The Nintendo DS will play Gameboy Advance games using the second included cartridge slot. Unfortunately, due to size and space limitations, older Gameboy and Gameboy Color games cannot be played on the Nintendo DS.

Can you play Game Boy games in dsi?

Flip your ds over. You will see a piece that can be removed when pushed up. That is the gba slot. Have fun! Yes the slot is on the bottom like the post above says. But be warned, old gameboy games (big square ones like gameboy, gameboy color) can't be played on your DS.


Do Game Boyadvanced games work on the Game Boy Color?

No, it does not work that way. GameBoy Advance games are newer than the GameBoy Color, so the GameBoy Color system cannot support the game. However, you can play GameBoy Color games on a GameBoy Advance system if you want.

What game system console can you play Pokemon Blue Red Leaf Green and Fire Red on?

*Four consoles are compatible with these games and they are: Nintendo 64, Gameboy Advance, Gamecube, and DS. With the Gamecube's Gameboy Player accessory (sold seperately) you can play your Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance games using your Gamecube. The Gameboy Advance (Gameboy Advance SP also works) is compatible with all Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance games. The older models of the Nintendo DS have a GBA (stands for Gameboy Advance) slot built in on the bottom of the console. Only Gameboy Advance games are compatible with the DS. Newer models of the DS such as the 3DS no longer have this slot built in. *Using the N64 Transfer Pak accessory (sold seperately) you can play Red, Blue, and Yellow on Pokemon Stadium. You can also play these games plus Gold, Silver, and Crystal on Pokemon Stadium 2. In both games to play your pokemon games you must select the GB Tower and then load the cartridge and the game will load up. Make sure on the main menu's of each game show that your cartridge has been inserted properly (you will know if the game cartridge is shown along with your trainer ID). It is not possible to play Leafgreen, Firered, Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald using this method.

Where can one play Pokemon games online?

Many Pokemon games exist for older systems, like the original games for the Nintendo Gameboy. These can be played with a corresponding emulator, which emulates a Gameboy or other system within one's computer. One such emulator is VisualBoyAdvance, which emulates a Gameboy Advance. Once one has obtained an emulator, the next step is to download game ROMs for it; this can all be done freely online.
