This product is build to order, usually within 2-5 days

Play games on your PC, laptop, RPi, etc or play your Gamecube, Wii (using the GC port) or the Super Nintendo wirelessly using any Gameboy of your choice (depends on the transmitter you purchase).

You will need a cart and receiver as a minimum to get started. You can have multiple receivers per cart and you can use the same receiver for either the GB or GBA TX cart. Any receivers/transmitters you purchase will be paired together. If you are unsure about your use case, please send us a quick email to support@insidegadgets.com.

Receivers available:

USB-A receiver

• Use cases: Play games via emulation
• Supports: Any device accepts a USB HID Joystick/Gamepad interface such as a PC (Windows/Linux), Raspberry Pi (e.g running RetroPie), etc. Users have reported it works on the Game Boy core on the MiSTer and Android through USB OTG.
• Refresh rate: 8ms or 125 times a second (tested on Windows 7 & Ubuntu 18.04).

Gamecube receiver - Plugs into the Gamecube controller port

• Use cases: Play Gamecube games that only need the B/A buttons but even more useful is if you would like to play Gameboy games on the Game Boy Player or Virtual Console games/Emulators on the Wii.
• Supports: Gamecube / Wii
• Refresh rate: Changes between 8 & 20ms which is controlled by the Gamecube itself.

Super Nintendo receiver - Plugs into the Super Nintendo controller port

• Use cases: Play SNES games that don't need the Y/X buttons (or change some of the button mappings at start up - check the "How to use" section). Play GBA games on the GBA Consolizer using a GBA as a controller. Play Gameboy games using the Super Game Boy.
• Supports: GBA Consolizer, Mayflash Controller Adapter for the Wiimote and SNES PAL/NTSC.
• Refresh rate: 16/20ms which is controlled by the Super Nintendo itself.

NES receiver (BYO cable only, connector is too large to ship)

• Use cases: Play NES games
• Supports: Mayflash Controller Adapter for the Wiimote (Has not been tested on an actual NES). The receiver has the 2 resistors which I believe should work on all NES consoles.

WiiMote Expansion Port receiver - Plugs into the WiiMote style expansion port and acts as a Classic Controller.

• Use cases: Play Wii games, virtual console games or games on emulators. Play games on the NES/SNES Classic Mini.
• Supports: Wii & NES/SNES Classic Mini (untested but should work).

Multi-RX receiver

Use adapter boards to change the connector, you will need a Base board and an adapter board as a minimum. Adapter boards options include: USB, NES, SNES, GC and WiiMote.

Transmitters available:

Gameboy TX cart

• Transmitted keys: Up, Down, Left, Right, Start, Select, B, A.
• Supports: Gameboy (DMG), Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy Advance and Gameboy Advance SP.
• Range: Tested indoors to be at least 8 metres line of sight.

• Supports: Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, Gameboy Micro, DS (untested but should work) and DS Lite.
• Range: Tested indoors to be at least 4 metres line of sight; you can increase the PPK to improve it slightly but it also depends on how the cart is oriented when playing (there can be some dead zones) and if your fingers/body is close to the wireless module.
• Refresh rate: Every 2ms, the keys are checked and a packet is transmitted to the receiver.

Please note that there is no encryption or security available for this device, while this should pose no issue for home users, it would be possible for an attacker to potentially take over your controls or block your control.

The Gameboy TX cart comes in a generic clear cartridge. GBA TX cart comes in a generic dark grey cartridge. Each unit is assembled in house and is tested on a Gameboy Advance. The PCB finish is ENIG with Gold fingers on the edge connector. You may hear some buzzing sounds coming from the speaker which is normal, it’s just the wireless packets being sent; it seems to sound louder on an original Gameboy.
