How to Make a Game Boy Into a Media Player

A Nintendo Game Boy can do much more than just play games--it can also be used as a media player for listening to music, looking at images and watching videos. This requires the use of the GBA Movie Player that plugs into the Game Boy. Because the GBA Movie Player is a hardware device, the Game Boy is not opened up or the warranty voided when in use.
