    Wait…!?

    I know it’s almost universally ignored & generally not cared about but still…

    What about the E-reader!?

    @ SP – technically the eReader is a GBA game, so it would fall into the large list of GBA games that will not be playable on the DSi by cartridge. This above list is of actual DS games.

    errm, The DSi has a web browser. So the Opera browser isnt a big deal.

    @hattrick

    Oh… OK… I just thought that since the MP3 Player was on there as well as the Famicom Game Adapter that’s more or less just a simple mod of the GBA Famicom Adapter (And can be used with the GBA SP) that the E-reader was kinda along those lines as well…

    @ Harry – yep, that’s what I said.
    @ SP – I see. I was not familiar with that, as they were already on the list. But that makes sense.
