I fancy playing Chain of Memories again but I can't live looking at this tiny 6x3 screen they've put it on. xD

Is there anyway to hook it up to a laptop, or a television, so that I can still play it on the gameboy and see it on a bigger screen?
 
Well... if you've got a gamecube, you could purchase one of those attachments that lets you play GBA games on telly.

Otherwise... Visual boy advance, my friend. :monster:
 
ahh...I remember the old snes cartridge that let you play gameboy games with the snes.

I'm sure there are ways too hook up a gameboy to a tv or monitor. You could probably route it through your ps2 if the gba has a usb port. (I can't recall.) though that would be a bit of trouble. Otherwise that gamecube thing or playing the rom on an emulator (legal, since you actually own the game.) But I'm going to go out on a limb and say you don't have the reader to transfer gba games from the cartridge to your comp, so you'd have to buy that or start over.

Darn. I'm not familiar with the gba, there might be some way to hook it up yet. You might have to buckle down and buy something before you can comfortably play it on a bigger screen.
 
Unless you want to import KH2 FM and buy swap magic along with it.

If not, then Visual boy advance would work best. GP SP kai works well too.
 
A Game Boy Advance Emulator in which you can play Game Boy Advance games in your computer. I played several great games such as Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Sonic Advanced.

What is this Visual Boy of which you speak? =O

It's an emulator.

You know... play your games on the computer. The emulator itself is not illegal, but the ROMs you download to play are illegal if you don't actually own the game.

Also, if you want to play with a controller or something, I suggest stopping by the local radioshack and asking for a PSX to USB thingiemaboberz. That is, if you have radioshack over there. You could also get it off ebay pretty cheap.

Say at the most six or seven USD. Probably some number less over in your area. :wacky:
 
I do actually own a copy of the game. So what you're saying is I can download this Visual Boy character and play Chain of Memories on my computer?

How would one go about hooking it up, then? :wacky:
 
No hook ups, it's a program. Super easy to use, just google it and you can probably figure out the rest. Like I said, you can buy stuff to read gba cartridges and transfer roms to and from blank cartridges, but I have no idea how much it costs. You can also simply download the roms (illegal if you don't own the game, so according to the rules here no one can officially endorse it.) But since you own the game it's legal to have the rom on your computer.
 
Sounds like a pain in the ass to me. Personally, I'd buy a used gamecube for 20 bucks and a gameboy player for another 10.
 
There are websites I know, but it would be against the rules to give you the link.
All you do i type in Visual boy advance download on google, and download it.
Then type in download KH chain of memories rom. And it'll come up with loads of rom sites. Of course, since you own it it isn't illegal.
 
Before I go and do that (Derek has already provided me with a link, externally) I've heard that the local GAME store sells such TV adapters and so I'll try that first before I go downloading the game. Thanks for everyone's help, however. :neomon:
