Will Gameboy Games Work In A Nintendo DS?

[@jeromemccalla9520]

It annoys me that the ds doesn’t support the link cable.

[@GameboyCustom]

Agreed 👍

[@just_ugu]

It should have at least supported the wireless adapter but not even that

[@lufa7886]

@@just_uguyeah it should have been built into the ds but no

[@user-nx7fr3qp3v]

Couldn’t Someone Make a Custom one that Hooks up to it?

[@axeldaelmans7215]

The reason its not backwards compatible (and i dont mind actually) is because it lacks the physical hardware of the gameboy color, which the gameboy advnace and advance SP had, it would cost more to implement it and there simply isnt much space in the DS... if you are curious, the GBA and DS CPU's are both located underneath the DS card slot. Nintendo technically could have been able to let the DS emulate those games but then again, the cost would increase and the games would be a bit more unstable

[@GameboyCustom]

Thanks for sharing

[@dsdude8441]

a 3ds can natively run gba games, it has similar architecture to a ds (even having ds mode specifically for backwards compatibility), so it can run gameboy games like how a ds can, but this is only ever used in ambassador games or in homebrew

This is my favourite DS. The Good Ol Chunky 😢 I never got to own one though

[@GameboyCustom]

Such a great console 👍

[@purplejakman]

Mine lasted like 3 years before the hinge broke and the bottom screen came off 😂 Still worked long enough for a destructive kid

Found one in my aunt's junk drawer, you bet I snagged it

[@C00LSH4RK]

Wow, lucky you that is an iQue (Rare) DS, i hope history will not repeat itself

[@GameboyCustom]

Cheers 👍they are getting harder to find

[@murddeath]

I hope he sells it to a reseller, collector, or store and they smash it on video because they think it's fake

[@sergiocortesgarcia3324]

The iQue DS is the chinese version of the DS

[@TANKTREAD]

I am ok with this. Each hand held gaming console replaced the other graciously. That's until the Switch came on the scene and botched everything up.

[@GameboyCustom]

👍👊

[@mobious01]

The switch replaces the wii u and well you cants use discs on the switch

[@grandon183]

​@@mobious01I think it replaces both the Wii u and 3DS' spots on the market. The main series Pokémon are on the switch after all.

[@Zihark_]

I'm with you, screw the switch. Wii U was the last good console. GameCube is still the goat.

[@SpecialMan2]

The reason this doesn’t work is that the gba has a different form of cartridge reader, The GBA had both next to each other allowing it to play older Gameboy games you could theoretically try and swap them but idk if that would even work

[@GameboyCustom]

👍

[@squeakyfoxx]

not just that, but the DS *only* has the arm7 of the gba. it doesn't even have the hardware to play, or even read Game Boy cartridges. it just doesn't exist there.

[@Sakamoto196]

No, if they use the same slot but in the GBA the processor itself internally has the GBC processor, which allows backward compatibility With the Game Boy Micro and Nintendo DS, that processor was removed from the console, making it incompatible with GB games.

[@squeakyfoxx]

@@Sakamoto196 not even close. the GBA's arm7 and the sm83 of the GB/GBC are to totally different things, not only in architecture, but also size. there is no possible way that the sm83 core could fit in the arm7, and even if it **could**, the pinouts would have to match up in order for GB games to work properly. the DS's GBA hardware doesn't have the right hardware necessary to actually play GB/GBC games. end of discussion. it's not possible unless you were to manufacture an entirely new board(and bios) to bring the necessary support. the only thing that *is* available from the GB/GBC, is the audio that the sm83 provided, but it's seperate from the sm83 on the DS as far as I'm aware.

[@Sakamoto196]

@@squeakyfoxx The EvilmonkeyzDesignz channel showed the CPU under the microscope and apart from the ARM core is the GBC CPU on the same silicon but miniaturized

The long answer is yes. I have a multiple-in-one gba cartridge wth gbc games on it and they play just fine on my dslite. Color and sound work great, Nintendo just doesn't like us ig

[@brandonwilliams2799]

What mods are there?

[@srgwcov]

​@@brandonwilliams2799 maybe moving the gba reader a little so gbc and gameboy games can fit inside. or i guess adding a separate game boy color slot but i guess that wouldn't be the easiest way since even the gba and gba sp have gameboy support
