... a Nintendo DS besides me? Anyone notice that virtual keyboard for the touch screen on the bottom half? Can we say C64 emulator? Wooo Wooooooo!!!! It also has two slots, one for GBA cards and one for DS cards. DS software can also access the GBA card slot. I think this could be the coolest portable ever. 6-10 hours on a charge with two screens! Also four main buttons instead of two. Mario 64 is coming out for it too. Good stuff indeed. Nintendo is so smart for keeping everything backward compatible. With the power it has, it should be able to emulate everything, except maybe the latest arcade games, psx, and things of that era. There is a Sierra AGI emulator for GBA. (You can play Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest, etc.) Now imagine Lucas and newer Sierra SCI games being played with the virtual keyboard. Oh happy day.

I'm DS'n for sure! Can I purchase and use the flash card on said device?

I'm not entirely sure yet. I'm going to assume the answer is yes, since it is GBA compatible. I'm going to keep my GBA when I get the DS anyway, so I'll have the backup unit. I'm going to buy a DS flash card as soon as they're available. (So I can get in on it in the beginning this time.) I imagine they'll need to be big for that thing though. I'll probably get a 1GB one. 512Mb is just right for the GBA, but I could see it becoming a problem with anything more. I can fit 15-16 of the larger ROMs on it. (More if I include some smaller games.) I'd like to be able to get a similar amount of DS games on one.

Fry's is selling GBA SPs for $59.99. I was gonna grab one, but I think I'll wait since I won't have much use for it once I commence tha DS'n

Wow! That's an excellent price. Yeah, I ready to commence the DSin'
