E-Reader

The e-Reader is a peripheral for the Game Boy Advance which can scan cards with dot codes which contain game content.
== Function ==
The accessory plugs in to the cartridge slot, and with the original Game Boy Advance model, it will also attach a passthrough to the link cable port. When starting up the system, there is a main menu, where the player can choose to either scan cards which contain standalone games, or to connect to either another Game Boy Advance or GameCube with a game that is compatible with the accessory.
When scanning in a card or a set of cards, the player needs to first press A to prepare the accessory, then slide the card at a steady rate through slot at the end of the accessory. For games that use more than one dot code, they will go to a screen which will show how many codes have been scanned in and which ones are still missing.
Once a standalone game is scanned in, it can be saved to the accessory's internal memory, and then played later without needing to re-scan the cards.
== Games ==
In North America, a line of NES games were released as sets of five e-Reader cards.
The accessory was also compatible with the GameCube versions of Animal Crossing, where scanning cards could unlock items in game, give the player special designs, or set the town tune.
