there is a black rim around the screen its really annoying is it possible to make the screen bigger when playing gba games as big as when playing DS games and if so how? thanks

Unfortnetly no, but if you go into the DS's settings you can make it so that the GBA games are played on the bottom screen.

Ooops, I'm sorry I just realized that the bottom screen is just as big even though it doesn't have the rim, SORRY!!!:(

does that mean it is full size on the bottom screen

*sigh* ok, let me expklain:

The screen is not as wide as the GBA or SP, so therefore, to keep it in perfect Ratio, there WILL be a "Letterbox" style, and no matter, top or bottom, there both the same.
