Players 2, 3, and 4 can use whatever Game Boy they want with the MGB-010 Universal Link Cable, since the DMG-07 leaves its remaining ports open. The DMG-07 comes with a built-in cable for Player 1, but it's a 1st Generation male connector, meaning it won't fit in any Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Color, or Game Boy Advance without the MGB-004 converter. The issue was exacerbated by the fact that the DMG-07 typically requires Player 1 to have an original Game Boy (one of the DMG models) unless another adapter is thrown into the mix. It had virtually no support a few years after its release. While the DMG-07 worked as intended, only a very limited number of games took advantage of it a lot of them came from Nintendo themselves in fact. Released in 1990, the adapter came bundled with F-1 Race.
Nintendo came up with a clever solution called the DMG-07, a 4-Player adapter for the original Game Boy. The problem here is that the Game Boy can't natively handle connections with that many players. Even so, a handful of titles, such as racing games, benefit from 3 or 4-player action. For many games, 2-player modes make sense, and that much was enough. The way data transfers through the Link Cable is simply hardwired for bi-directional communication. By design, however, it was restricted to 2-player modes.

Ever since the Game Boy launched, it had multiplayer support via its serial input-output port.
