The only reason the original GBA and GBA SP were backwards compatible was because they had the Z80 processor of the GB/C crammed into them (do they even make those anymore?). Remember that the GB Micro wasn't compatible with GB/C. So, they might do it, but that would surely increase the price. --- End quote --- I had it confirmed it is backwards compatible with GBC and GB games according to the Rep I talked to @ the TooManyGames EXPO, Also there shooting for a price under 100 Dollars is all they told me price wise!!! |

The official info on it clearly shows composite AV output as well. --- End quote --- thats weird the ones they had @ TooManyGames only had HDMI, but maybe they changed that within the last half a Month also the SD card slot is missing in this Diagram, they told me the main purpose is to use it to update the system also there was a nifty system they told me about that allows you to take info from existing games that dont work on the system e-mail the Data and they will make an patch for it also you may be able to play games via the SD card |

I actually mentioned that. But it's a non-issue for me after seeing what S-Video does for my consoles. I don't use composite any more unless there's no other option, and if I were to get a Retron 5, the delay introduced by HDMI would leave me with no choice but to use composite. |

HDMI doesn't lag. Your TV or monitor may add lag if it's doing extra processing on the image (HDTVs are particularly notorious for this), but the signal itself is not delayed. |

Do tvs usually just do extra processing for HDMI or are there other inputs that can lag on certain tvs also? Is there a gamer's guide on tvs available? |
