GSM Player is an audio player made by porting the GSM RPE-LTP (also called GSM Full Rate) audio codec, which has been used in mobile phones, to the Game Boy Advance. Now you can use your GBA as a portable music player, with up to 150 minutes of Good Sounding Music on a 256 Mbit flash cart.
From mid-2004 to mid-2019, GSM Player for GBA went unmaintained, and changes to popular GBA homebrew toolchains rendered it unbuildable. The repository ports the application to a more recent version of devkitARM.
Building
If building from source:
make build/allnewgsm-bare_mb.gbapadbin 256 build/allnewgsm-bare_mb.gba- Convert audio files to GSM at 18157 Hz (a nonstandard rate).
- Pack them into a single GBFS file using gbfs included with devkitARM tools:
gbfs gsmsongs.gbfs *.gsm - Concatenate the player and the songs.
- On Windows:
copy /b build\allnewgsm-bare_mb.gba+gsmsongs.gbfs allnewgsm.gba - On UNIX:
cat build/allnewgsm-bare_mb.gba gsmsongs.gbfs > allnewgsm.gba
- On Windows:
If building from Release 20040823:
- Drop some .wav files in the wavs folder and then run Go.bat (Windows 95, 98, and ME users should run Go-win9x.bat instead).
- This should produce a ROM called gsm.gba, which you can write to a GBA flash cartridge.
