The Datel Advance Game Port was a Game Boy Advance emulator for the Nintendo GameCube that allowed playing physical cartridges through a hardware peripheral. It also allowed creating cheats for Game Boy Advance games. Unlike the Game Boy Player, it uses software emulation, leading to compatibility problems with some games.
Emulation Information
IPL ROM Dump Required
Advance Game Port will always crash at boot or freeze in a black screen unless Skip BIOS is disabled and DSP LLE is selected. Skip BIOS can only be disabled if an IPL dump from a real GameCube is present in User/GC.
Problems
