I was wondering, would it be possible to make a media player for the 32X?

I propose a cartridge based system, and use the sega cd as the media to hold the, well, media

perhaps simple MP3 support, and VCD for one..

i think the 32X could be up to this, in a way.. obviously it won't be hardware decoding, but software decoding, and may be choppy, but something could be done, right?

fonzie?

you sound like the person for something like this

Software MP3 decoding requires much raw CPU power. Depending of code, quality and platform, it can vary in very big range - I saw numbers from 7.5 to 50+ MIPS. I doubt that SH2 (estimated 20MIPS) has enough power to port some free MP3 codec on it.
