Ugh!

I'm sure he's benefited from someone else's time, as he's using MAME. The least he could do is 'get around' to sharing the details of this hack with the community. A lot of people are looking to add this feature to their cab. My fingers are crossed...

ChadTower:
As I'm working on my cab, I'm seriously considering adding this.  When I do you can be sure I'll share the details as I don't see his having done anything that hard here.

Can you send roms to your GBA via the USB link?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just use an LCD that takes composite video?
A GBA costs $70-80, while you can get a 5" video display for ~$50.

It would be cheaper, have a bigger screen, a backlight (unlike GBA original), and be infinitely easier to drive.

Something like those portable playstation LCDs would work nicely.
Silver:
I imagine most people considering this already have a GBA so the cost is negligible.

Also - how would you connect a second screen up? You would either need a 2nd graphics card or a dualport - and in my experience that has a detrimental effect on performance, and restricts resolutions. I could be wrong though.....

GBA's (USB probably) and LCD's (serial port) have the advantage of not messing with te gfx output of the pc....
