There is one thing that the DS lacks...I know if they made an adapter for it, I'd buy it, and so would ALOT of others...A GBC player...It'd be so awesome if they came out with one for it, don't yall' think so?
yeah that would be good. I dont understand why the ds slot cant play gb games, the gba one couldMoleyPoley123
It's a money issue. When the GBA first came out they were still releasing GBC games. When they came out with the GBA SP they weren't (which is why the SP couldn't play GBC games). The only reason the DS even plays GBA games is because they're still releasing GBA games.

Dang maybe it's the Micro I'm thinking of then?
The DS can't play GB and GBC games because the board doesn't have the Z80 processor from the earlier iterations of the GB. It's most likely due to a lack of space on the board...

Dang maybe it's the Micro I'm thinking of then? Yeah, as far as I know, the Micro can't play GB/GBC games.
Yeah, I know about that whole processor thing...It could be included in the adapter. The concept is pretty much just like the e-Reader...If yall' have doubts that it wouldn't work, there is something else... http://www.gameland.se/images/gba_famicom_nes_player.jpg http://www.gameland.se/images/gba_famicom_nes_player_back.jpg Those 2 images are of a third party adapter that allows the GBA SP to play NES cartridges. Whether or not this is a legal device, I'm not sure. I am only using it as an example of how adapters could work for the DS to play GBC games.
