Help with DS emulation

I know this is some shaky ground but.... could someone recommend a good flash cart for DS-SP (aka not the ones on ebay) but one that you know works and you either have it or know exaclty how to use it. I am a total n00ber when it comes to making the right investment. (although i love my DS)

Thanks!!!

I googled it and that one seems to be alright. Comes in a 1gb GBA cart too. 9.5/10.

Don't know a price or where you can buy it though.

Those ones won't work with a DS per say unless you have a GBA lieing around, they transfer data via the GBAs link port.

This would be more up your alley (especialy if you have a large SD card already).

It was designed to run on a DS and it can play Mp3s and movies and can play NES and SNES games with an emulator not to mention NDS homebrew and NDS roms if you feel roll that way. You have to get a SD card if you don't have one but it still works out to be about the same as a normal card but with 10x the space if you get a 1 gig SD card.

If you decide to get one remember most cards use the megaBIT size and not megaBYTES. Megabits are smaller than Megabytes. In fact 1 Gigabite = 128 Megabytes.

That looks cool. But Radon, you didn't scroll down enough. THere's a GBA flash cart DIRECTLY under where you were looking.

Those GBA flashcarts are measured in megabits. Remember 8 bits to 1 byte. So a 1Gb (note the capitalization) is equal to 128MB.

i would buy a GBA micro, and one of those flash carts...that would be sweet! All those games on one small handheld......but im afraid i would loose the thing (it's well....too small

)

So Radon if I buy this flash cart you mentioned do I have to buy anything else like links, or is everything included that I need to play roms and emulators and such. (doesn't really say in description)
