Beginners > GameBoy as a MP3 car interface

Id love to use a GBA to control either a pc in the back, maybe with winamp and a plugin, or with the www.pjrc.com project.

Anyone have any thoughts on this or maybe a application thats being worked on?

If your MP3 player has an RS232 serial input, you can throw the GBA's serial port into UART mode and talk to it that way.

A bit of an old topic, but I've been doing something similar, I think. Using Pogoshell and a headphone adapter, MODs and NSFs can be played on anything you can get an adapter for. A car stereo can use one of the CD-to-Tape converters available, or a headphone-to-RCA audio jack to plug it into whatever strikes your fancy.

Granted, it wouldn't have much memory for MP3s, but it's doable.
