ProfileTechnical history and development notes

A different kind of handheld media

The Game Boy Advance was designed for games, not general-purpose movie playback. This project explored custom approaches to compressing video and presenting it on the device.

Conversion and playback

The development story includes PC-side conversion work and on-device movie playback. It illustrates the trade-offs between file size, image quality and playback performance on a constrained platform.
