    Well right now, I have a Wood R4 1.08 and a YSMENU bablalbala012. So I'm just wondering how to play GBA Games on the R4

    If you're talking about a slot-2 (gbaslot) r4, you have to boot it into GBA mode. If you've got a slot-1 (dsslot), sorry, no go. Only 2 slot-1 cards can play GBA and those are the Iplayer and Supercard DSTwo.

    I've never had an R4, but shouldn't a EZ3in1 and GBA Exploader work?

    (Never used wood or an R4 so correct me, or does wood have 3in1 support built in)

    You can just get the EZ Flash 3in1 and it should work with the correct firmware or whatever the 3in1 uses.

    And be careful you don't get a 3in1+. Wood R4 has NOT been tested with the 3in1+, therefore it won't work.

    Yep, just get the plain 3in1. Nothing special, just the 3in1. Believe it or not, + does not mean better in this case.

    So I have to get a new Flashcard?

    Yes.

    Just because the + may not work with Wood, doesn't mean it's inferior. GBA ExpLoader should handle it fine.

    I've been using Ak 2i and it uses a slot two feature I set it to boot GBA but it still won't let me play! :(

    All that does is start up whatever's inserted into the GBA slot, be it a game or flashcart.

    Playing roms on an R4 is impossible. If it was possible everyone would be playing Golden Sun.

    Have you even bothered to read the rest of the thread? It is called getting an EZ Flash 3in1. There is a way to get it to work with pretty much every flash cart in existence. Also, I own both original Golden Sun games. :p
