    I still use my DS Lite for GBA games, like the DSi XL for DS games.

    I have the DS Lite and DSi from when I was younger, I have to buy a replacement battery and charger for my lite though. Love both of the consoles.

    Hacking a DSi XL and dumping your own roms is so easy nowadays, that I recommend it over any other DS.

    If you're looking into buying one, I recommend buying either the DSiXL or the DSLite (With a flashcard that can run TwiLightMenu). In my opinion a .5mp camera isnt a well enough change to switch to the dsi, getting rid of the GBA port. The bigger screens would make it considerable

      You don't even know what you are talking about. You can play all GBA games on DSi and DSi XL. Only on DSi & DSi XL you can literally store thousand of GBA games on your SD card, where you can also store DS, DSi, GBC, NES, GB games and run them instantly, you can run DS games in DSi mode, using DSi's 16 MB ram and better CPU, so that the game never loses any frames, and have all those games (DS, DSi, GBC, NES, GB) on a better screen.

      Preferring bigger screens doesn't mean you have bad eyesight. They don't even make any modern phones, let alone handhelds with a screen size comparable to the DS Lite/DSi, because most people just prefer bigger screens and their eyesight is fine.

      Yeah great times… that was before the 3DS where they literally used TN screens on the 3DS XL and then mixed up TN / IPS displays on the New 3DS XL. You could get a TN only New 3DS XL, you could get a top IPS / TN bottom 3DS XL, you could get a top TN / IPS bottom New 3DS XL and if you were very lucky you could get an IPS only New 3DS XL.. why would Nintendo do that ? Couldn’t they just stick to IPS only 3DS / New 3DS XLs like they did with the DSi XL ?

    Grew up with the Old NDS. Played on it until it basically disintegrated. It was definitely fun and very playable, but I will say, the NDS Lite would give a much better experience with the nicer screen and better battery life. Always liked how the screen looked. Old DS looks washed-out in comparison irl.
