I think it will be possible to play GB and GBC games but in the GBA slot but if its not i can see the reason its really old and Nintendo might be thinking it will soon be hard to find games for those 2 systems so GBA and DS but who knows we will wait and see

okay this is the serious ting...
DS can play GBA and DS games only...
when the GBA games are played in the DS...it cannot be linked with other DS games although its wireless...
in short...GBA can only be linked with GBA games...
DS can be linked ONLY with DS games...

GBA games can play ALL GB library...
but the DS cannot...its restricted to GBA and DS...

so...to Mamimo2073...im sorry ur GBC games cannot be played in the DS...

DS can't play game boy origional/colour games, because they need a z80 chip to run. The GBA had this built in, but GBA games use an ARM processor.
The DS has an ARM7 and ARM9 processor, but no z80.

p.s. Sorry to bring up an old post

The GBA effectively has a 'GameBoy' inside it separate to the GameBoy Advance electronics. It was probably too much to fit 'three' machines inside the DS. Anyway, I'm sure a blank cartridge system for the DS will follow soon so the GameBoy original can be 'emulated' (and hopefully the SNES too fingers crossed!!).

the biggest thing that anoys me about the ds is that you have to be for 30-100 feet to play with others >
