    no. It is not possible to run GBA games on a slot 1 flashcart.

    Dude there's another thread that discusses this already
    And there are several of the same question:
    So to cut it short, it is possible but there is no emulator out there to put on a slot 1 flashcart to do it, there was a rumour that somebody is making one but it's not out there as of yet

    It is not possible, the physical DS hardware is not adequate to run a GBA emulator and the GBA hardware in the unit is not accessible from the DS hardware.

    It is possible, though you may have to convert the gba files to something easier to process

    You'd have to turn the GBA build into a binary that the NDS can read. Which means you would have to do this for every single GBA ROM.

    Think about GBA cards and DS cards. The GBA card is wider, is it not? This means it reads at an alternate and possibly faster rate than the DS does, not to mention it's in a different binary as Anandjones said.

    This is an awfully old thread to be bumped by a question that was a result of them not reading the answer already given.
