Sorry. Really not sure where to else to ask this question. I just got Fire Linker for GBA. I'd like to find a way to play music on it. From what I understand, GBA cant really handle MP3s, so I'm willing to convert to whatever format I need to. So are there any good homebrew music player applications for GBA? Thanks.
Hrm... If my past experience serves me, no gba device plays mp3's, however on soem flash carts you can convert an mp3 into a format some carts can read. But I have never seen an media app for gba...only built in ones. I have a device called gba movie player-or GBAMP for short (V2 of this app) which does NES emulation, gb emulation but the main point is music and movies... Once in a certain format they will run on the device because of the firmware built in, the movies tend to lose a fair bit of quality and loses "sync". WHat's worse is mine can no longer do movies and or music since I got a modified firmware that allows all NES roms to work (by defualt only small nes games would run, now it plays any within 300kb). Try searching gbatemp to see if there is anything for you. (I miss the pioarate speech but it's is easier to understand )
I did a quick google search. There is a program called GSM GBA that allows you to play music on a GBA Flashcart. But the GBA is not powerful enough to decode MP3s, so you have to convert them to special files. A quote from the google hit I found:
