Basically, I recently bought my friends Gameboy Advance SP so that I could play gameboy colour games.

I finally got a GBC game (Bugs Bunny in Crazy Castle 4) but it won't work on my SP!

If I put it in the slot, the came boy logo pops up, it makes the 'da ding' noise...but that's it.

Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks

Take out the GBC game card blow on the bottom of it and blow the part of the SP that you put the game in and then try it.

Nah, tried it and nothing changed. The Game Boy logo popped up, made the da ding noise, and the right reserved sign shows, however there is no Nintendo logo...

Throw it at a random person, that might make it work.

Open the cartridge up and clean the contacts that way. If you don't have the tool to get the screw out, get a lighter and a pen. Melt the flat end of the pen and press it over the screw, and let it dry.

Maybe that cartridge has a battery in it similar to pokemon gold/silver...and probably died so you can't pay that game.
(happened to my pokemon silver D: )
