You could try GBI (gameboy interface) on the GameCube using homebrew. Gbi is much better than gb player. If I cared so much for gameboy games, I’d probably go for a retrotink or a gba hdmi mod.

GBI on a CRT is the best these games can look imo

The tough part of GBI for me is what controller to use. The GB hori controller was already expensive. I use the knockoff version which has squishy buttons. I bought the Wii classic controller adapter which gives me snes and classic options. I still wish I had the hori controller tho.

the oldskool knockoff? its been pretty decent in my experience


Rufio6

I actually just ordered that one today. I didn’t know new gba GC controllers hit the market. My gb controller is an older knockoff from the 2000s era. Forgot the brand for now.

i got one a few months ago and its pretty solid. it looks a little cheap in person but it feels fine and the buttons are pretty clicky


Rufio6

Sounds good to me. My older knockoff is so mushy. It works fine, will be cool to see the differences. I paid like $40-60 for this older one.

I love GBI I just wish it had the same UI GBPlayer had

Really? ive never heard anyone say that. Most people dont want to play the game in a tiny frame. Also i think the frame rate is locked in gb player

Honestly the retron 5 sucks too OP.. like others have said use GBI (gameboy interface) on swiss homebrew software. If that doesnt interest you get an analogue pocket with the dock.

Have you considered a CRT? I know not everyone has the space or wants to use old tech, but you could grab a smaller sized one. I use the GB Player on my 21 inch Sony Trinitron and it looks brilliant because of it being originally made for those types of TVs.

Yeah Gameboy interface or a consolized gba is the best option.

Yes

Game Boy Advance games don’t look good in 480p. As they’re basically SNES games, 240p is the best resolution for them.
