that timer was great when I was a kid, I used to take my gamecube with gameboy player over to a group of friends and the timer would come in super handy, we used it to limit how long each person could play then when the timer ran out, the next person would player, and so on

Hello everyone! It's time for the sequel to the Super Game Boy episode. This time we are discussing the Game Boy Player. With a little homebrew help, it's the best way to play Game Boy games on your television. Currently working on a "big" episode for release next month! I'll have a few smaller ones in between. Enjoy your weekend! EDIT: In the video I mention Europe only got the Jet Black version. This is incorrect! They also got the purple version!
