That is REALLY clever. How about an onboard data acquisition system using the same hardware?

Unfortunately the Gameboy cartridges are ROM only, and the small amount of non-volatile RAM available on the cartridge (for game saves) wouldnt hold enough data to really be worth anything.

Along the same lines though is the maxQdata http://www.maxqdata.com/ leveraging the PocketPC architecture. (pretty cool system actually, can use GPS as well)

Shows you what we old guys know about video game systems, huh? I truly owned Playboy pinball at the MSU student union building in 1980...

yeah, it would be pretty slick if we could get that system going for NASA races. Would be a great resource for crews, and make it more interesting for the fans as well.
