Hi all,

I've been playing some of my old GBA games on my DS - and i'm wondering if theres any difference between the two screens. (Other than placement, obviously) And if one might work better/waste battery faster, or who knows what. If theres a difference you know of, please let me know!

Thanks!

    I personally use top screen but I don't think there's much of a difference.

    Nah, there isn't much of a difference in screen size, or placement, or whatever. When you play a GBA game on the DS, and start it up, the opposing screen turns off and only one screen stays on. So, don't worry about it.

    The top screen might be better, because it's not a touchscreen. That's pure speculation on my part though.

    I've always found the bottom screen to be a very slight bit murkier looking, due to the placement of the touch sensors. So I use the top--but it's up to you!

    Only time I use the bottom screen is for Warioware: Twisted. Otherwise, top screen is ace.
