ATTENTION MISINFORMED YOUNGINS

there is a difference between GB games and GBC games.

GB games were universal to all gameboys up to GBA micro

GBC games were universal to gameboys between color and micro



In the image above, the first game is a GB game (characterized by the indented corner and concave grip)

the 2nd game is a GBC game (with a raised grip and translucent plastic)

now you know things, thanks for reading.

*gasp* Surely you're joking! This discovery could change all of human life as we know it! Does Nintendo know about this!?

One weird thing though is that certain games have certain colors programmed.

Balloon Kid and Warioland, both on GB have different colors when put in a GBC. Instead of the icky all green background sprites and red main sprites. Balloon Kid is all red and Warioland is Grey, except the main sprites are red.

Mario Land 2 does have more than two colors.

you seemed to have left out gba games, which only work on the gba to ds lite.


LOL, when did stunky go moderator?

Glad I wasn't been misinformed since my sixteen years of life.

[Logman]

Good to know I mean I did own each of those and games for all. Except I never owned a micro...

There's also the difference that GBC games work on the original DS, and GBA.

Is there a difference between GBA and GBA SP games, too?

If you hold down the B button and press the directional pad when you first turn on the handheld (When the Game Boy logo comes on), it changes the general color of the game if it is a GB game.

Doesn't work for GBC games though.
