So, as we all know, the DSi (and anything above it) is missing the GBA slot. Is it missing just that, or any extra hardware parts that were used to play GBA games on a DS/DS Lite?
This little conversation came up on IRC, someone saying that GBA games are easy to do on 3DS because it has DS internals, which already had GBA internals...
Which made me curious. If the DSi (and up) consoles do in-fact have this inside, why is it that there are GBA emulators using extra card hardware, instead of accessing the main hardware instead?
EDIT: actually, this topic is at the right place... right? It's more of a question about the Console itself, after all...
