Some great news from Lik Sang [br][br] The GBA Movie Player is one of the most popular GBA accessories and enables you to use your Gameboy Advance™ or Gameboy Advance SP™ to play video and audio files and read e-books from standard Compact Flash™ cards. You can use your PC and a normal Compact Flash card reader to transfer and convert your media files to the Compact Flash cards. There are currently 90 reviews (!!) for the GBA Movie Player, with an average rating of 4.5 stars on our GBA Movie Player page. Your GBA is not complete without this must-have add-on![br][br]The GBA Movie Player is not licensed, sponsored or supported by Nintendo. The difference to the AM3 Player (available in Japan only) is that you can play your own movies, while with the official one you can only play what you buy in a retail store. The AM3 Player cannot record your own movies, pictures or e-books, but the GBA Movie Player can without any limitations.[br][br]GBA Movie Player V2 - The New Version (US$ 24.90)[br][br]The new version of the GBA Movie Player, smaller, cooler, and with new hot features, will be released within a week and pre-orders are being accepted already now. The 2nd version of the popular device doesn't require a GBA cartridge to play your movies and is shipping for US$ 24.90. it now includes a new English user guide, a newly designed packing, the software CD with the now faster and easier to use Windows Software, and the Movie Player Demo CD you will only get at Lik Sang. Please place your order now to get your hands on the 2nd version as soon as it is out.[br][br]The Comparison Shots[br][br]Here are a few images to show you the difference between the old and the new versions. The other device you can see is the AM3 version, the officially licensed player (that can't play your own movies and images).[br][br]The Free Firmware Update - For all Existing Users[br][br]Next to the new hardware version, there are also some good news for all the current GBA Movie Player users. The new and free Firmware Upgrade will integrate a few new features to your player and fix existing bugs. Along with the new Windows Software that has been reworked (now easier and faster to use), the update also comes with a FC games player to emulate your homebrew stuff. Please take a closer look for more details on the features at the discussions in the GBA Movie Player Support Forums or just download the upgrade from our product page and start right away. Please note that the Firmware included with the Windows Software has already been replaced by the new one available on the product page or in the forum as well.[br][br][br]Cheap and Simple Compact Flash Reader for your PC (US$ 5.90)[br][br]For all of you who have no use at all for a Multi Card Reader 6in1 or anything like this, there is now a cheap alternative device, the Compact Flash Card Reader / Writer, for US$ 5.90 only. If you own a digital camera or a MP3 player using a Compact Flash, Smart Media, SD Card (etc), you might still want to consider the faster USB2 Multi Card Reader 6in1.
