    No it is not, as has been stated THOUSANDS of times on this very forum. The DS hardware is not powerful enough.

    You could get an old PSP if you want to play GBA games on the go! :p

    I have a Megadrive/genesis emulator on my R4 for the DS (it's called jEnesis) and it works okay, so anything's possible.

    Not for GBA games on a regular flashcart.

    The SUPERCARD DSTWO that's coming out will feature a GBA and SNES emulator as well as supporting NDS roms. But ONLY because it has extra hardware built into it. The first of it's kind to play more than just NDS and what the emulators can do.

    DS is significantly more powerful than megadrive.
