The offical chinese website of the offical gba movie player has stated that 2 brand new players will be released.

Here are the details (in chinese)
G6flash card: http://www.gbalpha.com/gbalpha/GBAMedia3/G6.htm
M3 card: http://www.gbalpha.com/gbalpha/GBAMedia3/M3.htm

Only the M3 card can expand its memory by using CF or SD card. However G6 is like a normal flashcard, so it is more compact.

Comparision of their 2 cards with supercard (in chinese): http://www.gbalpha.com/gbalpha/GBAMedia3/table.htm

They claim that the G6 and M3 can played gba games which requires no patching unlike supercard, no slowdown on all games, support RTC (real time clock) and RTS (real time save), able to play movies encoded by crystal engine, play NDS games with their passkey (passme), nice GUI interface, approximated battery life of 9 hours compared to supercard, etc.  

Maybe romman should consider making the new playfilm.bin now.

...sweet...

I'll get whichever of the two is better...er, 3 (those 2 and supercard)

Wonder what the price will be?

[wudi]

Well they claim that in the table G6 and M3 are far better than SC. In fact they have banners and links(http://www.gbalpha.com/GBalpha/GBAMedia3/choose.htm)
on their website asking the consumers to choose their products instead of supercard and to distingish between the their products and supercard.

They also make a comparsion between G6 and M3 so that comsumers know which to get.

BTW the section is rather new, thus not much details on the price are given.

The chinese and the english websites offers useful software and even converted movies for viewing. So the competition is quite tough for supercard.

if it can deliver i'll be all for the M3

[Ramin]

Yeah, same here...

I think this forum should eventually evolve to accomodate discussion of all three players.

Wow... I just went through the comparison charts...

NDS touch screen menu!

WAITAMINNIT! SNES GAMES!!! NO WAYYYYYYYYYY! Oh dear Lord...

[wudi]

you need the snes emulator, rather a rom maker to produce a .gba file from .smc file to play snes games, however no sound though.  It is good that the makers of GBAMP are trying very hard to make G6 and M3 compatible with DS, after all some NDS games do use the touch screen.

It will have be using the SNESAdvance emulator which has extremely low compatibility and no sound.

:eek:

You guys serious? How do you know it uses SNESAdvance? It may use a form of SNES9x. After all, the PSP already has a version of SNES9x out.

SNESAdvance is the only SNES emulator for the GBA that exists.

[Minger]

What if they have been secretely developing something?  :eek:

...being hopeful never hurt. :cry:

[Ramin]

SNESAdvance is the only SNES emulator for the GBA that exists.

Yes, but this also uses the DS function of the DS, so it may be using that, especially since it does use the DS's touch-screen capability.

I'm referring to the M3, by the way. The one that has the DS card AND the GBA SD slot.

I dunno... just makes more sense that way.

[Minger]

that and hopeful support for the DS's extra 2 buttons to match the SNES.

[onarum]

you think those will be avaible at lik-sang or play-asia maybe?  it's the only way i can get them where I am.

DS capabilities be damned, there's no SNES emulator for the DS.  So it's got to be using SNESAdvance.
