  1. Processing power by gpinzone · · Score: 5, Informative
    There's no way a GameBoy has the processing power to decode MP3s natively. This thing has got to be an Rio with a GameBoy program to display the status on the GameBoy rather than have it's own LCD.

    Whoopdie dooo.

    Here's a better option:

    Amazon has the SP90 player at $85 - $5 coupon CHNKBKAMZNLT - $20 rebate = $60 shipped. There's a simple way to hack it and upgrade the firmware.

    • Plays standard audio CDs as well as MP3 + WMA
    • Electronic shock protection up to 120 seconds
    • Supports ID3 tags and audio CD title display (CD Text)
