The GameIO card Is a good device for electronics enthusiasts and hobbyists. The device sits sturdy in the GBS slot like any other GBA cartridge would do. However there is almost no documentation, which makes it hard to get started. Also if a CPLD is new to you, you'll probably have through a learning curve to write your own code for the CPLD. This besides the fact that the Xilinx development suite will claim 4,5 GB of your harddrive...
Good news is that, for general purpose IO, CPLD software is already available. This should be enough for a lot of electronics projects. I hope that in the near future documentation will be made and perhaps an expanded set of pre-built CPLD code is made available for this device.
