Depending on the games it is used with, the cable may facilitate transferring data between related games, unlocking additional content, or turning the GBA into a controller or [[second screen]].<ref name="Connecting to the Cube">{{Cite web |last=IGN Staff |date=September 14, 2001 |title=Connecting to the Cube |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/09/14/connecting-to-the-cube |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201128163844/https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/09/14/connecting-to-the-cube |archive-date=November 28, 2020 |access-date=August 7, 2020 |website=[[IGN]]}}</ref>
==Development==
The concept of a cable that allowed for the transfer of data and second-screen gameplay was originally conceived for the [[Nintendo 64]] as the "[[64 GB Cable]]",<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=January 1998 |title=新ゲーム創世記のＨｙｐｅｒ Ｇｅａｒｓ |url=https://archive.org/details/monthly-nintendo-power-vol.-0-january-1998/Monthly%20Nintendo%20Power%20-%20Vol.%200%20January%201998%20%28Compressed%29/page/n17/mode/2up |magazine=Monthly Nintendo Power |page=19 |quote=64GB ケーブル |trans-quote=64GB Cable |lang=ja}}</ref> a device designed by [[Marigul Management]] which would allow certain [[Nintendo 64DD]] games to connect to compatible [[Game Boy Color]] cartridges.<ref name="What">{{Cite web |last=IGN Staff |date=August 27, 1999 |title=What's DT, You Ask? |url=http://ign64.ign.com/articles/069/069944p1.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041220053459/http://ign64.ign.com/articles/069/069944p1.html |archive-date=December 20, 2004 |access-date=January 3, 2015 |website=[[IGN]]}}</ref> However, the device was never released—interactivity between Nintendo 64 and Game Boy games was limited to those that supported the [[Transfer Pak]], released in 1998.<ref name="Connecting to the Cube" />
==Compatibility==
===Systems===
The cable has one end that plugs into a GameCube controller slot and another end that plugs into the GBA's extension port. The cable is compatible with the GameCube and the [[Wii]] on the console side; and the Game Boy Advance, [[Game Boy Advance SP]], [[Game Boy Player]], and [[Nintendo e-Reader|e-Reader]] on the portable side. When used with the [[Game Boy Player]] accessory, the Game Boy Advance system can be used to control any Game Boy game played through the GameCube.<ref name=GBP/>
Because the [[Game Boy Micro]] has a differently-shaped link port, the official cable does not work with it, but enthusiasts have been able to hack together homemade versions which do.<ref>{{cite web | title=Got soldering skills? Then you can make a Game Boy Micro GC Link Cable | website=Siliconera | date=January 20, 2006 | url=https://www.siliconera.com/got-soldering-skills-then-you-can-make-a-game-boy-micro-gc-link-cable/ | access-date=July 28, 2025}}</ref> It is also incompatible with the [[Nintendo DS family]], as the original [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo DS Lite|DS Lite]]'s [[backwards compatibility]] for the Game Boy Advance does not extend to its accessories, lacking the necessary extension port.
===Games===
The following is a list of '''{{table row counter|id=softwarelist|ignore=1}}''' compatible GameCube games, with the corresponding Game Boy Advance (GBA) game or ''N/A'' if no GBA game is required.
