Ok this is getting severly retarded....
Post by tx3000 on Jul 29th, 2003, 08:25am

How in the world did anyone get a map layout for this supposed Silence open circuit? I'm really starting to wonder if this track even exists or is this just some made up. If this track does exist I have yet to see it. SOme one needs to post up a precise step by step instruction on exactly what they did including:

1) How many game packs are needed to access this track
2) When and what screen was the link cable inserted and into which GBA or both
3) Which GBA('s) was turned on first or at the same time
4) If at any point the link cable needs to be disconnected what screen and which GBA do you do it to first?
5) If the link cable is disconnected, which screen, which GBA was it reconnected to first and was either GBA turned off or left on
6) AT any point does the game pak need to be removed and then re-inserted from the GBA it's in? if so which one and what screen is it done from?

There is probably more info needed then what I have posted above but what I posted above needs to be explained in that mannor.

OK here goes, I'm gonna actually perform the steps as I write this to make sure it's accurate:

1. Place the F-Zero Maximum Velocity cartridge into GBA #1
2. Turn on GBA #1
3. Turn on GBA #2
4. Plug "1P" end of link cable into GBA #1
5. Plug "2P" end of link cable into GBA #2
6. Press START on GBA #1
7. Choose file on GBA #1 by pressing A
8. Choose START on GBA #1 by pressing A
9. Choose SINGLE-PAK LINK on GBA #1 by pressing A
10. Wait briefly ... "ENTRY 0" will change to "ENTRY 2" on GBA #1's screen
11. Press START button on GBA #1
12. Both screens say "Please wait. Data is being transmitted." Eventually GBA #1 screen changes to "PRESS START"
13. Press START button on GBA #1
14. Both screens show vehicle assignments. You cannot select your own vehicle.
15. Press START button on GBA #1
16. Both screens show "SILENCE OPEN CIRCUIT"
17. Press START button on GBA #1 ... race will begin

Hi Dave, Hi tx3000,

You can prevent the GBA to boot from the inserted cartridge by pressing START+SELECT on power up (Pressing A will continue, if wished). I did play Silence thus:

1. Put F-Zero cartridge in GBA #1.
2. Connect the GBAs as described in the link cable guide.
3. Switch on GBA #1.
4. Switch on the other GBAs with START+SELECT pressed. They will now ignore the inserted game pak.
5. On GBA #1: open player slot, START > SINGLE-PAK LINK.
6. Wait for # of Entries reaching the # of connected GBAs.
7. Press START on GBA #1.

Greetings,

Michael

Edit: tx3000, I strongly advise against plugging the game pak while the GBA is running. Doing so could damage both GBA and game pak.
