Gameboy Micro $49.95 @ David Jones
I dunno if David Jones is in every state, or if it's a nation-wide sale, but I saw in a brochure this morning that the Gameboy Micro is $49.95 at David Jones at the moment. That's fucking rad.
What does it play? GBC, GBA, and GBSP games?

There is a four player Final Fantasy (in name only really) game that's really quite awesome, but you have to use a GBA as your controller with a cable plugged in between your Cube and your GBA (or SP).
There's also a four player Zelda game that's the same.
I'm wondering if the Micro has the port on top for plugging in the cube > gba cable basically

it plays GBA games only (if you didn't know, gba sp is the same system and will play the same games) - unless you use a flashcard and emulate them
no, it won't connect directly to the cube, but you can get an adaptor for the cables
so it'd be cube->cable->adapter->micro
i'm not sure i'd really want to play those two games that much, they're not that great
fun and all but nothing mind blowing, you know

If you don't allready own paper mario and you didn't buy it you are a retard total.
I am looking out for the DS version of FF:CC, I'm also looking out for the Rev version of FF:CC.
If I go to DJ's tonight and they have a cheap micro and Micro -> Cube connector cable I will probably buy it to replace my SP + connector cable, but if both of those things arn't in stock + cheap I'll just live with my crappy SP and DS lite.

First up, I don't think the Micro cables are purchasable locally - at least, I've never seen them, and I have been looking.
The thing you'll probably want is a convertor cable like this one:
http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?catego" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... s_id=7479&
That only turns a GB Micro's socket into a GBA/SP socket, you'll still need your GBA<->GBA link cable to link to a GBA/SP, or a GBA-GC link cable to link to a GC.
Secondly, if I recall correctly, NTSC Paper Mario is one of a handful of games that doesn't work properly through Freeloader. But it might be just the JP version. I know there was some crashing issue related to text display.
Edit: Yeah, sorry to scare you. It's only the JP version of Paper Mario that doesn't work properly with the Freeloader. The US version is fine.[/url]

Gah editing took longer than I intended - so to repeat my previous post - US Paper Mario is fine on freeloader, only the JP version is screwy. And I haven't tried using any AR codes on my only imported GC game, but my friend has used AR codes on JP games on his PAL Cube so yeah I'm pretty sure it works.
