And yes the GBA hardware is stripped from the DSi. That means you can't even emulate it through Virtual Console.

We know that it doesn't have a GBA slot, but the hardware isn't completely removed, because many NDS games use that GBA hardware for running correctly...

Also, it's not very smart to import DSi if you're planning on using all it's features because everything except internet browsing and playing games will be region locked!

Meh, I don't even think it's worth it. I'm satisfied with my DSL, I'm waiting for the next DS.

 

[Vague Rant]

Not interested until it's hacked. Then still not interested until somebody does something excellent with it that I can't do on my original DS.

how much can you use an imported one?
i dont quite understand region locked..

 

[how_do_i_do_that]

If you bought the japanese version, you can only play games in that area; japan, korea, china, etc. you wouldn't be able to play games from the US on it. thats how region lock works. if you understand how the DVD region locks work it is the same way.

 

[Toni Plutonij]

No, it won't be region locked for games!!
Only additional software..

DS titles are not region locked, DUH.

DS titles are not region locked, DUH.

yes, but your original post indicated that ds titles WERE region locked.
