can i play game boy color games on a ds flashcart?

I was wondering about this while playing some old games on my pc, i did a quick search, there are some people who say it is possible, while there a lot of people who say no, you can't so i was wondering, could anyone help answer this question? If yes, how exactly do u play a gameboy color game on a ds? Thanks for your help and sorry if this is in the wrong section.

 

You can, if you have a slot 2 flashcart. If you have a slot 1 flashcart, then you're out of luck.

 

jin, he didn't say GBA. You can run GB/GBC ROMs on your flashcart, use the Lameboy emulator.

 

what do u mean by a slot 2 flashcart or a slot 1 flashcart?

Thanks i just found the emulator and it works pretty well

 

He thought you said you wanted to play GBA ROMs, which meant you would have to have a Slot 2 flashcart.

 

i see, so what is this slot 2 flashcart that u are talking about?

 

It's a flashcart that is put into the GBA slot of your DS.. It can play GBA games unlike a Slot 1 flashcart..

 

i see, thanks for the info, well guess i can only play gbc games, which is fine =D

 

Uhh yeah you can use an emulator for gbc on your dslite all you need is a slot 1 flashcart and the emulator obviously. If you wanna play gba "backup games" you'll need a compatible slot 2 cart.

 

Oh, shit. Sorry, my bad.

 

no worries, well this thread can be locked now that my question has been answer and thanks guys, for your help.

 

Sure.
