2600 to GBA SP..

Anyone ever see that little attachment that goes on a GBA SP to play original Famicom games?! Wonder if it's possible to do something similar and have it be able to plug in 2600 games.

I suppose it could be done.......the best way to do it would probably be to hack an atari 2600 board to be only 4x4 inches, then attach it to the GBA AV in adapter, and then hook up batteries to it all, and then you'll have an Atari 2600-GBA adapter

but then make your own controls

you could perhaps even attach wires from the GBA buttons and connect them to the atari

I have a GBA, and I like this idea a lot... but I don't have an Atari 2600 and won't get one until hell freezes over, even then, I probably won't have one

But I might do something with a noac, because the one I have sucks, and for the controls... I'll think of that later.

So, another thing on my list of crap to buy, here goes:

Nano-ITX mobo
I-Pod (which I'm getting for Â£20

)
GBO (for some reasons)
PSone
PSone Screen
Hip Gear Screen
Radica Genesis Version 1 (which I'll get for my birthday

) (Which isn't soon

)
Gamecube (maybe)
Noac!
GBA AV Adapter

Current Balance: Â£2

Wow.... lots of saving up to do!

I always thought it would be cool to out a chopped up atari 2600 board in a normal GBA. It can actually be done! The screen would have to be outside the case though....

I'm thinking of putting a NOAC in my GBA, with an adaptor to create a very small NES which can be taken anywhere really, I can get hold of quite a lot of NES cartridges easily where I live, with the controls wired to the GBA buttons and obviously an AV Adaptor

I have a rather interesting idea for you:
Instead of having the cart connector on the GBA, have a cable that extends from the GBA to your pocket.
That way you could have the NES cartidge in your pocket instead being in the way of your hands like that Game Admiral (I think that ws the one that looked like a GBA..). Whatcha think?

I think the many feet of cable needed for that would create too much attenuation.

Someone is just selling me an Ipod that works and everything for Â£20

Guess I'll be waiting for the 2600 on a Chip to come out. Would be nice to have just about every game on a 1 gig SD card.
