I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I didn't know where to post it otherwise. Here it goes:
I've have some gaming devices, the one I like the most is my Nintendo DS lite. Since I'm more of a programmer than a pixel artist, I would like to develop a game for my homebrew DS lite card. I would like to give a try at graphics too, but I'm not that sure it will succeed. The main thing I'm concerned about is what size in pixels x pixels the screens are. I wouldn't like to put so much effort in a welcome screen and then come to the conclusion it is to big or to small...
So can someone please give me the size of nintendo ds lite screen in pixels x pixels???
It might also come in handy for some other people to post sizes of other gaming devices too???

I couldn't find it in a quick search I just made but somewhere in the gallery's link section or perhaps in Pixelation is a link to some site with a complete (mostly older, pre-smartphone, devices) list of handheld device specs and res and even any restrictions as they relate to art assets and tiles and stuff.
If you find it outside of PJs link section then please submit it for handy future use.

Pixellation has a thread " http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=10784.msg114164#msg114164 - The Non-Exhaustive Restriction Guide ", but nothing on the NDS yet.
I kinda remember the NDS screens are 256x192 (each), it was to small to allow a porting of Grafx2.

Yeah 256x192 seem correct.
