v2.3.0: Now available on GBA!

Read this guide for how to convert a video to the .rvid format.

Max quality (16BPP RGB565) video playing on mGBA (with ags001/GBA SP shader applied)

What's new?

• Rocket Video Player has been ported over to the GameBoy Advance, bringing over the uncompressed video quality and the existing button controls as a result!
  • To use the GBA version, place rvid.gba in the same place as Vid2RVID.exe, then convert a video to get a new .gba file containing the video. Running the rvid.gba file by itself will only display a red/orange screen.
  • As the GBA ROM size limit is 32MB (without bank switching), you may not be able to play long videos.
  • Only 8-bit mono audio is supported.
  • Colors will display differently due to how the GBA screens display colors (see the above mGBA screenshot as a reference).
  • As the GBA version does not have a menu for browsing videos, pressing B will stop the video instead.
  • Refresh rate adjustment is not available.
• DS(i): If the bottom screen is turned off after pressing SELECT, touching the screen will turn it back on.
• DS(i): FIFO is now used instead of IPC Sync for playing sound.

Bug fixes

• Re-release, DS(i): Fixed where opening a video would cause a crash.
• Fixed a possible bug which caused the top/bottom fields to be swapped in 25/50FPS videos when jumping forwards/backwards.
