thats why it thought it was that. I dont see how putting a game on a big screen would help to create code. if you want to see what your gameboy game looks like, play it on a gameboy.

I actually just picked up a MIB Pelican GBA TV Tuner/Monitor from a local retro game store. It allows A/V and RF input, and A/V out. Only cost me $15. It works with GBA and SP.

Yeah it's pretty neat, surprisingly great quality when plugging in game systems.

Btw I asked the guy selling the dev kit some questions,
I asked what model Gameboy it was inside, and if it was an Nintendo officially licensed product. Also asked if you could plug in a different controller from the one he's providing.

His response,
"It only plays licensed games so it is licensed hardware. Based on the games it plays, it is a plain old Gameboy. It uses a SNES controller, that plugs into a 25 pin port on the front (Possibly for other things then just a controller?)"

BS. Not licensed hardware. Obviously not a DMG, because you can see it playing a GBA game. And no "generic SNES controller".

Apparently it's a GBA with an SP cartridge slot.

Yes it is!

Here's a picture of a Balloon Kid EPROM cart: http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1Y3NDU … S4u3WuM%3A

And I remember reading a thread on here about EPROM cartridges. Mayhaps involving Timbob.
