Tips & Warnings

• If you are running in the automatic start-up mode, you will need to remove all DS game cards from the system in order to play the Game Boy Advance games. When the DS Lite is in this mode, it will start the DS game card without going to the main menu. You will have no chance to turn on the Game Boy Advance game.

• You can set the system to manual start-up mode, which will allow you to get to the main menu before the Nintendo DS Lite starts any games.

• The Nintendo DS Lite will not play Game Boy Color or original Game Boy games. Only Game Boy Advance games and videos are supported by the system.

• Do not force Game Boy Advance packs into the system. Gentle pressure is enough to seat a properly oriented game pack. If you are having problems putting a Game Boy Advance pack in SLOT-2, check for proper alignment and try again.
