the thing that annoyed me about GBM and DS was that they couldn't play original game boy and game boy color games (can any one tell me if DS lite can?). Something I noticed was that GBA games have a small groove on each side and other game boy games dont. DS and GBM had plastic in the slots which would slide into the grooves and not let you put original game boy games in. I dont understand why nintendo did that.

The GBA supported GB and GBC by containing GB and GBC hardware. The GBA Micro was smaller, so to save space on the PCB they removed the support. With DS, they used the excuse of not wanting it to replace the GB line-up, so they only included GBA hardware without the GB and GBC hardware. This was probably because they just couldn't figure out a way to fit everything inside and didn't want to admit it. GB/GBC support was always done with hardware instead of emulation, which is why support is being created by homebrewers.

The DS Lite can't play GB/GBC since it's essentially just a smaller version of the DS.

the only reason i haven't gotten rid of my GBA SP is because of super mario bros DX and that i can still play GBA games that have link support. With the DS.. theres also no GBA link support.. so any multiplayer games you had you basically lose multiplayer on them. Although i don't play linked games on my GBA SP often.. its still a nice feature to have when you're on the road and you meet a cousin or friend that has an SP and you have similar games
