Open-Content GBA Movie Player Reviewed

wraggster writes "The helpful people over at EAGB have done a great review of a new third-party GBA SP Movie Player Adapter. According to the review: 'This adapter... uses Compact Flash Cards (CF)... [and] comes with its own encoder software which gives the user free reign to encode any movie or music he wants.' They note the 'steep learning curve', and a 'rudimentary' feature set, but conclude: 'nothing beats that wow! factor when you see your first movie playing on the GBA/SP'." This is an interesting alternative to the recently announced U.S. and already-released Japanese GBA movie players, both of which restrict the movie content you can put on your Game Boy in some way.

    If you look, one of the sample movies he encoded as an example was the MTV clip of Modanna and Brittney kissing.

    Kinda shows what this is actually going to be used for in the real world.
