ShinmaRyuu Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 The idea was to build a 2GB MP3 player that had style and sleekness of an iPod but could work on pretty much any system i threw at it. Here is what i came up with. http://shinmaryuu.vox.com/library/post/gpod-nano-2gb.html GBA Micro, Super Card, 2GB SD Card, and a SD Card Reader. Came in around 50 bucks less that a iPod Nano 2GB and mine can play games and even Video if i want to be nuts. I'll have this ready in December with some video of it in action. To me this is the perfect use for a not so great handheld system to get some use. I am going to try it out with the Game Boy MP3 player as well once i get my hands on one from import.

Uncle Toxie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Pretty Nice Shinma! Does the GB Micro have a standard audio output? I have a GB SP and they still had those funky Nintendo headset jacks. Let me know when you have the video going of it in action, I would love to try this out!

You can see the normal headphone jack here on the right side. There are some third party adapters out there for the Nintendo one though if you dig around. I got a tad delayed by an oops on my part. I forgot i had one added to my christmas list so now i have to wait for Christmas before i move forward. I don't really want 2 GBA Micros lol. I am however going to gather up the rest of the supplies so i might have some little video about that before hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 What would this package look like with everything connected? The write-up didn't make it particularly clear what that Super Card SD is or does. Since it's effectively the heart of your project it might be worth while to expand on that a bit.

ShinmaRyuu Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 The super card is a "mod device" that fits in the game slot. You insert the SD card with media into it. Then insert the cart into the GBA Micro. It ends up looking just like a Micro with a game in it.

OtterFox Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 That is soooooooo cool! I want one of those! BTW I just had a thought, wouldn't the sound quality be crap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 why would the sound quality be crap? I'm sure its got enought processing power to churn out an mp3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
