Gba Flash Cart
This question may or may not be Kosher on this forum, so please lock/delete if it is. So yesterday I made a major score: A backlit Game Boy Advance SP.
Always wanted one, but could never find one in decent enough condition to take home. Nintendo released this final revision of the GBA SP right after the DS Phat came out, so it was pretty much forgotten. I don't know if you've seen side-by-side comparisons, but whoa! The backlit GBA SP crushes the original in picture quality. I've always heard about those flash cartridges for the Game Boy Advance, but never considered getting one until now. It's sort of a two-part problem. One, flash carts are much more convenient than carrying around 10 or more cartridges, and two, Game Boy Advance games are getting really hard to find in stores.
So, which is the best flash cartridge for GBA? Do these devices really work? Well, sure.they work quite well. The one I used to use was an X-ROM.that sort of cart is what I would call the 'old school' style of flashcarts. They are basically high capacity carts that are in just like GBA carts, except they are rewritable (and also have more space for saves and what not).

These days you might be better off getting something like a Supercard or an M3 Perfect. Those are of the new school variety. They work a bit different. With that sort, instead of rewriting the cart each time you want to play, you load whatever files you want onto an SD card (probably a mini or transflash card.some of these carts support SDHC some do not) and then you select it in the cart's software, after which it will load it into the cart's built in RAM (rather like the rewritable stuff in a regular flash cart but only temporary) after which it'll start the game. In a lot of ways that sort of cart is way more convenient since you can store as many games as can fit on your SD card, though each time you play it'll take a moment to load up the game.

Now, I have an M3 and though it was a bit expensive it works great with everything I've tossed at it. Supercard is cheaper, but I haven't used one. I do have a slot-1 DS flashcart by them however, and it seems to be a quality product. If their slot-2 GBA Supercard cart is of similar quality it should do well for you.
Thank you for all the good advice. At the end of the day, i just might just track down and buy the games I'm after, and just do it that way.
The flash cart thing is too confusing. On a side note, I'm glad I got the updated GBA SP. I didn't know this before, but the DS displays GBA games smaller than a real GBA. I guess they had to size it down to fit in the different aspect ratio.
It seems like the best option for Game Boy is to buy the last version of GBA SP (which plays all GBA games, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color), and get a DSi for your DS needs. I don't think there is a version of R4 that works in the DSi.
The DSi (understandably) blocks a lot of flashcarts. I only use my powers for good, but not everyone does, so I understand why they'd try to do that. Also keep in mind that it's a DS flashcart, not a DSi flashcart.
If there are games that are cart based and are DSi only, it's unlikely they'd work. Apparently you can NOT access the extra hardware from the DS side of things (the RAM, camera, what have you), so there's more going on there.
