    No, it's a variable resistor that controls how much voltage goes to the screen. By reducing the amount of voltage, the pixels aren't as opaque, and the white background behind the screen shows through better which gives the appearance of being brighter. The screen is interlaced; therefore, dimmer pixels might make the refreshing of the even and odd lines more apparent.

    I'm sure someone will come out with Gameboy Advance emulator. Then, you'll be able to play on a monitor at no additional cost.

    How about "it"? That would be grammatically correct, and some would argue gives the hacker the proper respect "it" deserves.

  5. Directional Pad? on Gameboy Advance US Launch Details · · Score: 1

    Why did Nintendo choose to go with a classic digital directional pad instead of an analog joystick? I thought with the move by all the latest consoles to go with analog sticks, Nintendo would do the same with the GBA. Is the reason due to too much extra CPU usage or something else?

    No, the Cuban missile crisis occurred because the US government didn't get Castro proper hotel arrangements when Castro was forming Cuba to be a democratic nation. Thus, while visiting the US to speak with the government regarding Cuba's recognition, Castro had to be subjected to racial segregation, and Kruschev could easily convince him that the US really didn't care about Cuba and that he should make Cuba have a communist government.
