Welcome to PureiWeb's Play-Yan user guide! This user guide is for the original Play-Yan. It's unfinished now, but it will be finished soon. There are lots of things happening here, so check back!
Great job for getting an original Play-Yan! They're very rare, so treat it like a fragile piece of equipment. Give yourself a very big round of applause! And a pat on the back.
Micros are easy to find.
And, this guide is NOT for the Micro.
Sorry, Micro users!
Anyway... welcome to the beautiful world of Play-Yan!
Oh, and if you have a GameCube and a Game Boy Player, use it to experience the Play-Yan in the fullest detail you can, right on your TV! A tiny screen (like a DS or GBA) just won't do for the full experience!
We don't have one yet, but there are videos of it working on the Game Boy Player.
Do you have a 1GB or less SD card? Good! Let's go to the second and most important step.
Oh, and if you don't have a 1GB card, then get one! If it's more than 1GB, then it may not work.
Having SD Card trouble?
Say cheese!
If you have a camera, use it to format the SD Card.
Play-Yan does not like SD cards that are formatted on a modern Windows 10 computer. We tried everything, and he still would not accept it. Until we put the SD card in a digital camera.
Say cheese, Play-Yan!
We're sure that a Windows XP computer with an SD card reader will work.
Oh hey, it works! The camera we used was a Kid Tough Digital Camera. Even though it's a camera for little kids, it does an excellent job on formatting an SD Card for use with the Play-Yan.
Also, it takes some great photos!
Maybe a modern digital camera will work! Just tell us over on the Send to PureiWeb page, and we may add your info in!
