DH Review: Movie Advance GBA Movie Player

Zardon · Jan 5, 2006, 01:03 PM

One of the major benefits of the PSP is that it can play mpeg 4 format movies (albeit with a tedious conversion and some format restrictions) and despite quotes coming from Nintendo that they were happy to focus solely on the gaming potential of their consoles there was a limited release in Japan some months ago of an official video add-on for the Nintendo DS. This official add-on is hard to acquire and is also quite expensive however with some searching on the net it became known to us that you could buy third party players that were compatible with Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS.

This thing is pretty cool, but frankly I cant stand watching anything on such a tiny screen.

Could you imagine that on a micro?

Its really a case of what you watch. The only thing i've found hard(ish) to watch was a football match i recorded... mostly it was fine but on some of the far back camera shots it was hard to pick out the ball.

Pretty cool stuff. I actually just ended up getting a supercard sd, and i've been pleased with it; great for gba/nds games of course, but has the capability to play vids, audio, and emulators as well.
