GBA ATA / ATAPI Interface, also with gp32??

[Sonic-NKT]

Hi,
i found this on a gc dev board, and it sounds really cool, with this small piece of hardware you can connect the gba with any IDE device like cdrom or Harddisk...
is this also possible with the gp32? would be really cool for movies..
ok take a look at it:

I cound 6 pieces (including the GBA), all fairly large, and tenuously interconnected with ribbon cables. Plus I'm sure it needs a power supply. Not terribly portable anymore, is it?

It looks more like a proof-of-concept project than anything practical.

Anybody with enough hardware knowlege and free time could probably hook a HDD up to a GP32, but would it be worth it to lug 4 interface boards around?

Kind of defeats the object of portable consoles though doesn't it

yeah your right but a small portable hdd would be cool, which you can connect at one port and load the things on your smc without a pc.. but that would be expensive i think.

Cheaper to by a few SMCs I think
