    Is it possible to play GBA roms on your ds using a flashcart? I'm using a acekard 2i and I didn't know if I could add a patch or something to it to play Gameboy advance games.

    THanks.

    Like the EZ Flash 3-in-1.

    But if you have a DSi, then you'll have to get the SuperCard DSTwo.

    Ok, thanks. I didn't know if you could use the standard cards that are used for the ds roms.

    The normal R4 did that too. You just needed Rudolph's Software...

    get a ds iplayer then you can play gba games on a ds/dsi (without a slot 2 card) it can play gba games from just a slot one card and it can play movies in most video formats and not dpg so they are much higher quality...
    good things to get but they dont play nds games :-/

    Or just get a flash cart that actually plays DS roms. :p

    SuperCard DSTwo is able to play GBA games straight off of the Micro SD Card without any extra attachments...it's a bit pricey, but it's worth it if you ask me. :)

    It requires additional hardware in the card, which they may not feel is worth it.
