Topic: 3ds can't play DS games well?

My 3DS could play DS games well before but I tried a couple recently and they some time freezes, I can play 3DS perfectly and any other game, but it's just the DS games getting affected, did this happen to any of you?
PS: the DS games are in perfect condition.

Old ds games, good condition or not, are prone to freezing.

The older they get, the less reliable they get unfortunately. I pop my Mario Kart DS from back in 04 into my 3DS from time-to-time for nostalgia's sake, and I have to devote an entire ritual to getting it to work.

Same here with AC Wild World and Pokemon Diamond.

@Morpheel Pokemon Diamond for me too, thanks for reminding me.

The thing is that the games are rather new, guess I will have to try it again.

What games?

My Mario Party DS card was wonky ever since I got it (used), but now it is extremely finicky... if I even accidentally just barely bump it while it's playing, it'll freeze... but I don't think it has anything to do with my 3DS, it's just an old game card.

Huh, that's weird. Hasn't happened to me, and half the games I play on my 3DS are DS games.

I have played Mario 64 DS, which is a launch title for DS, on my 3ds and it runs completly fine

Is it the launch version, or the rerelease they did much later with the red boxes?

in my 3DS the only problem is the usual: DS games get ugly(er) unless you hold start what reduces the image a little too much....

Well, I did notice that DS games looked a lot better on my DSi than they did my original 3DS... but when I got my 3DS XL, that ran them best. IMO

Weird because I play my old ds games now and they work well. I did have 64 DS freeze once but it now runs fine.
