yeah, the old DS, but the new one (DSi) doesn't have a GBA slot anymore.

anywhow , still they managed to have them cartridge retro compatible for long (more than 10 years), the fact they changed is pure market manipulation in order to save somewhere and make ppl spend more on something else.

the only thing that wasnt compatible was the virtual boy , but then again i remeber seeing an adaptator cartridge to run gb games in the vb.

oddly enought you can get the same adaptator cartridge to run virtual boy games in the n64.

my point , is obvious

i still say the new ds can run them , minus a lil time and soldering


Nintendo sues makers of DS hacking hardware
by Devin Coldewey on July 29, 2008

The modding issue has always been a touchy one. In case you’re not aware of it, there are available for almost every game console or handheld a number of hardware-based hacks that allow one to play pirated games and/or homebrew applications. These range from simple boot discs to soldering extra connectors to your console’s boards to simple flash drive-based frontends that take advantage of security holes in the system. Like P2P software (or, say, a gun), it’s not inherently illegal, but it is an enabler for illegal acts.

The DS’s well-known interface (the GBA cart interface) and extensive feature set have drawn pirates and developers alike. And very early in the handheld’s life, a special cartridge with writable memory (essentially a small flash drive with a GBA cart interface) became available. The types and capabilities soon multiplied, and in this writer’s opinion Nintendo missed the boat on containing this mess. While there is a burgeoning homebrew community for the DS and other consoles, it’s no surprise that more people use it to play pirated ROMs downloaded from the internet. Nintendo has had enough, apparently, and is suing five Japanese firms (unnamed)(R4 among others) associated with piratical behaviors. I could have just told you that in the beginning, but then I wouldn’t have been able to write all those words up there.

Update: Predictably, sales of the R4 Revolution (and others, I assume) have increased by a huge amount. Maybe there’s some insider trading going on here.
