Question about the ds lite, dsi, and gba games. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I planned to get a dsi and emulate gba games, but it seems that the emulation is not too great. I see it’s even worse on the ds lite.

If I use a gba flash cart in the ds lite, should I have full compatibility?

Additionally, how does screen quality between the 2 compare? I don’t care much about the size, but overall picture quality.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! The seller I’m talking to has a gba sp so, I might pickup a dsi and sp if the price isn’t too high.

I’m also considering picking up a ds light from him instead, but I’d like the sp so I can also play my gameboy color games with backlight.

Something to note about the DS lite is that they did tend to have issues with the plastic on the hinge cracking. It happened to mine, but I did play the heck out of it.
