Using Hard Drives Or CD-ROMs On The GBA?

Posted by simoniker on from the 128,000-marios dept.

Black_Logic writes "A couple of Swedish university students have made a Gameboy Advance interface for hard discs and CD-ROMs. This will extend the GBA's maximum cartridge memory beyond 32MB, which could be quite useful for those who'd like to use the GBA for large space-requiring graphical projects, or maybe even movies."

    How terribly useless. Why don't they make a CD-Rom thing for PDAs? I would love to have hours of music, or video, or what not, right there, without have to buy a laptop. Portable CD Players have been battery powered forever, so it wouldn't even need to draw power from the PDA. I'd think such a device would be more popular than a CD rom for a GBA.
