Question for any GCN Gameboy Player owners/collectors....

[Orzunoid]

I've just learned about this wonderful piece of hardware and am really interested in picking one up for some classic GB and GBC playing.  I'd also like to have the option of firing up carts from other regions.  From what I understand, using the Gameboy Player is the best way to play GB/GBC/GBA games on a tv.  I also learned that it requires a "boot disc". 

My question for you experts out there is whether I need to get a Japanese "boot disc" to play the Japanese carts with the US/NA hardware?  Or would I have to buy a separate GBP for each region with its corresponding disc?  I'm not even sure if each region has it's own hardware but I suppose it shouldn't surprise me... thanks guys

The boot discs are region coded to run on the gamecube, just like a normal GC game.

The GameBoy games have never been region locked, however the switch on the original fat Game Boy kept US players from sticking in Japanese cartridges.  DS is also region free.  DSi is the first Nintendo portable to be locked.

Ah thanks!  So, if I understand you correctly, I should be able to play GB carts from any region on a US/NA GBP with a US/NA boot disc as long as it's hooked up to a US/NA GCN.

You got it.
