    You can play GBA roms if you have a slot 2 flashcart; these are able to play GBA roms natively. If you have a slot 1 flashcart, there is no way of playing GBA roms. The two systems use different hardware, which are electrically separate.

    no it's not sold in stores. The most common one is called Ez-Flash 3-in-1, and it works the same as other flashcarts, except it goes in the GBA slot on your DS.

    Any of the EZFlash range are good. Not possible without a Hypervisor etc. unfortunately.

    Roxas, no, that's just for accessing the ROM from a different device.

    thats the problem you need 1.2 I dont know how to fix this.
    I dont have 1.2 I wish I had it.
    maybe try using google I dont know any other way.
    or you have to buy a slot 2 flashcard

    If you get an M3Real flashcart, it has an optional GBA slot 2 expansion, which lets you place GBA roms on the same sd card as you're ds games, albeit in a different folder.
