Message: [QUOTE="wilddogsdivorce, post: 264716, member: 38327"] a DS is still valuable to have if you want to play its library. DS on a 3DS is less than ideal due to the screen size differences. emulation... it's fine, but most devices aren't really ideal for it. however, the MagicX Zero40 would be the way to go if that's what you want. and it's probably cheaper than a DS would be in a lot of cases. if you prefer a real one, i recommend buying a DSi as well as a flashcart since it's just convenient to launch the games from the cart slot like normal. twilightmenu is good too, but i think using the flashcarts is a lot of fun. you don't usually have to worry about timebombs now, but if you buy a cheapo flashcart just replace the firmware and you won't have to worry. the reason i recommend a DSi is because they tend to be in better condition when you get them now. having bought a couple DS family systems, i can tell you if you buy a DS lite (the best ds) you'll almost certainly get something with a yellowed screen and shoulder button issues. i can deal with a yellowed screen, but shoulder button problems are truly miserable. the dsi shoulder buttons seem to hold up better all things considered. in my opinion, the normal size ones are best. the pixels look better on the normal size screen, and on a lot of older XLs the hinge gets loose from the weight so the top screen is a bit droopy.
