You won't worry about the update on DS Lite.
There is no firmware on DS Lite, so don't worry about it.

And, yeah, 100 games just need 4g microSD.

There's a way around DSi 1.4.3 firmware for the acekard 2i but the new 3ds is one to watch out for with the firmware releases.

EDIT: A lot of the ds lite consoles hinges break on the right side and most times just come off altogether and rip the ribbon cable that's on the left. Usually the back right cracks and you need a new top front to repair it which means completely taking apart the whole DS to do. You have to be very careful not to tear the ribbon cable on the top screen or break the touch screen clasp if you do take it apart. Ripping the cable means you need a new top screen and breaking the clasp means you turned it into a paperweight unless you have a spare motherboard. Just be careful and watch a tutorial if you're going to fix the top half of it.
