I didn't know exactly where to post this so I decided that the Nintendo section was the best place.
I recently purchased the new DSi. It's a wonderful little machine and I love it completely. The thing is, like many of you probably know, it doesn't have a GBA slot anymore. Now it has the SD card slot. There isn't any way to play any old games on it anymore and it would be really cool if there was.
What I was thinking was because there is an SD card slot and the old DS lite was able to be hacked so that home brew works on it, isn't there a way to make it so emulators work through the SD card? I can't really think of a reason, other than Nintendo somehow blocking that, that it can't be done. I think that the system is defiantly powerful enough to emulate but why do you think no one has even tried it yet?
There have been many posts on other forums saying that it's impossible but not saying why. Just let me know what you think! ^.^
Wow ds lite owners can be so picky. I own a ds phat and all my gba games work great. Judog1 When you using a ds phat it doesn't matter what you use for a slot cover because the game sticks inside.
