movie player for GBA

Neat blurb about a smartmedia-based video player for GBA. The smartmedia goes in the adaptor, and the adaptor goes into the GBA like a standard cartridge.

The adaptor is ¥3800; it doesn't mention the media, though 32Mb SmartMedia is given away in breakfast cerel over here (just kidding). The 32Mb card holds up to 30 minutes of video, and the decoder is designed to play nicely with the meager CPU on the portable console.

For those of you who think that aftermarket strap-ons are a good way to prolong your pleasure from otherwise dead tech, ethernet is in development for 8-bit Atari hardware.

I blinked and tried to remember some history. “You mean the Hundred Year War? Fifteenth Century? Fourteenth? Sometime around there. Between . . . France and England? Henry V? Kenneth Branagh? Or was it . . .” “I mean the Century War with Islam,” interrupted the Time Traveler. “Your future. Everyone’s.” He was no longer smiling. Without asking, or offering to pour me any, he
