WHY I BUILT IT
After tape, I wanted pictures in there too. Nintendo once sold cartridges with video on them (the GBA Video line), and I wanted to make the next chapter myself. Re-packing a film into a 240×160 screen makes it rough, but the feel of video survives: the picture tearing on fast-forward, the wobble on pause. I built the feel, not the roughness.
