Game Boy Advance Becomes Car Tuning Tool

Thanks to 1UP for its story discussing a new Game Boy Advance peripheral which "turns the GBA into a data logging computer and tuning interface for sports cars". The story explains of TurboXS' DTEC peripheral: "The basic version of the DTEC turns the GBA into a customizable digital gauge for displaying boost pressure, RPM, and different temperature settings. Future upgrades will evidently allow it to show more indicators, like G-forces, knock warnings, and other data."

Now all those 2am drivers will be able to know EXACTLY how much they can rev their engine before it blows their car into a thousand peices on my lawn!

Cause, y'know, when that happens they probably wouldn't clean it up themselves. Lazy bums.

Ricer next to me

Now I won't be able to tell if he's sitting at the stoplight playing Metroid, or preparing to drop the clutch at 5,000 RPM.

It needs a huge wing.

Almost there...

We just need a few more of these senor/diagnostic cartridges to turn a GBA-SP into a Next Generation Tricorder.
