DS into a home entertainment deviceSiggy @ Jun 07, 2006 07:12 | 13 comments
The Media Player cart is inserted into the slot used for DS games and the Compact Flash card into the GBA port using the Media Dock. You can browse using the featured browser and use the MAX Media Player to play MP3s and video footage as well as view JPEGs from your photo library. Datel's dock can also launch executable programs, such as home brew software, straight from the flash drive.
The MAX Media Dock, compatible for both DS and DS Lite, will be available this week and is sold in three versions. Without the Compact Flash card for $29.99, with a 1GB CF card for $54.99 and with a 2GB CF card for $84.99.

Comment by: Darshe (Jun 07, 2006 17:00) These movie players have been doing thier rounds for a while now, though this one does include specific DS funcions rather than being purely GBA so it sounds like they finally got it right. Reminds me of when i used to watch tv on my friends Gamegear, may be small but your not going to be watching epic movies on it anyway, maybe last nights 24 or CSI, these things are fine on a smaller screen. Also, the emulation scene is growing well, all but Snes games are emulated pretty well, since this allows the use of them it could well be worth the price. |

Comment by: mark5hs (Jun 09, 2006 10:15) actually, PSP has had a hard drive for about a year now. It was 4Gb for $200 so it was basicly a waste of money |
