I've really hit it hard again with my addiction to GBA games. Since there are not enough quality DS games right now, I've been playing Zelda the Minish Cap, Super Mario Advance 4, Metal Slug Advance and various other quality GBA games. But the DS has started to bother me. Sure, the fact that it CAN plany GBA games is great. But, here are the things that bother me:
-Button mapping for GBA games - Though I get used to it, I think that the system would be better if they had given you the choice for mapping buttons. Being stuck with the positioning of B & A on the DS is not a comfortable as say, Y & B would have been
-The DS Speaker can often be heard "capping" when playing GBA games. This never happens to me during DS game play.
-The screen that's not being used can be a distraction, not because there's anythiing on it, but smudges and small scratches are very obvious on the DS screen when it is off. Probably doesnt bother too many people, but it gets me a little.
Though I actually prefer the GBA player to any of the methods of GBA gameplay, this poll is strictly as to wether or not you like it on the GBA / GBA SP better or worse than on that of the DS. I've separated GBA from GBA SP to address the hand confort issue as well.
Of the handheld methods, I like my Afterburner modded GBA the best - the lit screen quality is just as good as the SP and the confort for holding it is top notch. The only thing that it does not have is the screen protection of the SP or the DS which can be a problem if you need to shove it into you pocket or bag in a jam - because of this I opt for the SP even though I like the original GBA feel much better.
