Gaming DSi exclusive game on a DS/DS Lite, what happens?

[nl255]

What happens if someone tries to run a DSi exclusive game on a regular DS? Does it display an error message, not do anything, or could it even damage the DS?

same thing with gameboy color games in a gameboy.

Nintendo'll definitely be wanting to screw your console up if you bought the wrong game by mistake

BE AFRAID. [/sarcasm]

Work, in monochrome? I had GBC camera, and it worked fine on a GB.

No, like with the DS, there were gameboy colour "enhanced games" and gameboy colour exclusive games.

A good example is pokemon silver/gold. These were gameboy colour enhanced, they would play in black and white on gameboy, but in colour on gbc.

pokemon crystal, however was a gameboy colour exclusive. If you put it into a gameboy or gameboy pocket, it would show a message that it is only playable on a gameboy color system.
