2-Player Linking Instructions
If you have selected a two player game, a message will appear at the bottom of the screen indicating that you will need to plug in a Game Boy® Advance Game Link® Cable.
1. Please make sure the Power Switch on the second game system is OFF.
2. Connect a Game Boy® Advance Game Link® Cable into the External Connector (EXT) on each of the game systems. Check to see that the Player One end is connected to the first Game Boy® Advance (the cable ends are different on each side). Make sure the second Game Boy® Advance does NOT have a Game Pak inserted.
3. Turn on the power to the second Game Boy® Advance and PLAY!
Note: Once power is turned on to the second game system, a message will notify you that data is being transferred. Once this is done, the screen will display "Player 2 Ready". Note that the second player will NOT be able to see the game screen on the second Game Boy® Advance system, so they will have to look at the first player's screen to see the action.
Records List
Exclusive to the Game Boy® Advance, this is where you can save your high scores for each game! Also included, are the patches that you earn by playing various games. Not all games have a patch available.
If there is a patch available for the game, it will be denoted with a box in the "Patch" column. Some games have more than one patch. Use the A Button to view the high scores, and then use the +Control Pad Right to view the patch. If you have not unlocked the patch you will get a message explaining that is has not been unlocked yet - so get back to playing and unlock that patch!
