Game Boy Advance games — Nintendo DS…?

Posted: 04-05-2010 | 05:09:53 Category: nintendo game boy ds

Okay, so I just got a nintendo ds a few weeks ago. I’ve heard that you can put Gameboy Advance games in and play them on the DS. Is this true? Do I just put the games in the game slot 2, the bigger one, and I can play it just fine?

I just want to make sure before I, you know, buy a GBA game x]

If it helps the game I’m talking about getting specifically is Pokemon Leaf Green or Fire Red from the GBA era.
Thanks for the help everyone :]

And yes Mark, I do have Diamond so that will be cool =D

Yes, it works just fine…

I HIGHLY suggest that you buy pokemon diamond as well… After diamond is completed, you can actually TRANSFER your pokemon from the GBA cartidges to your pokemon diamond version!

Example:

I have a lvl 50 Venusaur in my Leaf Green… By talking to a person in Diamond Version, I can transfer the Venusaur to my DS chip… Please note that the Venusaur will actually move, and not be copied to the chip, which means that your leaf green version will be quite useless after you have transferred… =)

Good Luck,
Mark

    mate it works fine dont have any hesistation on buying gba games for you DS, it will just play on the top screen. You will not need to use the stylus pen for GBA games as there is no touch screen function for them.
