Does anyone know if this accessory is any good? For $25, you surely can't do wrong, right? I'm interested in seeing how the music, movies, files, etc. are handled.

I reviewed the original version at PGC and really liked it. There are a few issues, some of which have been addressed with subsequent firmware updates. But the sheer utility of the device outweighs most of its problems. It certainly kicks the ass of GBA Video (Majesco's technology). The quality is similar and you can play any content that you can rip or find on your computer. It works as a portable MP3 player too, as well as an ebook reader, and now it supports a Famicom emulator, so you can load ROMs onto it too. Pretty damn awesome.

Thanks, I just read the review. It was very detailed and specific, thanks.

So I'm assuming I have to get a flashcard and a reader? I couldn't find a reader at Radioshack.com, but I'll keep looking.

I wonder if the DS is going to support some of this kind of stuff out of the box.

Logically, it should just because of the presence of the GBA cartridge port. It'd be nice if this company made one specifically for the DS using the touch screen for selecting options, and if Nintendo supported such a product the same way they bothered with SD Cards on the GC, then it'd really take away a lot of flame from the PSP.

Why not just spend a little more on a decent-capacity flash cart which will give you the ability to do much more (some SNES emulation [http://www.snesadvance.org/], pretty accurate NES, and ALOT of older systems, e-books, audio, etc.) and bypass the annoyance of having a big plastic boner sticking out of your GBA?

I've been considering this famicom emulation stuff lately... paying another $20 for games I've owned for over a decade with no changes or fixes isn't something I'm too excited about.

A thought just occurred to me, does this accessory work with the GBA Player?
