    What do you mean?

    What is wrong with your MicroSD now? Just connect it to your PC with a MicroSD adapter.

    Oh. You want to play them on your DS directly off your PC?
    No, you cannot do that.

    Just remove games from your card that you don't play anymore.

    CycloDS has it's own EVO Tools which has a ROM Trimmer as well.
    http://www.cyclopsds.com/downloads/EvoTools-1.0-BETA2.zip

    It has:
    EVO Cheat Database Editor
    ROM Trimmer
    DS Game Icons for your PC

    ROMs have "Garbage data" on them to make them large enough to completely fill up the game cartridge. 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, etc. Always a power of two. So if the actual game lands at 190MB, then they have to use the 256MB game card and just add 66MB of junk. Trimmers remove this Junk, and leave only the game data.
