Gba Game Link For Dummies

[atiflz]

Can you step by step explain how to use GBA game link cable? I can't seem to get it to work. And if I connect the two devices and then turn one on, the other also turns on, weird. I would appreciate some instructions for total ignorants.

Which game?

I tried Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. But there should be some generic way of using the damn cable, right?

Are you sure those games are mutiplayer compatible?

If they are, you usually have to have the same game in each, then you go to a "link" menu, and it links from there.

With SF Alpha 3 I do:
1. Insert cartridges on the two consoles(the exact same cartridge, bought from same place)
2. Connect the link cable
3. Turn on the consoles
4. Select VS Mode from the main menu
Then a screen appears "Waiting for game link"
Then nothing happens, both consoles timeout and return to their main menu.
