Hello.
About a year ago, my Game Boy games (classic/color) do not play well with my Game Boy Advance SP (second generation). My GBA games perform well, but my normal carts not so much. They have difficulty starting and crash not too long after being able to play.
Donkey Kong Country: Freezes randomly before a typical "Game Over". Note will continue to held out. Behaves as if cart was jerked out (which it wasn't)
Pokemon Yellow: Will occasionally reset itself. Freezes less common.
Pokémon Pinball: Also freezes like DKC. One result wiped the memory clean.
The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening: Will freeze about five minutes into playing randomly. One condition resulted in a different palette (but not an even palette, some blue there, some normal there)
The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons: See above.
Super Mario Bros. DX: Freezes. One result destroyed my ability to play Boo, Lost Levels and some photos, but kept other stuff...it was very bizarre.
YES I have tried cleaning out the contacts with compressed air NO I have not been abusing them
Does anyone else have this problem?
Can I fix mine?
