Nintendos original Gameboy Player is not based on Software, it is a "real" Gameboy Advance system in a case plugging in to the extension port of the GameCube. Not the best example though because it was not capable of playing sounds, but in the meantime Datel has one of the strongest development teams known and usually deliver high quality products. It was made using Marat Fayzullin's VGB emulator core. The GameBooster for the N64 was a software based Emulator accessory playing Gameboy games on the N64.
