Java for the Gameboy Advance
heavy writes "For everyone who is wondering what else they can do with their newly purchased Gameboy Advance SP comes JAMiD - Java Action Media Interactive Device. What is it? "The aJile Systems JAMiD JAM-ID100C cartridge will turn your Nintendo® Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Advance SP system into a jammin' Java interactive gaming machine capable of playing those free Java games popping up all over the Internet. Based on Sun Microsystem's J2ME Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), the JAMiD accelerated Java platform will run MIDP 1.0/2.0 games and other multimedia MIDlets." It can also play MP3s...a developer version available now and a consumer version is coming soon. Way cool."
This is fucking awesome! I am so happy about this, I just crapped my pants! But don't worry, Java has automatic garbage collection so I won't even have to change myself!
Here's a Java Applet which can run GameBoy software.
Therefore, (if the applet's updated to run the GBA SP software), you can run Java applications on your Java GB emulator.
JVM on GB on JVM on GB on JVM..........
Why do I h8 apple?
standard joke about how, judging by the Web sites response time, they must be running their Tomcat servlet engine as a midlet on one of their JAMiD cartridges.

Nintendo, PLEASE LET ME LIVE.
It started out fairly innocent. My brother offered to let me play one night on his. "Just a few games..." he used to say. It's like crack, and I was hooked. I'm now 22 and it has consumed my life. I have tried quitting cold turkey, but it was like the sky was falling and not fitting into place.
If they would only go one generation without it I might have a chance.

Mamma miea...you hava an emale. Would you like to read it now or duel it with your pokemon.
I get a sick feeling in my stomach when I hear about yet another device with virtually no memory that can now play MP3's. Who gives a rat's ass? I guess teenagers who listen to the same song over and over might like this feature.

Kewl. I wonder if someone will port a Gameboy Emulator to it. :-)
Have you read my journal today?
mobile gaming is going to save Java. At least for now.
You know that a technology is sound when it is supported by Ericsson, Nokia and er.. Nintendo.How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life
Wake me up when you get Java running on this !

"Some people who use a PDA a lot, but don't play games enough to justify buying a GBA might play games on their PDA. The same goes for people who play their GBA a lot, but don't need a PDA enough to buy one, but might need that functionality occasionly."
it's so 8-year olds can remember to make their crack hookup on the fifteenth at 3 a.m., their parole board appt. at 9 a.m., and show off their "mad skilz" at 4 p.m. and STILL not forget to pick up a load of bread and a box of 9mm at the corner convenience store for their grandma.
Seriously, isn't there a law of diminishing returns on doing something just because you can?
To celebrate the occasion of my 1000th post, I will post no more forever on Slashdot. Goodbye.
