Just an interesting story (for thoose with a GBA in their pocket ;): "For everyone who is wondering what else they can do with their newly purchased Gameboy Advance SP comes JAMiD - Java Action Media Interactive Device. What is it? "The aJile Systems JAMiD JAM-ID100C cartridge will turn your Nintendo® Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Advance SP system into a jammin' Java interactive gaming machine capable of playing those free Java games popping up all over the Internet. Based on Sun Microsystem's J2ME Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), the JAMiD accelerated Java platform will run MIDP 1.0/2.0 games and other multimedia MIDlets." It can also play MP3s...a developer version available now and a consumer version is coming soon. Way cool." from |

|
|
how is a gba going to store mp3's? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no way, mp3's?? that is just too cool! I've got the old GBA but i'd get that if it plays mp3's... any idea what the capacity would be? |
||||||||

I thought this news was new, but this article is more detailed and from March 6th: |

You're probably going to want a headphone adapter too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Headphones? nah, the speaker on the GBA is so awsome! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What cabbog means is the GameBoy Advance SP (the new one) you need a special headphone adaptor to be able to listen with headphones - they got rid of the headphone jack on the GBASP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
got rid of the headphone jack I don't own the GBASP... but for what reason would did they remove it? If I'd be out in public I'd never use the speaker and bother people around me, I'd use headphones instantly. |
||||||||

that sucks bigtime |
||||||||
|
|

I'm not real clear on that either. |

I suppose its to "nickel and dime" you to death. |

Aheeharharhee.. It's got it's charm. |

Sweet. Anyone know what that thing coming out in May is... the Nintendo Player or something like that... something about playing GBA on yer TV... |

I'm surprised that Ceri hasn't posted in this thread. I really am. Anyway what I came in here to say was: Oh man this looks cool :D |
||||||||
|
|

He he, I've been using homebrew stuff on mine for well over a year now :P Some nice video/mp3 players for it as well as a proposed linux port... |
||||||||

I knew I'd get you in here mwahahahahahahahahahahha |

And the JPG viewer rulez too. Due to the res of the screen you can fit 100s of pics on a flash cart. Someone really ought to do a tracker program for it. I would, but I have no experience of sound programming and my machine code (esp. for the z80 processor is awful :D |

I got my $193 tax return slip in the mail yesterday. As soon as I tore the envelope open I heard a distant cry... There was no mistaking that sound: It was a platinum GBA SP far off in the distance, waiting to be liberated from it's cardboard box.. ... Today I leave. |

I just heard they plan on porting Donkey Kong Country and the Earthbound series to the GBA. Oh joy of joys! I've never played the Earthbound games though.. What are they like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Holy shit man, Earthbound is like my favorite game ever, totally freaking hilarious and with the best soundtrack ever put to cartridge. They need to make a new one, ASAP. The N64 version got nixed, looked like it sucked anyway. The simple lo-fi graphics were part of the charm, you need to have them. The original NES Mother (Earthbound), I never played to any great extent yet, but I have a ROM of it and it's brilliant. Now Ness is stuck in hackneyed games like Super Smash Brothers... what the fuck? Vote Earthbound for President in 2004 |

I'll make sure to pick them up then... If I ever get a GBA SP that is. Seems they're sold out all over the country and new shipments aren't expected to arrive until may - one of Nintendo's little marketing tricks to build demand I guess... They're always so coy with their fans. I would have picked up The Soft Boys 'Nextdoorland' today as well but the record shop only had one copy and the case was cracked. I can't deal with that. And we're supposed to have sleet tomorrow now too? My life is horrible. |

nice pic(k)s OPhecks... they even share me up. I got up one hour too soon, and I only slept one hour tonight... Well.. atleast I'm in school and I won't be late. Also today I'll be going to my hometown and meet my parents, and friends... groovy =) |

share me up >>> cheer me up! I am that tired... |

|
Ophecks, how annoyed were you that Mother 3 for 64dd was never released and that the 64dd was so limited? A lot? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:\ I'm almost there! |
||||||||

How much memory does GBA SP have? Is it enough for MP3's? |
||||||||
|
|

Want to give me a summary of Earthbound's story and\or gameplay? After fine combing the internet for hours I found on a dusty text-only webpage last updated in 1996, "a light-hearted rpg aimed at children". That certainly explains your attraction but I'd really like a more thorough description. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
holy christ on a stick, i love Earthbound. that, secret of mana 2 and chrono trigger are my favorite games from the 16 bit era. long live snes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Total bullshit, whoever wrote that summary is a retard. There's too many clever pop culture references and cute little in-jokes for it to be ''aimed at children''. Whoever wrote that was just judging it on its graphics. I want to find out who wrote this and eat them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. "for children"???? its obviously aimed at pop culture savvy teenagers and older. excellent game. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wasn't the American Secret of Mana 2 for Playstation? Re: Earthbound - So what is it then? Is it an rpg? Do you fight monsters and horde gold? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think there is a secret of mana for playstation. i might be wrong though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
http://starmen.net/mother2/ that might help you out a bit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Typical Final Fantasy gameplay with a very NON-typical atmosphere and feel. You hoard gold, but you store it in the bank and withdraw it from ATM machines. You use rulers and baseball bats instead of swords and axes. You don't have elixirs or potions, but you order pizzas and eat your mom's cooking. Things get really insane later on though, aliens and whatnot. There's really nothing to compare it to... it's a riot and a no risk venture. |

how i wish earthbound 64 had been released in the us. or maybe it was and i missed something. |

Thanks. Here's one for you : http://www.squaresoft.com/web/games/LOM/ |

|

Oh wow, awesome site! And ''Earthbound 64'' didn't get finished or released... not that I care much. It didn't look like anything to get excited about anyway. Would've been a 64DD game, but that thing never went anywhere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, true. but for gamecube.... |
