Can you play DSi games in the Game Boy Advance?

[shakeNbake]

I want to get my little guy a GBA and my older boy a DSi, but it would be great if they could share games...Your help is appreciated, Thanks

No i wish there was a way to do that

nope the Nintendo Dsi was released and designed after the GBA and therefore the GBA does not accept ds games..

The DS lite and the old nintendo ds play GBA games though but the Dsi DOES NOT. The GBA plays GBA games and GB games

Both cartidges are different sizes and the ds has the ds slot and the GBA slot but thr Dsi only has the ds slot.

Therefore neither can play the other games but if you bought your oldest a Ds lite it could at least play GBA games and that is all.

The Dsi is a lot better though

I say a DSi for your oldest and a Ds lite for your youngest and then they can share games

They are backwards compatible, which means the DSi can play GBA games, but the GBA cannot play DSi games.

No sorry you can only play older games in newer systems
