Alternative GameCube GBA Adapter Launched

An anonymous reader writes "GamesIndustry.biz has the scoop that Datel will be launching an alternative GameBoy Advance player for the GameCube, an unofficial third-party device that plugs into the memory slot of the GameCube. The Advance Game Port will be smaller than the official GameBoy Player, and play GBA games only, but is cheaper (30 GBP) then the Nintendo version (40 GBP)." No word on US release, but it's interesting to speculate/dream that Datel could theoretically make devices to adapt other Nintendo systems to GameCube.

Size has nothing to do with it. Its the fact that the memory card slots are not intended to be high-bandwidth ports to pump video output from a gba processor. That device is most likeley a fancy cart reader that makes the gba game show up as blocks on a memory card. The boot disk would then read the rom in and start emulation.
