How to Add Music to a DS Lite

It works by being inserted into the Game Boy Advance game port and therefore functions with any device that can use Game Boy Advance games. This includes the Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Advance Micro, original Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite but does not include the new Nintendo DSi. The example here uses a DS Lite.
