NDS Accessories and Add-Ons
GBA / NDS Media Player
Nintendo will be releasing a DS memory-card adapter for the transfer of MPEG-4 video and MP3s (32 - 320kbps) to the DS and Gameboy Advance. It will use a GBA cartridge with a slot for SD media (MMC) and will be backwards compatible with the GBA. Retail price is set to be about $50 US - although no immediate plans exist to distribute the product in the US.
Nintendo: Please release this in the U.S. soon.
Nintendo has explicitly mentioned ripping TV shows and taking them with you - and I, for one, find it hard to imagine Nintendo releasing a media player that only uses one of the two DS screens - as GBA cartridges currently do.
If you agree - then this implys that access to both screens and potentially both processors is possible from the GBA slot - a tantalizing capability currently unconfirmed. As if this announcement weren't exciting enough without the ancillary possibilities for misuse.
If true, this means a way to reuse those writable GBA flash carts to load DS software including DS Linux, homebrew software and all the rest....

GBA Flash Linker / Writer
GBA ROMs Backup
We use Flash Advance Linkers to backup games from Nintendo cartridges and burning games to special GBA Flash Cards. What we do is we connect the Gameboy to PC, put the game into GBA and than we run flash writer software - select gba rom backup option and in about 5 minutes the rom will be fully copied from the cartridge to computer hard driver! It is all very similar to how music can be copied from a CD and later burned to CDRW disk only here
MP3 = ROMS , CDRW = GBA Flash Card, CD Writer = Flash Writer
