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."

    Except that the ARM chip in the GBA is the ARM7, and it has no MMU. Plus, it runs at about 16MHz. It could play video but would probably choke trying to do anything with Divx.
