Neighbor asking me to help — I got it a battery (a square battery not the AAA option that was available on some models for NiMH) and now it’s time to look at cheap games.

Some say instructions may not be included… OK. No problem. OTHERS, read like below — and it’s the last line that has me confused — regarding “support elements” — because I can’t find anyone selling a memory card, and I don’t know if it is referring to something extra that is in the ROM cartridge or is it just using what is equipped on the ARM7 that powers this thing or what??

Anyone with experience with these - please enlighten me. It will be appreciated!!

Here is one description that is typical - see that last line:

I have both a GBA and GB Micro, and have never seen a separate memory card. Some (most) games have the ability to store your high scores - which is what I think is being described.

Lastly, I think you've got an extra letter on that model - there's a Gameboy SP but I never heard of a Gameboy SPA see link
