I've beaten Advance Wars and open up quite a bit. You know when you first play it, Nell asks for your name. Then you have Field Training open, thats all. I put my Advance Wars in my GBP and it starts by asking my name. Then asks me if I've played it before, just like the first time, and I had no data opened. Just field training. I thought I'd lost my saved data. But I stuck it back in my GBA, and it pops up with campaign open, all my battle maps I bought, my ranking and all.... its still all there.
So whats up with that? Did anyone else have this happen?
Thats odd 😮dd: Did you try to put it in agian to see if it does the same thing?
Maybe you tripped something on accident that let you save to memory card rather than to the cart itself. I used to think I lost memory from my Playstation memory card...but I was actually turning the "pages". I found out what I was doing and got a bunch of old data back. 😊
If this is the case, that would be so cool...I don't know why, it just would be.
Nope, haven't tried it but once.
Also, from what I understand, the GBP doesn't let you save to memory card. And there isn't any on my memory card except GC games, I checked.
Strange.
damn, I was thinking if you could save to a card then I could save more Golden Sun files, so I wouldn't have to delete games to make space for my brothers.
oh well, I'll still get the GBP eventually, I hate hunching over that little screen...
Yeah, it would have made Metroid Fusion so much easier to play it on a TV rather then that little screen. And I like to use Gamecube controller. I got used to playing 2d games on it after beating the hidden original Metroid on Metroid Prime. And do you need to have a link cable and a GBA for the GBP? Because I though it would make the GBA useless besides for travel.
A GC Link Cable and a GBA isn't required, but it's optional in case you want to use your GBA as a controller. (Not terribly useful right now, but later games could be coded to take advantage of that.)
I've heard rumors that you can also use a GC Link Cable to do multiplayer games, but only with two cartridges of the same game. I have no idea if that's true, though.
Yeah, the Gameboy Player works basically just like a gameboy. You can link it up to other gameboys and play multiplayer games just as you would with just gameboys.
For some reason the manual says not to hook up 2 or more gameboy players to each other though. I'm not sure why they would say this.
I just got my Game Cube back...and I really want a player, but I don't have the money right now.
Why would they allow the option to hook up more than one GB Player if it says not to?
I think it means you shouldn't hook two GBP's to eachother with a Link Cable. However, I believe you can hook two 'Cubes together via a Broadband Adapter and a LAN cable, as long as you have a second display.
