I certainly hope it does let me use whatever saves I want on it.
In other news, just got a GBPlayer. Of all the things it DOES do, the real questions are what doesn't it do. First off, no it doesn't have the GBC infrared port :D, but I think we all knew that wouldn't be the case. Second off, something that was "iffy" to me, though I was REALLY hoping it would be there, SGB support. Nope, not a single drop of SGB support is to be found. The only colorizing for those old GB games, SGB mode on it or no, is the standard GBC stuff. So, no colorization, no special borders for those packs, and worst of all, none of those exclusive gameplay options for the old SGB designed games... That'll mean that a few old Bomberman games can't use the SGB multiplayer with one system and one gamepak mode, nor can my old game Space Invaders be able to use "true SNES mode", in which the border is done away with, and a whole SNES version of Space Invaders is dumped into the SNES via the SGB, with SNES quality graphics and sound and rotating and zoom effects and everything, for Space Invaders... I really wish Nintendo hadn't dissappointed on this. After all, the GBPlayer in and of itself is a purely luxery item anyway, so it should have luxery perks just like that. But there's still a chance it could be added. All that's needed is a special kind of software disk to be released where you choose to emulate SGB mode via an option when that particular disk is used. At the very least, I do actually HAVE an SGB, so I myself don't have too much to complain about as I can actually use the SGB modes.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
