    Hi everyone.
    Just wondering, I have a DSi XL with a R4i Gold plus card.
    Can GBA games be played on it.
    I know the DS lite can play them, but don't know about the DSi XL capability, because of no GBA card slot. :eek:

    no, it is not possible to play GBA games on a DSi unless you have an iplayer or a supercard DSTWO

    Thanks Loony. Do you know where I could get a decent emulator on the net to play GBA games?

    Google 'Visualboy Advance', also known as VBA emulator to play on pc.
    Or if you have an Android device; smartphone, tablet, etc. there're also emulators for use on it.

    People STOP referring newbies to VBA (the old one. You know? Version 1.7.2 or 1.8 Beta 3) as that thing IS SO OBSOLETE! :p

    VBA-M is the way to go as it is the original's spiritual successor AND what's good about it is it's still actively being developed.

    Grab it here -> http://vba-m.com/forum/Thread-visualboyadvance-m-svn-1097-mfc-info-and-download

    You will need to register an account on there to download it but registration is free.

    you call 5fps playable? to 99.9% of the population it isn't.
