# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/syndr-flora/gba-video-player
cd gba-video-player
# Download an mp4 file

# Run the build script
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh badapple.mp4
The current implementation of this program decodes the video into images before the compile step. This inflates file sizes to be much higher than what a standard cartridge can fit (16MB or 32MB). The max video length it can do without a rewrite is about 5 seconds.
