"Datel has been working on an alternative to Nintendo's Game Boy Player, which allows you to play Game Boy games on the GameCube.
Datel's "Advance Game Port" will be smaller and cheaper than Nintendo's, costing £29.99. It will fit into the memory card slot and allow Game Boy games to be plugged into that." - Cube Europe.
Also, this thing only plays GBA games, not GB/GBC ones.
Wouldn't touch anything made by Datel myself anyway, they make half-effort products.
Otherwise I won't be getting one.
But Datel make pretty good quality stuff, I would warn people away from stuff made by Blaze though. Have Blaze changed their name? If so could someone let me know what they've become so I can continue to avoid them?
*Remembers buying 3 8mb Blaze memory cards for N64 and them all dying VERY quickly indeed*

Now I never need another GC memory card ever. Although I already had 5.
