    None of the current flashcarts that can play NDS games can play GBA games. The only Slot 1 cart that exists that can actually play GBA games is the iPlayer, but it cannot play commercial NDS games.

    There may be some in the planning stages, but nothing concrete yet.

    The DS isn't powerful enough to emulate the GBA by itself. That's why the iPlayer works, it has hardware on the card to help.

    The Acekard2i is tried and true, the iEdge, I don't enough users to have an opinion of it.

    what about M3? or any others? I've got an old R4, and to be honest, may of the newer games don't work, and updates to the kernel seem rare. it seems the other flashcarts are moreon top of things. games such as phantasy star 0 and sonic & sega all stars racing and one I really wanted, Bejewled Twist don'twork on my R4! :(

    Acekard2i is your best bet.

    If you want to play GBA games then you will have to wait for the SupercardDStwo to be released.
