I wrote to Jonne (Pokitto author).And He will be happy to see Pokittos in your shop.Also Pokitto emulator for Pyra/Pandora will be very cool!I'm actually thinking of asking them whether I can resell it in my shop... nice to see so much interest here
While reading their forum someone pointed out that you don't need the arms and legs for that since the things that hold it together in the corners of the main body are also hollow, so you can use those for a lanyard or whatever. It turns out that the arms and legs are there because the people making it just wanted them. I guess they fit Lego stuff, which it was partially intended to be used with.
I only looked into the technical stuff a bit. It would be cool if we could get the two working together for some things more directly than with USB. I can't think of why or how yet, but who needs a reason and an easy way? That takes away from the fun. "Because I can!"
But at the same time, you need to pay extra for either a flashcart, or plenty of money for actual nintendo carts if you want to do everything above board. The polkitto is designed to be hackable. I don't know how powerful that M0 chip is but the GBA had a full featured 32-bit A7 plus fancy asics doing sprite stuff and mode 7 stuff I assume, so even if the M0 is clocked significantly faster I don't expect the games to be of the same quality as GBA games, but wiring the thing up to a breadboard and getting to blink some lights or downloading a game then tweaking it and flashing it to your polkitto is a different kind of fun to that of playing any Nintendo game I can think of.
Wow. I did my coding for the GBA on a PC.
Actually there is Unix for GBA so it can be done...http://www.kernelthread.com/publications/gbaunix/so.html
There will be VLSI VS1053 midi/mp3/wav etc interface...Like cartridge.Pokitto without anything can stream wav music from SD card.Pokitto will cost 30-50euro...
