GameBoy Accelerometer
The GBAccelerometer is a 3-axis accelerometer that plugs into the Gameboy Advance link port to enable full motion sensing on the Gameboy Advance.
It is the first motion sensor that can be used for homebrew GBA development, and the first 3-axis accelerometer available for handheld gaming.
Information
The tri-axis accelerometer communicates with the GBA using SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) through the link port. Custom software turns the accelerometer on, reads the accelerations, and controls the display based on the accelerometer readings.For more information and source code for Ham and DevKit Pro, download the GBAccelerometer QuickStart Guide (zip).
There are many uses for the GBAccelerometer
* Tilt Sensing
* MotionSensing
* Gesture Recognition
* Possibilities are endless
Games or applications can be written or modified to work with the GBAccelerometer, using the C code that is available from this website.

More Details
For more details about the GBAccelerometer and to discuss the use of it, see the gbadev forum at http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=9660
To use these games with the GBAccelerometer, you will need to put them on a GBA flash cartridge and plug the GBAccelerometer into the link port.
There are no emulators that support the GBAccelerometer. For motion sensing capabilites on the DS and DS Lite, see the DS Motion Pak.
