Title: Game Boy Advance SP
Post by: Frenzy_Monkey47 on April 05, 2013, 08:58:35 pm: So I just got a GBA SP and I put my pokemon emerald in the cartridge slot and it doesn't go past the GBA sign. When I put in my pokemon blue though it works. Any ideas why?

Try another advance game, if the same effect occurs I bet it's the metal lines thingys that read Advance games is wore out, but the ones reading GB games is still working. Happened to the third SP my dad brought home from the garbage. I personally couldn't figure out how to fix it at the time, but the guys I knew down at Microplay taught me how to fix it. You just got to replace the metal thingys in the SP with ones from another one.

Post by: Warmonger_2 on April 07, 2013, 11:15:24 am: Usually if other games work in it then it is not the game boy. So it is probably something wrong with the game. But I'm not sure. That's before my electronic knowledge :D
