| Doom:
Get a DS lite now (or wait for black Friday) if you're short on cash. Then years from now go straight to a 3DS. Don't bother with a DSi -- 3DSs can play all DSi-only games, of which there are only a small number that are worth your time. (Maybe 10 or less.) |

I've heard the DSTwo has some problems with GBA emulation but that was a while ago so I don't know if they fixed that. I used a Slot 2 flashcard on my DS Lite to play perfectly emulated games about 4 or 5 years ago. Unless you can get a DSi cheap I think DS Lite or 3DS are better choices. |

I had an R4i flash card on a 3DS and games ran, but I could never get any games I emulated to save. (DS games saved, but Game Gear and GBA RPGs wouldn't) Also I would suggest an XL, I like my 3DS XL and my brother has a DSi XL and its pretty nice, his DSi is the reason I upgraded my 3DS |

Still way confused over what I'd need to emulate GBA games on a DS though... Seems like the DSTwo is a one and done type of card (ie can house GB, GBC, & GBA roms). But, seems like people have better luck with GBA compatibility using a GBA slot 2 flash cart on a DS Lite. Kinda boggling my mind right now there. Mainly interested in having some of the more expensive titles that I can't afford and homebrew games, but it would be nice to have something to hold a large number (ie 250 or so) of GB/GBC/GBA roms (of games I already own) for when I'm traveling so as not too have to bring along a bunch of actual cartridges. But, one thing's certain... Gonna start by hunting down a DS Lite or DSi, just depends on finding the right one at the right price. Will figure out the emulator/rom thing later. --- Quote from: larryinc64 on September 15, 2013, 12:09:16 PM ---Ace Attorney series Contra 4 Drawn To Life Elite Beat Agents Kirby Super Star Ultra Mario Kart DS New Super Mario Bros.
