When using a Nintendo GameCube Controller to play your
Game Boy Game Paks, it can be plugged into any of the
Controller Sockets on the front of the console. See the table
below for equivalent Game Boy game control functions.
1. While the power is ON,
push the Open Button to
open the Disc Cover of
the Nintendo GameCube.
NOTE: If the Disc Cover is
opened after the power is
turned OFF, the Start-up Disc
may still be spinning. If this
happens, wait until the disc
stops spinning before
removing it from the console.
2. Push the Disc Release
Button and remove the
Start-up Disc from the
console.
3. Close the Disc Cover and
turn OFF the power.
4. Slide the Game Pak
Ejector towards the front
of the Nintendo GameCube
to eject the Game Pak.
NOTE: To keep out dirt, dust
or other foreign material,
keep a Game Pak plugged
into the Game Boy Player
when not being used.
IMPORTANT:
• A few original Game Boy Game Paks may have
display
or sound problems if used with the Game Boy
Player.
• Motion sensor (tilt feature), rumble feature and
infrared feature Game Paks will not work with in the
Game Boy Player.
1. You can adjust the screen size for original Game Boy and
Game Boy Color Game Paks by pressing the L and R
Buttons on your GameCube Controller or Game Boy
Advance system. (This may make some of the images
distorted or hard to see.) The screen size is not
adjustable with Game Boy Advance Game Paks.
2. There are 12 different color palettes that can be used with
original monochrome Game Boy games. To set the color,
you must press up, down, left or right with the Control
Stick or + Control Pad and the A or B Button (see table
below). This must be done while the Game Boy
logo appears on the TV screen right after you turn the
power ON.
