gba sp & ds...no wires

Anyone know if the GBA games that were muli-player via the "linking cable"
(Zelda 4 swords, etc) will also work on a couple of DS's wirelessly?

For that matter, could a GBA SP with the wireless adapter talk to the DS?

Short answer - No. You need to keep your SP for GBA multiplayer games. The
wireless in the DS uses 802.11b and the SP wireless is something like blue
tooth..

so could a PDA with WiFi communicate with the DS?

>From what I understand, the DS can technically communicate with most
"WiFi" devices (Wi-Fi 802.11)... but there isn't any software for the
DS that takes advantage of that capability, yet.

>From a Nintendo.com FAQ:
"The system itself is not designed to go online. Developers may choose
to use the wireless capabilities of the system to create software that
permits internet connectivity, which would then allow a user to go
online using the DS."

A PDA with 802.11b capability?

Hardware wise, absolutetly -- they could talk to one another.

Software wise, unfortunetly there is no such software to take that type of
advantage of the DS's 802.11b (yet).

(I have a DS and I'm wanting a web browser and email client for the DS!
Such applications would be a natural fit for it. I'd even prefer to use the
DS for web/email over using my PDA's as the two LCD's could be put to very
good use. Got 802.11 at home and at work.)

Now, *that* would sell me on the touch-screen concept.

I got a DS as an early Christmas present, and so far have ignored the
touch screen entirely, preferring instead to use the DS as an enhanced
GBA...
