GameCube, or SNES games with your old-school handhelds.

A capture card is more appropriate then, isn't it?

Yea, you download the gb rom, you use a evil emulator, then you use this.

It's sad that I destroyed my original gameboy 20 years ago trying to fit gba cartridges in it.

So you destroyed your gameboy in 1999, 2 years before the gba came out? With gba games? d:

 

[Bladexdsl]

how you going to play games properly with just 2 buttons? most games wouldn't even work your definitely not playing any GameCube games with it. it's a neat idea but not very practical. hope they aren't planning to make $ from this

You are right , I said 20 years in a way of saying "many many years ago", I got my first GB when pokemon red was released, then I got my first GBA with warioland 4 and it was at that time when I tried to fit the gba cartridges in the GB slot, I cut the back of the GB with a saw and when I tried to fit the cartridge in.... well, it didn't work, so.... I took all the pieces apart and threw everything in a box, and I don't remember where I put it.

Thats some cute logic right there.

Still. Wonder if that GB is really broken. Probably just a port to be replaced.

I totally agree that 2 buttons is really not enough but they've made a GBA version of this which allow the use of L+R buttons
Tons of games are playable with 4 buttons

 

[Captain_N]

I would be interested in this if it was also a flash cart that can copy roms to itself over a wifi network...

 

[TheZander]

I cannot believe I've lived this long without it

 

[Naster]

If only it would allow to stream actual gameplay to PC.

 

[Daisy]

Holy! Recording gameplay from original GB/C without Super GB and GB Player is a dream!

I mean, this just makes the GB act as a controller. You still use an emulator to play the games.
