How does the Leapster L-max work? Can somebody please help me?

My four year old grandson received an L-max Leapster for Christmas. It also came with tv cables. He can play the portable game by himself or take turns playing with his friends. He can plug the game into the TV to see it bigger and play it easier with his friends.

I just tried a 256mb SD card in my daughter's tonight, and it is not recognizing it either. The connect software says SD card required, and the SD card selection is faded out on the unit like there is no SD card in it. The card is fine though. I am able to view it and format it and save to it from my computer. What's the tech support number for Leapster products?

We just had the same problem. After going online to leapster's site we tried recalibrating the stylus to the screen and that solved our problem. The procedure is located at: http://leapfrog.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/leapfrog.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1736

My son is 2 1/2. I bought him the Leapster TV Learning System. He can play that really well since the controls are bigger. Check the games though since for many you need to be able to recognize letters, numbers, etc. His favorite is the Cars one. My daughter (5 years old) has the Leapster L-Max & was 3 1/2 when we got it. It took her several months to get good at it. (The new Leapster comes out this week)

Hey there Happy Momma. From what I know, you cannot use the Leapster Explorer recharger station with the LeapsterGS. You would need to get the recharging battery station specifically made for the LeapsterGS.

I just wanted to correct this. Leapster TV does offer a 2nd controller. I'm doing my homework on Leapster TV and Vsmile and I found out that Leapster TV does have a 2nd controller. You have to look at the games before you buy them to ensure the game is two player though

NO! it works with leappad 2, and leapster explorer. leapster 2 will only work with original leapster cartridges. they are much thicker. The leapster explorer cartridges will not fit in the leapster 2.

Picture shows "Works with all Leapster systems" while game received says "Works with Leapster and Leapster 2". This was a Christmas present for child with a Leapster GS Explorer and must be sent back as it does NOT work with Leapster GS.

I looked on LeapFrog's website, because I was wondering the same thing. It says: requires 3 AAA batteries (batteries included)

We haven't opened ours yet. But I think if you go to LeapFrog . Com they will have the answer for you there.

Thank you for the feedback. I went ahead and bought the V-Tech only because I had read the stylus sometimes didn't work on the leapster and I can see my son freaking out when it doesn't work. We are going on a long trip (overseas) so I wanted something to entertain him. The Leapster might be in our future as well however.

It should say what game devices it's capitable with. We have a leapster (not a gs) and a leap pad 2 and most games are capitable with both. All but one story one we have leap pad only.

It works for leapster explorer, leapster GS explorer but not for the older leapsters. If u own the one that uses the blue cartridges no it will not work

No. NONE of the Leapster games work with the Didj. All of the Leapster games are cross-compatible with all of the Leapsters (the original, the L-Max, and the Leapster2), but NONE of them are compatible with the Didj. Conversely, NONE of the Didj games can be played on any of the Leapsters either. HTH!

No they have different battery packs.... So it won't work for the GS. Leapster does have a charging pack for sell. Do a search for the recharger for leapster GS. Amazon does have one for sell just under $30

It only works with Leapster Explorer and up per the game. So, if it's not at least the explorer version, then it will not work with it. It's the thin chip that goes in the new versions.
