Not that it matters, but it'd be 44100 samples pr. second if we're only talking about a 22050Hz stereo audio stream. For a mp3 or mp2 decoder it would be...

Well, when you think that standard MP3 fits around 20+ hours of music at 128k quality into about 1.2Gb, then on your standard 20Gb HDD that would be very...

Absolutely. Rather than build a hard disk interface specifically for the GBA, wouldn't it be better to build something more like the IPOD, but with a general...
You definitely should NOT use a power supply with the USB linker when using the USB port. The power over the USB port is more than enough for the linker....

You should definately use it with a power supply. Even though it draws power from the USB port it probably doesn't get enough and messes up the flashing...
