The GB cart is slightly different than GBA cart, and when it's inserted to GBA console, it actually pushes down a little physical switch in the cart slot that activates GBA to boot in the Gameboy/Gameboy color mode.

If you look into the cartridge slot the sceen facing upwards, the switch should be in the left hand corner. Could it be that the switch is permanently stuck in the on-position? Maybe open the console and take a better look at the cartridge slot?

Can you get power between the first and last pins of the game socket?

It should give 5 volts in GBC mode and 3,3 in GBA....

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
