I am not into handheld games, but my youngest grandson is. He wanted a Gameboy for his birthday and we got him one. The very first thing we had to do is help him, so we looked for how to connect gameboy to computer, so I looked at the directions, and it didnt help me much. I am just the one that buys them the gifts and not the one who can set them up. That is my grandsons job. His parents bought him, the oldest grandson, a GBA and the question was once again how to connect gba to computer? In case your wondering, GBA stands for Gameboy Advance, and I have no idea what the difference is between the two, other than the price. The Gameboys are a real life saver if your taking a long trip with your kids. They can play those things for hours and never get tired of it. We were all getting ready to go on vacation, and we were loking at a couple of days on the road, so the games came in real handy. I found out how to connect Gameboy to the computer with the cable that came with it, and my youngest grandson was able to download plenty of games to keep him busy for those two days. The same went with my oldest grandson and how to connect GBA to computer. They both came with the cables. It took them a couple of days to decide which games, they got on line, to go on the players. We only have one computer, so they took turns downloading. When we were kids, we took plenty of comic books or books to read when we went on vacation. It really makes you feel old when you see all the new toys they have invented for kids. I have also noticed they are allot smarter than we were at that age.
