It does sound interesting although we do have emulators

I'm pretty sure this was posted a while back and was proven that it was wrong and would just damage your ds

I think it's a hoax. The journal was posted Monday, January 17th, 2005 and I've never heard of this. I'm skeptical because I don't understand how shorting CPU pins would make a difference. Why wouldn't Nintendo make this a feature for the DS? I wouldn't try it.

The pics and all look convincing, BUT..... the DS doesn't have a z88 processor and shorting the pins of an ARM processor would, correct me if i'm wrong, do crap all. The GBA has a z88 cpu as well as its main one to support GB games.

Notice the whole time, the one thing he did not show? Slot 1. We all know there are flash carts for DS capable of running Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. Also, to fit the carts in, all you need to do is shave them down, there is no timeframes to the pictures shown.

The burden of proof is on him, he didn't follow through in my opinion.

That's right, I forgot about that. Case closed.

slot 1 cards were not out then and if you look pic 5 down it shows that a DS game is not there

do you guys mind if I put your posts on IGN to settle this contraversy?

What about the screen stretching for older games that the GBA had? Suddenly I don't believe, it doesn't support that capability, something an emulator could fail to perform.
