Nintendo ds 3ds
I don’t plan on including any DS/3DS hacking info (any emails about this will be ignored…sorry), but I wanted to post very basic info: There are video-out kits available for both the DS and 3DS:

Also, one cool feature of the “original” mode: If you turn on the 3D mode of your 3DS, it will create the illusion that the GB/GBC screen in “behind” the border from the original GB.Īlso, on a 3DS XL, the screen in “original” mode is actaully the exact same as the original GBC (3DS non-XL models will obviously be smaller) = W: 43mm T: 39mm As an FYI, full screen, “stretched” resolution on a 3DS XL is W: 71mm T: 64mm. If you don’t launch in original mode, the screen will look blurry, since the resolution is being upscaled to an odd percentage. Unfortunately, the 3DS’ extremely low resolution of 400×240 isn’t able to double even the original Game Boy’s resolution of 160×144. One tip: When you start the game (immediately after launching the icon on the 3DS menu), hold down Start & Select to launch the game in the original resolution. The games are usually very close to the original and are an excellent choice if you own a 3DS and only want to play a few of the original games. The 3DS virtual console offers games from all of Nintendo’s handheld systems, as well as other handhelds and consoles. GB, GBC and GBA games are available on the 3DS’ virtual console. – The Nintendo 3DS and New 3DS systems (as well as the “XL” versions) can only play DS and 3DS cartridges. – The Nintendo DSi and DSi XL are only compatible with DS games and do not have a GBA cartridge slot. Also, the DS Lite was a significant improvement over the DS, as it’s much lighter and has a larger, clearer screen. Here’s a good site that showcases the differences in screens: – The Nintendo DS and DS Lite systems can play Game Boy Advance games, but not Game Boy or Game Boy Color. Also, as an FYI, all Nintendo systems from NDS-on have factory-installed backlit screens. I wanted to provide basic information on the newer Nintendo handhelds, as well as show ways to play the older handheld games on the newer systems.
