SYSTEM OPERATION USING A GAME BOY SYSTEM WITH THE GAME BOY PLAYER SINGLE PLAYER GAMES The Game Boy Advance system can be used as a controller with the Game Boy Player by connecting it to the Nintendo GameCube with the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable.* This cable can be plugged into any of the Controller Sockets on the front of the Nintendo GameCube. The Game Boy Advance system will not work as a controller if a Game Pak is inserted into its Game Pak slot. NOTE: The External Extension Connector on the front of the Game Boy Player is not used for single player games. A Nintendo GameCube Controller can be plugged into any other Controller Socket to access the Menu Screen (see Pages 7-8). NOTE: All Controller Sockets are active, so plugging additional controllers in and pressing the buttons while someone is already playing can interfere with game play. MULTIPLAYER GAMES For multiplayer games, the Game Boy Player can be treated like another Game Boy system. It can be connected to other Game Boy systems by using the External Extension Connector (EXT) on the front of the Game Boy Player with the appropriate cable. NOTE: This method is only for connecting Game Boy systems to the Game Boy Player. Do not connect multiple Game Boy Players together using this method. Please review the Instruction Booklets included with your Game Boy system and Game Paks for multiplayer game features and connection methods. Multiplayer game set-up may require additional accessories or cables.* IMPORTANT: Be sure to disconnect systems and cables when they are not being used. *Accessories sold separately. See your local Nintendo retailer, visit our on-line store at http://store.nintendo.com or call 1-800-255-3700. 9 SYSTEM OPERATION Player 2 Player 3 Player 1 Player 4 The illustration above is an example of how to connect Game Boy Advance systems for four player games using the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable. The purple plug can connect to whichever system will be Player 1. Similar connections can be made with other Game Boy systems using the correct accessories (see Page 9). USING AN e-READER A Nintendo e-Reader can be plugged into the Game Pak Slot on the front of the Game Boy Player. Please review the e-Reader Instruction Booklet before using this accessory. 10 TROUBLESHOOTING If you are having problems with the picture or sound, or the Nintendo GameCube Controller or Game Boy system are not responding, turn the power OFF and check the following: • Some games may appear shaky when scrolled across the TV screen. This is caused by differences in how LCD and TV screens display images. This is not a defect and can sometimes be corrected by adjusting the display quality. (See page 8, the "Display" menu item.) • Make sure cable connections are correct and secure. • Make sure Game Pak is correctly and fully inserted into the Game Pak Slot on the front of the Game Boy Player. • Check the Game Pak connectors for contamination or other foreign material. • If you are using a Game Boy Advance system as a controller, make sure there is not a Game Pak inserted into its Game Pak Slot. • For multiplayer games, review the Instruction Booklet for the game you are playing for information on multiplayer features and the number of Game Paks needed, and what cable connections to use. • For multiplayer games, check the compatibility of the components you are using. For example, a Game Boy Advance Game Pak is not compatible with a Game Boy Color system. • If an error message appears on the TV screen, please review the Troubleshooting Section in the Nintendo GameCube Instruction Booklet. Note: When using any Game Boy Advance system as a controller, a Game Boy Player logo will appear on the Game Boy Advance screen after you turn the power ON. If this logo does not appear, turn the power of the Nintendo GameCube OFF, check the cable connections, then try turning the power ON again. If the Game Boy Player still does not operate correctly after trying the above remedies, please visit the customer service area of our web site at www.nintendo.com or call 1-800-255-3700. 11 WARRANTY AND SERVICE Rev.
