I'm thinking of upgrading to DS and so I wonder how the GBA games look on a DS. Is the dot pitch the same? Since the resolution is slightly larger on the DS I suppose not all the screen is used for GBA, and the image is  small on the GBA already as it is. And second, how well does the Supercard work on DS playing GBA games, and which screen is used? And third, how does the screen quality compare to the GBA-Micro?

Cheers.

1) The image area for GBA games is the same on either system. The colors look significantly better on the DS.
2) The Supercard playing GBA games on the DS works exactly the same as on the GBA.
3) The Micro has the best screen out there. But the DS screen is still far superios to the GBA and GBASP.

The "new" SP is said to be better than the Micro. It has the full-sized screen, and it's now backlit. It's brighter than even the DS.
Manually signing your posts is dumb.

Firmware versioning: Get a Passcard 3, a SuperKey, or a slot-1 flashkit. Then it doesn't matter which firmware you have.

I have the new sp and it is great. I compared it to the old one and there is a big difference. even comparing it to the ds there is a big difference. compared to the micro the micro looks better because the pixels are smaller, giving it a clearer picture
