    So the purpose of the video was to see the limits of the GBA without playing games? Whats the point in that...

    Woooo.....I actually knew the GBA had potential. Have you tried playing the Lord of The Rings GBA game? The intro can actually play scenes from the movie.

    companies have never done anything like that, unfortunately. That was made by a small group of enthusiasts.
