emulation on GameBoy Movie Player

Wow! I received my GB Movie Player yesterday and promptly attempted to emulate the nes on it. It worked! Amazing! This is my first time at emulation. I love it! Stayed up half the night playing 15 year old games! Too bad the GBMP won't emulate games over 200K. Any chance of a firmware upgrade fixing that bug?

Short answer... No.

Long answer... the games are loaded from the movie player into the GBA's "multi-boot" ram (the area of memory used by games that allow link-up play) and that's limited to 200k, sorry!

If you want to play larger NES games you'll need to buy a Flash Cart and use PocketNES, which is excellent BTW.

I was thinking about getting one of those, but also thought about the GP32. I play the SNES just as much as I do the NES. So, it's either the flash cart for GBA or the GP32.

Sorry bout the double post...

Does the GP32 have a slot for Compact Flash cards or is it only Smart Media? I noticed that Lik-Sang has the BLU units in stock. Hmm.......GP32..........

it's only SMC. Also, the BLUs that have been shipped lately have had different screens and there have been some bugs with them, though many have been resolved. These BLUs are referred to as BLU+s, btw.
