I was playing Hoyle card games yesterday and wondered how do I play gameboy color only( Clear carts) on a standard gameboy. is there a gg code for this or some kind of solution to the problem caus' my brother asked me and I don't really know.
No.
There are Game Genie codes to short-circuit around the startup check for Game Boy Color mode, but it would take much more than a Game Genie to short-circuit around the engine's requirement for the extra WRAM (32 KB vs. 8 KB) and VRAM (16 KB vs. 8 KB) in the GBC. It would be like trying to port Super Mario Bros. 3 to run on a cart without the 8 KB RAM, and you'd have to solder together a Game Boy flash card to run it. It'd be cheaper to buy a Game Boy Color system for 10 USD on eBay.
I knew I should of got that green one when I had the chance or a gameboy player works as well.
If by "Game Boy Player" you mean the Super Game Boy, it doesn't run color only games. It only runs native GB games and GBC/GB compatible games.
The GBC is the easiest console to find ever, in my opininon.
1 - Everyone bought a GBA wich is backward compatible, and everyone sold its old GBC for $5.
2 - Almost everyone that was little when the GBC came out had one, and now they're teenagers they aren't interested in Game Boy games any longer (for an obscure reason, Game Boy is today cliched to be childish as opposed to the PlayStaion), so they sell it for $5.
You don't need to buy one online period, anywhere you're living (exept if you're in Africa or somethnig like that). Used GBC are even easier to find than the original PS1.

Not the one for Super NES,
the one for GameCube. The one that also runs GBA games, (ObNESemdev) including PocketNES.
It's on abig screen and solves the problem of bad quality sound. Is it possible to change to cart type number using a debuger?
Don't forget the fact that GBC's cpu can run at 2x speed, whereas regular GB can't.
Ah, I forgot about the game boy player for Game Cube. I didn't even know it was playing GB/GBC games, I was only thinking of it playing GBA games.
I'd say if you only have an original Game Boy don't hesitate to buy a GBC or GBA. After all the games were designed to be played on them, not on a home console.
