A DS With no GBA slot is just utter nonsense. Being reverse compatible is one the DS's best features, and game companies have taken advantage of it more than once. Like importing pokémon from a GBA Pokémon game inserted in the GBA slot to Diamond/Pearl, just to name one instance.

I don't know what special features this no DS slot would have, and frankly I don't really care, because unless they can make it sit up and beg, I don't see it working out.

There are no homebrew GBA emulators for DS flashcarts, however DS flashcarts are programmed to link with GBA flashcarts through the DS's native GBA-DS cart connectivity, so a DS Flashcart natively works with a GBA Flashcart.

In the instance of the M3 DS Real, you put the GBA roms directly onto the DS Flashcart, and when you select a GBA game the game gets transfered to the M3 GBA flashcart in the bottom slot automatically, and the game starts.

**Stavvy** · 05/06/08, 02:34 AM

So you have to have both DS and GBA flashcarts to run the GBA roms?

Early congrats on 10k posts, TMM.

TheMuffinMan · 05/06/08, 08:56 AM

Yeah, the both in conjunction lets you play GBA games, though a standalone DS Flashcart will play DS games, and all Emulators of consoles pre-PS1. Which is why I suggest the M3 Real, because it comes with a GBA Flashcart packaged with the DS Flashcart.

Hmm, I didn't even notice I was close to 10K posts.

**Stavvy** · 05/06/08, 01:19 PM

And it's only $20 plus shipping, correct?

I'll try to convince my parents to get that for me, since I can't order it by myself. . .

Sooo... the next two games I'm going to get off of the WiiShop channel, Dr. Mario for the WiiWare, and Pokemon Puzzle League for Virtual Console. Seriously, puzzle games are amazingly, addictingly, awesomely fun!

**Haku** · 05/06/08, 09:37 PM

I really enjoy puzzle games as well, PPL for the N64 is one of my all time favorites the next in line would be that Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

It actually took me awhile to get used to it since I was so accustomed to playing PPL at the time which no one that I know personally has ever been able to beat me in.

don't know if its been announced yet or if everyone already knows but the Nintendo channel is available for download, it also has the ds demo download which is cool

The only reason why people hate puzzle games is because they are too dumb to figure out what to do. HO NOES! THAYR'S PEECEZ FALLING FROM TEH SKY!!! HOW DO I MAKE A TETRIS?!!?!?
