The Universal Game Link cable makes it possible to connect machines with different "EXT." connecting sockets (big or small). This allows two people to play two-player games. Both players must insert copies of the same Game Pak into their Game Boy, and the Pak must have a two-player mode (the packaging of these games is marked with the appropriate symbol). The Universal Game Link cable is connected to the right side of Game Boy through the socket provided for it. The cable is about 0.9 m long. At the end there is a (small) connection for the
- Game Boy Printer
- Game Boy Color
- Game Boy Pocket
- Game Boy Advance
At the other end are two different connections (big and small). One is for the "EXT." jack of the
- Game Boy Printer
- Game Boy Pocket
- Game Boy Color
- Game Boy Advance
and the other is for the "EXT." jack of the Game Boy.
Note:
Connect only one machine at the end of the cable with the two connections.
This accessory has been replaced by the Universal Game Link Cable set.
From Wikipedia
The second generation started with the release of the Game Boy Pocket which used a much smaller Game Link connector than those used on the original Game Boy. Although the pin assignment and basic port shape remained the same, its much smaller size necessitated the release of new Game Link Cables.
The Universal Game Link Cable (model MGB-010) features the smaller second generation connector on one end, and the cable splits into both a second generation and first generation connector at the other end (although only one connector at this end can be used at any given time).
13 games are compatible with the Game Boy game link universal game link cable
Nintendo 64 Transfer Pak
Pokemon Blue Version Specific Peripheral Functions
Using the Transfer Pak you can transfer Pokémon from the Game Boy/Game Boy Color games; Pokémon Blue, Red and Yellow versions to use your trained Pokémon in battles in-game in Pokémon Stadium.
Also, you can play the Game Boy/Game Boy Color games on the Nintendo 64. This method of play transfers your save to the Nintendo 64 and plays emulated versions of the Pokémon games. These are the only games that were playable via the Transfer Pak as it is unable to be used like a Super Game Boy.
Specifications
Serial Number: NUS-019From Wikipedia
The Transfer Pak is an accessory that plugs into the controller and allows the Nintendo 64 to transfer data between its own games and Game Boy or Game Boy Color games. The Transfer Pak has a Game Boy Color slot and a part that fits onto the expansion port of the N64 controller. It was included with the game Pokémon Stadium, as the game's main feature is importing Pokémon teams from Game Boy titles.
Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2 are games that rely heavily on the Transfer Pak. Pokémon Stadium also includes a "GB Tower" mode for playing Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow directly on the N64 via a built-in Game Boy emulator (which includes unlockable "Doduo" and "Dodrio" modes which speed up the game by a factor of 2 and 3, respectively). The Stadium games are the exception, as normally it is not possible to actually play Game Boy games on the N64 with the Transfer Pak, as is possible with the Super Game Boy on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
The Japanese version of the Game Boy Camera can be connected to the Mario Artist series. Both Mario Golf and Mario Tennis make use of the Transfer Pak. Rare's Perfect Dark was initially going to be compatible with the Transfer Pak in order to use pictures taken with the Game Boy Camera to create characters with real-life faces, but this function was removed from development after the attacks at Columbine High School and a wave of anti-violent video game sentiment; the Transfer Pak is usable only in combination with the Game Boy Color version of Perfect Dark for unlocking bonuses.
