Is anyone using DS10+ on a DS lite?
I believe it works, but am wondering if the 32 step feature of the plus edition is availible on the DS lite?
Saying that, when I had a DS10 before, I tried to download a dodgy copy of DS10+ to test out the extra feature, but could never find a working ROM; so in fact im not really sure if DS10+ really works with the DSlite at all.
Shed any light on this for me?

DS10+ is meant for the DSi, I don't think it'll run on anything older than that.
Thanks,
This contradicts what id heard earlier. Can anyone else comment?
if i'm not mistaken, i believe you meant 32 Patterns, not 32 steps. DS-10+ runs in a "dual mode" where you basically have access to two songs' worth of patterns. but each pattern can only contain a maximum of 16 steps, no more.
the DS-10+ will run on an older DS, but it'll detect the older hardware and disable access to Dual Mode, essentially giving you the original DS-10 functionality.
btw you can trust me on this as i've written an entire album using a DS-10
Ah! sorry, my mistake. I trust Bryface's response more than mine for sure as he's the DS-10 guru.
Actually, this bums me out since I didn't buy DS-10+ thinking it wouldnt run on older hardware. Whoops.
Thanks for the clarification though!
DS-10's saves will also port to and from DS-10+, the main advantage is that it is like running two instances at once, and I think there are some mixer tricks it lets you do.
Thanks all!
Damn, yeah im mistaking 32 patterns for 32 steps, this is a bummer. However being able to tweak stuff whilst the song sequencer is playing kinda negates it.
Dual mode is disabled on DSlite, but what about the mixer/ synth settings during song playback, are these availible by any miraculous chance?
Thanks again!
luckily, DS-10+ will allow you to fiddle around with synth/mixer stuff during song mode even on an older DS, unlike the original version of the DS-10 where you basically had to exit the song mode and kill the playback. so, good news for you!
Score! 
Just checking out some Fenton Fonic, pretty damn cool stuff!
* I dont even have a DS lite though! ha
