"Help with cables"

Hi,

Can anyone help - I bought 2 GBA (SP) and a game link cable. I follow all the instructions but can't get it to work !! So frustrating its not rocket science ........

What game is it? You'll need another copy of the game to go in your 2nd SP unless the game says "Single-Pak link" or something like that. Lots of games have single pak link - Mario Kart Super Circuit, F Zero, Wario Ware doesn't even require a link cable.

It doesn't actually say it needs another cartridge - actual words are "this game pak includes a multiplayer mode which requires a GBA gamelink cable" - nothing about needing another cartridge.

According to a couple of the reviews it seems to say that you need two copies of the game to play it in multiplayer mode.

Is it one cart per person required, or can you playwith just one?

Hi, no offence taken - just glad someone bothered. The game is Lord of the RIngs The return of the Kingwhich has very clear instructions on how to use multiplayer. I linked both GBA's (a 2 link cable with the main GBA with game in it as player1, and the 2nd as player 2), turn both on. Thew main one starts and the menu offers multiplayer. I try this and just get "waiting for player 2 to respond" or words to that effect.

What was the game?

Sorry to be offensive, but to get help on these forums you need to provide a bit more information!
