To anyone that owns or has played games on a GB player have you noticed that its comparable to being the n64 of 2d? I used to think it was my crappy television that caused the games to look dim and not as "bright" with color as they're supposed to. But recently i tried it out(the player) in the living room TV and at a friends tv and the games looked the same as in my tv. So then i thought "maybe my eyes are just giving out on me from playing too many fucking games". i then tried something else. I hooked on my SNES and tried out Secret of Mana, it looked superb compared to sword of mana on my GB player (as far as color, it was richer and brighter)and thats just not supposed to happen, a 1991(or 92? whatever) game looking better than a 2004 game. Not just those games, but others as well. Same goes for the GBA, the games just looked better on it than on the player. So are the games supposed to look like this on the GB player? or did i just get stuck with a faulty unit?
It does appear that the brightness of the GB Player is different than that of the GBA, but I've never been able to tell that much of a difference.
You may notice that some games (including FFTA) have brightness settings: one for the GBA, one for the SP, and one for the GB Player. However, the GB Player setting actually makes the colors darker, not brighter. For FFTA in particular, if I leave the brightness setting for the GBA when I'm using the GB Player, the colors are bright enough that they seem to run together (and give me a headache). So maybe games without these settings dull the colors automatically to prevent this.
I would also try messing around with the screen size, backgrounds, and other settings on the GB Player to see if they make it look any better.
