Default Nintendo DS

What is the difference between the Nintendo DS and DS Lite ?

And probably shouldnt be asking this, but how easy are the games to be *ahem* copied

You need a cartridge like R4 or Supercard.

Just got an 8Gb card for my DS Lite with the M3 DS Real. Cracking

Forget the old DS, the Lite is the only one worth having really.

You can get import models in funky colours as well...

Too right Most of the SNes/Megadrive game are just as good if not better than some of the DS games

Agreed. Gameplay is more important than eye candy!!

The main reason for asking all this, is that the lad (just turned 6 years old) has been playing on my Nephews DS and he is incredibly difficult to part with it, given his 'problems' we actually think its a damn good thing for him to have

Its hard to get the ds out of my daughters hand, she has an R4 and I get any game she wants for it. Micro sd cards are really cheap now so you might as well go big

Thats the thing, the Snes graphics are actually better than most DS games on the little screen too! Haven't managed to find a reliable megadrive emulator with sound, but the Snes one is pretty much perfect.

Hi, I've just ordered one of these.

Is it really that easy, just drag and drop onto the card and away you go?
How many games can you fit on a card?

Also, do you know if DS lite games play on the older DS?

Thanks,

Shaun

i dont have one, but my G/F does.

i think she has to extract the zip files onto the card? apart from that it seams a doddle

from what i have seen so far, most DS games have really bad GFX, and can fully belive a snes EMU game looks loads better!
