Portagame is reporting that the new version of the GBA Movie Player (not the one from Nintendo, but a third-party one) is now not only thinner, but also allows you to play emulated games from ROMs, be they legal homebrews or less-than-legal warez copies. It’s only $25 at Lik-Sang, and I almost ordered one to try it out, but then was struck by my Lik-Sang curse – my shopping cart was literally at $150 before I was out of the Nintendo section and on to the Playstation one, so I had to close the whole window and pretend it never happened. If you’ve got stronger resistance to Lik-Sang’s importy goodness, you might give it a try.
Oh, and the main reason to get the GBA movie player is that you can convert DVDs or whatever to the format, copy them to CF cards, and watch movies on the go. It’s a much better option than Nintendo’s sanctioned offering that limits what movies you can watch.
