Does he have it somewhere on his site? I couldn't find it.

I don't really see the point in adding GBA functionality to any portable. Especially a Gamecube portable. It would be much bulkier, louder, and have worse battery life than the original GBA. The only benefits would be a larger screen and [arguably] better controls. And considering GBA's can be had for under $20 nowadays, what's the point in adding it other than just to be different?

I would only consider doing it if I was making a Gamecube laptop.

Why don't we talk about Bacteria here?


..also adding gameboy advance capability will be too costly to be worth it, as the TV out units cost an arm and a leg :shock: ..I'd only say it would be worthwhile if you already had the TV out thing

Good plan. That's really the cheapest/easiest option. Plus, I don't believe any one has done that before!
