Game Boy Player - Installing the Start-Up Disc and Game Paks

Before You Install the Start-Up Disc:

• Make sure the Game Boy Player is properly attached to the Nintendo GameCube.
• You will need to insert the Start-up Disc every time you wish to use your Game Boy Player.
• When not in use, keep the Start-up Disc in its protective case to help prevent loss or damage.

To Install the Start-Up Disc and Game Paks:

1. Make sure the power is OFF on the Nintendo GameCube.

 

2. Open the Disc Cover on the Nintendo GameCube and insert the Start-up Disc -- label side up -- on the center peg. Push down gently so it clicks into place. Close the Disc Cover.



 

3. With the label side facing down, insert a Game Boy game pak into the Game Pak Slot in the front of the Game Boy Player. Push in the game pak until it clicks firmly into place.
   Please note: Game paks in the "Game Boy Advance Video" series cannot play Game Boy Advance Videos. Please click here for more information.



 

4. Press the Power button on the Nintendo GameCube. The TV screen will first display the Game Boy Logo and then the Title screen of the game you have inserted into the Game Boy Player.
