Es gibt ja viele "Tuning"-Teile für den GBA und wahrscheinlich wird der NDS da keine Ausnahme machen. Deswegen witme ich einen Thread für mehr oder weniger sinnvolle Erweiterungen rund um die portablen Konsolen von Nintendo.
Egal ob es nun ein TV-Tuner, MP3-Player oder eine Office-Erweiterung ist. Für Nintendos kleinste Konsolen finden sich immer wieder ein paar nette Gadgets.
Und hier das neueste, für alle Freunde von Auto-Tuning:
TurboXS DTEC
The Game Boy Advance becomes a tuning weapon.
August 10, 2004 - Leave it to TurboXS to take the Game Boy Advance and turn it into a mini-engine management tool. The East Coast-based tuning company is putting the final wraps on what it calls the DTEC. In essence, the DTEC is a TurboXS-proprietary interface that plugs into the existing GameBoy SP's link port. Once plugged into the Game Boy, the DTEC provides a fully-adjustable in-car system that can monitor exhaust gas temperature (EGT), Boost, rpm, air-fuel ratio and who knows what else.
According to Nathan over at TurboXS, "[It's] our interface. We want a lot of people to be able to use it and what we've decided is to make it a universal product." He was quick to remind us that you can still unplug the GBA and play some Super Mario when you're done tuning whatever it is you drive. He told us, "[The DTEC] doesn't change anything. You can still use it for everything you can use GameBoy for."
But what caught our attention was his next comment, "We could make it work on the DS (the upcoming Dual Screen handheld). It seems like we could from everything we've done on the research. We can make it work on the DS, I don't know what additional programming [is required] to use both screens. Definitely works on Advance and SP. We need to get one and find out."
Okay, so the next possibility is the DS. That would be hot as the menu-based system in the DTEC would run much better with a touch-screen versus the standard D-Pad and buttons. He elaborated on the possibility of using the DS with the DTEC, "What would happen it would just be a simple mode, but it would take some software hacking as a touch pad. I don't see a reason why we couldn't do that. Once we crack a Game Boy we can make it do whatever we want to."
We asked about integrating the DTEC system into other units such as the Power FC, F-Con, E-Mange or Reytech. After all, it makes a whole lotta sense to have a better display and more user-friend environment, "May look into at some point. It would be nice to serve an existing user base. We want to sell Game Boy fuel computers. There's no reason why we couldn't' do it, but it would take specific software work." That specific software work might not be worth the trouble. But only time will tell. The DTEC isn't even out yet and TurboXS is receive a huge response to the unit.
Pricing on the universal DTEC unit is still up in the air, but it will include the Smart Cable (with integrated microprocessor) and possibly one sensor of your choice. As of this writing, TurboXS will offer a MAP sensor, EGT (with thermal probe) and an rpm pick-up. Other options will be available as they are developed and tested. The first batch of DTECs will coming with a wire-in harness that users can splice with later versions providing vehicle-specific harness that will make installation just a matter of plugging one connector to another.
Like all other TurboXS products, support will be universal and increase as more DTECs are installed in different makes and models. Nathan hopes to include vehicle-specific installation instructions in the future. The warranty is a year from the date of purchase. For additional information, check out the official TurboXS site. We'll have a full installation and review in the near future.

-Wo mir grade endlos ideen durch den kopf schießen! Ein Wlan sender auf DS Frequenz könnte überall innerhalb von 30 metern angebracht sein und kabellose Übertragungen wären kein Problem. hmm... Nintendo sollte kodierte Sendeverfahren beim ds möglich machen ^^
