Hey people, is there any way to hook the Gameboy Advance SP to an iPod, so that the iPod could be used as a storage facility for the Gameboy? I could store dozens of games on my iPod since I only use about 4 GB and I have an extra 11 GB to go around. The SP has a USB connector so it could in theory plug into the iPod.

Besides the physical issues, software connectivity issues (given that neither the iPod nor the GBA has any sort of application support for controlling the hardware), there's also the legal issue. Duplicating video games (whether cartridge, CD, or DVD-based) is illegal. Storing such games on an iPod would be piracy. Therefore, no company will ever develop this sort of thing.

I'm not talking about a company. I just mean an open-source project.

Wrong. You can Duplicate any game you want provided YOU own it and only one copy of the game is running at any one time. Consumer Rights.

From the Golden Sun instruction book, page 58:
"Copying any Nintendo game is illegal and is strictly prohibited by domestic and international copyright laws. 'Backup' or 'archive' copies are not authorized and are not necessary to protect your software. Violators will be prosecuted. This Nintendo game is not designed for use with nay unauthorized copying device... The contents of this notice do not interfere with your statutory rights."
The act of copying itself is a violation of the copyright law. So there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth.
