Is there a Nintendo DS flash card that...

I've been wanting one of these for a while, but I want to make sure that there exists one that fits these conditions.

It's a GB(C) emulator for the DS.  There are no GBA emulators for the DS as of now.  I really don't know much on DSi flashcarts, but the CycloDS has been very reliable for me (and the dev team got a test run working on the DSi, so there's hope in that venue).

No no no, you're all wrong, those don't play GBA.  THIS plays GBA: BEHOLD GBA ON DSi (if that's not the right link, click this too)

Also, put lameboy from Axaj's link in that ds-iplayer and you're good to go.

Emulator download for GBA is here: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=247206

You need extra memory to emulate a GBA game on the DS  because it's wimpy

the only flashcards with it (that I know of) are the iPlayer and the Supercard DSTWO

plus, I'm not sure if the iPlayer can play DS games
think they kept it out to keep things semi-legal



And be careful with lameboy, I've had it corrupt microSD cards before

From what I've heard on these posts, you need to load emulators onto the flash card. Is this true? And, if so, do compatible emulators for those systems exist for the DSi?

yeah, you need to load an emulator for everything that isn't an NDS game


about the software –
for some reason, people haven't fully hacked the DSi,
and can only activate normal DS mode with a flashcart

So no extra memory or cameras  [img]http://forums.glitchcity.info/Smileys/classic/sad.gif[/img]


but all the software still works

The DSi has much more memory than the DS Lite, and thus does not need the slot 2 memory. This is why the DS Lite browser requires an extra cartridge of memory to run a (somewhat slow) browser and the DSi does not and runs a faster browser. So if he's talking about a DSi emulator, then even if it needed slot 2 memory on a DS Lite it may not need it on a DSi.

I'm confusing myself too    >_>

The DSi does have extra memory,
but none of the current flash cards can access it

The iPlayer and DSTWO have extra memory built into the flashcard itself,
and that is why those two are the only ones that can run GBA games


No other flashcards have it    [img]http://forums.glitchcity.info/Smileys/classic/sad.gif[/img]

I'm pretty sure only slot-2 cards are able to have extra RAM.
