playing GBA ROMs on a DS

[regnad]

Don't really know where to post this, so I'll try it here.

How do you play GBA ROMs on a DS? Do you have to have a GBA Flashcard in the 2-Slot, or can you do it with an R4 from the 1-Slot?

Is there a better place to find out this kind of information?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

No, you will have to have a GBA flashcart in the 2-Slot. keeping in mind slot 1 devices currently have no way of running GBA ROMs.

The only thing you could do is to get a non Rumble Slot-2 card or a EZFlash 3-in-1.

Look below:

Hope it helps. :D

I've heard it is possible to play SNES games from the 1-slot somehow.

Is it also possible to play GBC games through either slot?

And regarding using slot-2, what's the best way to do this?

Is there a good tutorial somewhere for people who have no idea where to start? Or any advice?

oops, double post...

Or, more specifically, I still have this, perhaps idiotic, newby question:

In addition to the slot-2 flashcard, would I need some kind of USB connection cable, or do most slot-2 flashcards have a mini or micro flash card? And what sort of software do you use to put ROMs games on the flashcard?
