Since this is a VCR question, it all has to do with the speed the tape runs through the VCR. The faster the tape, the higher the quality of the video you're recording because the recorder is able to put more picture information on the tape.
SP, or standard speed will allow a VHS tape to record for a period of 2 hours and will provide the highest quality picture. EP (which has for the most part, been dropped by the manufacturers) would record for four hours and LP, which is the slowest speed, will record for six hours, but with degraded video. This is of course, based on the standard VHS cassette. They do make an 8 hour tape, which will run at approximately 2 hrs and 40 minutes at SP, 5 hours and 40 minutes at EP, and eight hours at lp. Most stores don't carry the T-160 tapes and they are a bit more expensive.
Most VCR's manufactured today will still play an EP recorded tape, but cannot record at that speed.

∙ 15y agoSP is Short Play, EP is Extended Play, LP is Long Play. There are different medias that use these designations. For example, in VHS tapes, SP is typically 2 hrs, whereas EP is 4 and LP is 6. In records, LPs are around 70 minutes, I believe, and SPs and EPs are smaller.

it should. i looked it up on the Nintendo site and they say that the only difference between an SP and a GBA is just outter style/look. Hence why the GBA SP is called SP. SP stands for Special. it said the insides are still the same so as i said before, it should work.
