How is the movie viewing on the GBA?
is it choppy or of low resolution?
Also I have heard they can be used to play roms but the games run slower.
Is this device of any use?
Can movies be played on the GBA with good quality?

i bought myself a Super Card which is like the GBA movie player but plays games as well using a compact flash card.
The videos are great quality. If you want mp3s though it's terrible. And photos is pointless (what're you gonna do? show people pics of family members on your GBA?) and thhe GBA games is plays are at full speed with realtime save state support as well as cheat functions.

It's a great little card but not all games support the cheat function, not all games support the save function, it has no internal clock so time oriented games like pokemon will have limited functionality (you can still play it you just can't engage in things that take place at certain times of the day) and some games aren't supported at all. There is a list of the games and stuff somehwere. Also you have to convert EVERYTHING to put ont he card' mp3s, films, gba games, nes games, everything. It's a pain and some movie codecs and file formats don't work (xvid for one, divx is questionable) but the cf cards you can use go up to 2Gig so if you have one of those it doesn't matter how big the film is.

If you want to find out more you can go Here and you can find all you need to know.
