New DSi?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

While sorta on the topic of GBA games, why do most of them have hissing/dull sound?

Either the speaker on your GBA is buggered (not unusual, that happens to mine sometimes, it usually sorts itself out after a while) or you just have to get used to the GBA's somewhat weak sound chip.

GBA sound chip is the same as GB/GBC plus 10-bit PWM DACs for digital playback (iirc very similar to 32x's, but maybe set up as 2 channels rather than paired as stereo), anyway PWM results in pretty poor quality output, a good bit of artifacting present, perhaps that's the "hissing" being heard.

I kinda miss the original Gameboy's "hum" when it was on.

Hehe, yea. Like a tiny tiny Vectrex.

[nomad83]

the one major problem with the original dsi is that they got rid of the backwards compatible with the gameboy advance.

I want a DS, but I dont know which one to pick DS-lite or DSi
