How do old game boy games and GBA games look on the DS?
I don't really want a DS for the games, but I don't like the feel of the SP and I need some light on the screen, so with the recent price drop, I am considering a DS. No on the micro. Favorite game is Legend of the Fisher King for the GB. How do they look? What is on the other screen while playing? Thanks.

I believe it was a cost issue. The DS is one thing, but the Micro is not backwards compatible either and thats a real crappy decision. Guess they figure its time to leave the original GB and GBC behind, but I still have quite a few games.
The GBA SP is the last handheld made that works with all GB software.
Also the DS screen is the same size as the GBA screen. However, the DS is a higher resolution and that is the reason for the border around the screen.
