Xport 2 Turns Game Boy Advance Into Embedded Microcontroller

Posted by simoniker on from the jargon-to-the-flargon dept.

Thanks to Gizmodo for its article discussing the Xport 2.0 unofficial cartridge add-on for the Game Boy Advance, which allows users to turn their GBA "into a user-programmable embedded microcontroller for directing robots, capturing images or video, or operating anything else you can interface to its user-programmable I/O." There's more information on the official Charmed Labs site.

    Wouldn't this make more sense under the Developers section? Aside from the hardware, which is essentially a display, processor, and I/O, this has absolutely nothing to do with any kind of gaming.
