GBC Games on GBA SP

[ivotedforkodos]

Just got some GBC games on Ebay and I can't get them to play on my GBA SP. Before I hassle the seller with a refund / negative feedback, I thought I'd see if anyone has any advice. When I plug them in I get the "Game Boy / Nintendo " screen with no problem, but it alternates between the smaller screen with a black border and a pixelated wide screen. The "nintendo" is hard to read, it has black dots above all the letters. Of course I'll try cleaning the contacts on the games w/ rubbing alcohol and maybe even taking them apart if it comes to it but I just thought I'd check if the community at large has any advice. thanks!

Think of it like the blinking NES screen. That's what GB carts do. Just clean the contacts and that should be enough.
