For those out there with a DS original and a DS Lite, do you ever play your old GBA games on your DS anymore? I never had a GBA or anything so I am not sure how the quality on the DS with GBA games fare as opposed to the original hardware it was meant for.

I'd like to hear your answers.

I have a DSi so I can't. But I have a GBAsp so it isn't a problem. But I played GBC games on the GBA and it looked a little better.

Not anymore, I've played and finished all GBA games that I like. I have a DSi now but I kept my DS lite just incase I want to play some GBA games again. GBA games looks the same on the DS as when you play them on a GBA.

All the time. I have a lot of GBA games, so I still play them a lot. I have a GBA SP, but I reserve that sucker for my older Gameboy games.

I still use my GBA games all the time. I still play the Pokemon games so I can transfer them to Pokemon Diamond. I also still play Harvest moon: Friends of Mineral town and Sword of Mana.

Nope, and that's one of the reasons why I didn't hesitate to buy a DSi

Golden Sun basically lives in my GBA slot. And the quality is fine, it's usually better, mainly because the DS has brighter screens.

Yep I do, the GBA Pokemon games are the reason I kept my Lite when I got a DSi, and having the two is great because i no longer need to borrow my girlfriends DS to transfer Pokemon.

Yes I do. A Link to the Past, Metroid Fusion, Fire Emblem and M&L: Superstar Saga are some fantastic GBA games I'm really glad I can enjoy on my Lite.

After I got my DS Lite, I stopped playing GBA games. Now that I have a DSi, well I can't play GBA games anyway.

I honestly don't play my GBA games too often anymore. Almost all the ones I have are Pokemon games.

I started playing the Castlevania Double Pack, but I'm playing it on my SP. My Lite has a broken hinge, so it can get kind of annoying playing it. Since I have to hold it open.

I never had a GBA but once I got my DS Lite I was able to play LoZ:MC and Metroid Fusion. Those are all I have for GBA and yes, I still play them from time to time

I did once or twice but I never owned a GBA so I didn't have any games, just borrowed some. So when I got the DSi I wasn't missing anything.

I only bought a DS Lite recently, and only have one DS game for it. :P For now, I think I'll stick with DS games for the most part, with maybe one or two exceptions, but I do plan to use that feature eventually. There are a lot of games out for it that I'm interested in trying out, it's just that I'd prefer to explore the newer games before really getting into those games.

I play them all the time. I've picked up a lot of awesome gba games pretty cheaply, and I never had a gba, so I play them on my lites. I am planning on getting a dsi in the next couple months (there are some dsiware games I'd love), but I'm going to keep both my lites. I could never sell them!

Yeah, I still do. I sold my old GBA, so my DS Lite is the only way I can play GBA games now, and I play them just as often as I always have. I just replayed Tales of Phantasia kinda recently, and I even bought a new one I just haven't gotten around to yet. Final Fantasy VI.

Not including a GBA slot in the DSI angers me. It's one of the reasons I didn't buy it.

Heck yes. Its one of the reason why I bought a Lite in the first place. The graphics are MUCH cleaner looking on the DS than the GBA.

Of course. I love going back and replaying Breath of Fire II, Golden Sun, and Pokemon Ruby on my DS. I refuse to get a DSi because of my GBA slot.

Hell yeah, it's why I haven't upgraded to a DSi yet, much as the XL tempts me. I'm still playing Pokemon LeafGreen and the GBA Metroids and Superstar Saga and...
