Can You Play GBA Games on Nintendo DS Lite?
The Nintendo DS has a large library of popular games, but its previous system, the GameBoy Advance, also has a collection of games that are beloved by fans. The DS Lite was not made to play games from the original GameBoy or the GameBoy Color, so it was a concern that GBA games would not be playable either.
