    @brenda
    The DSi XL can do everything the DSi does. GBA is Gameboy Advance, so the DSi can’t play Gameboy Advance games.

    The ds lite can still go on the internet and also can the ds fat there is this game you buy it is called nintendo ds browser you setup your own account and set up the internet connection the only things different from the ds fat and ds lite to the dsi and dsi xl are they have smalller screens, no cameras, no dsi shop, no built in games and no built in internet

    Does a DSi XL still destroy the DSi? Because the XL has bigger screen, THAT IS THE ONLY FEATURE THAT HAD CHANGED!

    We purchased a DS XL at Christmas to upgrade a DS lite. We bought in Lanzorate last year a R4 SDHC card which then had a 2GB micro sd card in. It had about 30 downloaded games on,still works fine on the DS lite but won’t work on the XL.
    Is there a different format for the XL or do we need a different type of R4 card??
    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    DSi XL is better than DSi. I like it.
