i'm just wondering how many people play GBA games on their DS.  i never had a GBA, but i bought some of the games to play on the DS because they're not available on the DS.  

i got riviera: the promised land, fire emblem: the sacred stones, kingdom hearts: chain of memories, golden sun, and golden sun: the lost age.  so far i've only played kingdom hearts and it's awesome!

i used to. it feels weird to only have one screen again (tehehe) and no touch controls. There are some great GBA games out there and maybe ill order some. Right now, i just have the RAM card for my japanese DS web browser.

I play GBA games on my DS a lot. I let my little brother borrow my GBA and my step-dad ended up dropping it down some stone steps. -___- I don't have much of an alternative. I'm glad my GBC still works, it was upsetting to learn that the DS doesn't have a GBC processor.

I never had a GBA so i was glad there was a spot for their games on the DS so I could play the games I missed. For the GBA on my DS I play all the Castlevania's, LOZ: Minish Cap, two Metroid's, and a bunch of mario and yoshi platformers. And I really enjoy them.

I know that its a really stupid reason... but I don't have any GBA games because I CAN'T stand how the games stick out about half an inch outta the DS lite.

I have played some on my DS, but am not currently. It's because I have already played most GBA games on my GBA. There's nothing left for me to play.

I still do. Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls and Final Fantasy V. That's because I bought them recently (Final Fantasy I & II was really hard to find.) I own a gba SP but, ever since I got the DS, I stopped using it. Nowdays, I use it only as a controller for Crystal Chronicles and Four Swords. As for the screen leaving black edges around, yes it is kinda annoying, but no way in Hell I carry both a DS and gba with me!

Not, me. I dont like how the Lite doesn't allow you insert the gamepak without it sticking out. It just defeats the purpose of the Lite.Also, I dont because there aren't any games that interest me.

Sometimes, but I usually just pull out my gameboy micro because it feels more designed for it's games. I hate using the a and b buttons on the ds for the GBA games. Why can't you use x and y?

I do, GBA has some great RPGs. It would be nice if we could change the button config for playing GBA games though. I would rather use Y for running and B for jumping on Donkey Kong Country.

I haven't played GBA games on my ds but I do have 2 GBA games, golden sun 1 and 2.

I've completed both so I play them rarely, but I have yet to play them on my DSlite. I do plan

on getting FFVI advance when it comes out in the UK as FFVI is my second favourite game ever, and when

When I buy that I will play it on my DSlite as I traded in my GBA.

oooh. i just got those 2 golden sun games off ebay and can't wait to play them!

I hope you enjoy them. They are awesome, my two fav games on the GBA in fact, but I haven't played FFVI advance yet.

If you like rpg's then you should love them no doubt.

Let's see I just bought Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Drill Dozer for $10 bucks Canadian each.
Then I bought Riviera: The Promised Land, Summon Night Swordcraft Story, and Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation for $20 each. I already had Mario & Luigi, Final Fantasy IV and some other games I can't name right now....

I play Zelda link to the past, Zelda minish cap, and super mario world remake.  Those are the only 3 advance games I have, I prefer to play them on the tube (via gameboy reader on my GC) but sometimes I play them portably.  I am up to 14 DS games though so not really that into advance games ATM.
