The one thing to note is that the DSi XL was the only model with dual IPS screens instead of the typical TN screen types found in other DS models and most 3DS systems. This was a fact that was also advertised by Nintendo. This means the DSi XL has far better viewing angles and better color reproduction. the screens also tend to be more color accurate as well. So if not being able to play GBA games is not a deal-breaker to you, then the DSi XL is the definitive DS from a visual standpoint. I also personally found it way more comfortable to hold than the smaller models.

Yes that was one of the target markets for it because of Brainage, but there are people under 80 who can't see very well and appreciate it's larger size. I always wanted a DSi XL back in the day, too bad it doesn't have the GBA slot because it's sort of pointless to own now that a 3DS XL can play all DS games on a large screen.

A lot of people feels that not having the GBA port in the DSi is a deal breaker, but if you're looking for an original DS hardware line it's because you don't want to play them on a 3DS, they look awful and blurry on 3DS, and even if you enable the original resolution it looks too tiny and of course the annoying black bars in both modes, so, with that in mind, if you want to play GBA games buy a GBA hardware, on a DS, same as 3DS they don't match the resolution and the aspect ratio, so you will have black bars and the games will look too tiny in the screen, but well it's really up to you if you want that port for GBA games, and also if happens you want some accessories to play some games, it all depends on your budget, my personal recommendation, go for the DS lite if you REALLY want the GBA port, otherwise just go for DSi XL, bigger screen and some cool apps to have fun like flipnote studio, camera and audio apps (they have really fun features). PS: you can play GBA games via emulators with a R4 flashcard, the GBA hardware is still in the DSi architecture, it's just unaccessible without the port but with a GBA loader you can play them

Some people had their DS battery lasting for years before another recharge. 3) Because of the DS family's huge success in sales (154 million units), the family's cheap and easy to find but the Lite is the most common model.

I've been tempted to upgrade from a fat DS to a DSi XL, but will I need to do anything to make my flashcard work? I've been using a 2020 R4 Gold Pro (the r4isdhc ones) and I've had no issues with it when using my original DS. I've been using a PAL DS and playing mostly NTSC games, will I need to find the PAL back-ups for them to work on a DSi XL?

No but it’s better to use a sd card for that because it can use the dsi’s added hardware and enchanced dsi enchanced games of you play any of them like Pokémon black white and their sequels by running on dsi mode don’t worry about region locking because unlaunch can bypass it

My DSi had both triggers just get seriously unresponsive over time iirc. D-pad diagonals might have also sucked. I swear faulty units seem pretty common with handhelds.

Okay I need help. I bought a ds lite but I kind of might want something with better quality if there is one?…. What ds console can take all the old ds games? Like Garfield’s nightmare, drawn to life, dolphinz, wildlife vet petz, etc. Any help would do please.

From my experience: DS Lite Pros and Cons + Best design + Best battery life in the DS family of systems + Has a Gameboy Advance slot, practically doubling the library + Best feeling buttons + Very inexpensive and easy toy to find - Shoulder buttons, especially the L button, prone to collecting dust and becoming faulty if not careful - Hinge is prone to cracking, breaking, then becoming floppy if not careful - Plenty of screens on these systems have yellowed. Buyer beware of all these things when shopping for one - Flashcart needed to mod DSi pros and cons + Visually sleeker design, you at least won’t have to worry about a missing slot 2 cover + Face buttons are more tactile + Refined home menu with a lot of stupid apps that you had fun with when you were younger (flipnote studio is incredible) + SD card slot allows easy system modding to play all your game backups without a flashcart + Camera for taking crappy photos and collecting nice memories in the album + Stronger hinge that is substantially less prone to breaking than the DS Lite’s - No GBA slot. Can’t play GBA games without rom files and lackluster emulation, and only if you mod the system - Buttons feel too receded into the system, making inputting diagonals feel uncomfortable - Shoulder buttons more prone than the DS Lite to dust collection and going faulty DSi XL pros and cons +- Shares every above pro and con as the DSi + Bigger size, best for bigger hands + Best large display for DS games that beats the poor scaling of DS games on 3DS XL models - More expensive - All face buttons feel smaller than they should be, even for my small hands Literally any 3DS/2DS model: + Much sturdier and less prone to going faulty + Great feeling buttons + Very easy to hack, allowing you to play all your GBA games and more + XL models have buttons that actually feel appropriately sized for bigger hands + Can play the entire 3DS library of games + Much better emulation capabilities than the DSL/DSi - DS games will have either terrible scaling to fill the screen or will have to be played with thick black borders and a smaller image to achieve pixel perfect mode, which means screens smaller than the DSL/DSi if you’re not playing on an XL model. - The most pricey systems in comparison to the DS Pick your poison! They’re all crappy in their own way, that’s just how it is. I personally favor the DS Lite for my own reasons, but thats just me.

DS lite is the only one that competes with the 3DS. Think about it the 3DS has bigger games but the DS lite was the highest quality gba games and was easiest to handle. With its huge library of GBA games and ds games I put DS Lite at equally fun as the 3DS.
