can a Nintendo DS lite play gameboy advance games?

Question

i have a nintendo ds lite and i looked on ebay for games and it has a bag with 5 'gameboy advance' games in it.

do they work in a nds lite?

if they do, what quality?

its not touch screen is it ? coz gameboys never had touch screen lol

thanks :)

Answer 1

yes they work but i dont think cartridge link is accepted, and it doesn't matter which screen you play with becaues the the GBA games are not programmed to play with the touch screen so they only use buttons



also the new DSi doesnt allow for gameboy advanced games,



Furthermore only GBA games will play in the bottom slot, GBC and GB games are not playable

Answer 2

Yes a Nintendo DS Lite will but make sure it isn't a Nintendo DSi (The newest version) because they replaced the GBA slot with a camera.



It only uses one screen which you can set and no it isn't touch screen, the quality is very good and I prefer it to playing it on the GBA because the screen is bigger and there is a backlight so you can see what you're doing.

Answer 3

It will work on the DS Lite and play the same quality as a GBA would.



Touch screen use is disabled in GBA games but you can switch screens to play the game on.

Answer 4

Yes,that's what SLOT-2 is for.

Average GBA quality(since its using the same hardware[in gba mode])which means no touch.
