Title: Nintendo DS backward compatability
Post by: crashwg on December 02, 2004, 08:36:24 pm

Anyone here have a DS and test out the backward compatability yet?  I'm wondering which screen you use for GBA games and what, if anything, is displayed on the other one.

I was wondering also about previous GB games.... would those work with the DS  like they do with the GBA?

You can play GBA games on the DS on either the top or bottom screen.

You can't play Game Boy Color or original games or use any GBA accessories.

however there are emulators that run GB and GBC games on the GBA.  If you ahve a flash card, you can play them this way.
