Well, I got a gift card from Best Buy and saw this-
bestbuy. (Remove the spaces) com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8040979&productCategoryId=pcmcat45400050010&type=product&id=1157068274263
And I saw that it says "Play Shareware Games", and I wondered- Could I use this to play my DS ROMS on?
Or should I try to sell my gift card for cash, and look for something else?
Also- Are there any DS Flash cards that are just the Card, and don't require a GBA-styleish cart?

That's more like a file-viewer, you can't play your DS roms with it.
You'd need a PassKey(Card) and a GBA-Cart styled container for your FlashCard, so that you can actually get your DS to load the games.
A system that comes with a PassKey and the required GBA-style adapter is called "M3", you should find a shop that sells it via Google, if you combine it with the words "Flash Card".
The Passkey comes in the form of a DS game module, and is inserted in the DS slot. This allows your DS to actually boot the games from your FlashCard, that you place in the GBA adapter and in the GBA slot.

Yeah, I've seen the M3s before, but I havn't had money. And since I saw this at Best Buy, I'd figure I might want to jump on it while I have the gift card if it works. But, eh.
Thanks for the info. I'll try to just get some money and order a M3 online.

I use supercard and can run roms off it, problem is the roms need converting....
Flash cards are great I first heard of one and envied it cuz my PC was too slow to play GBA roms! But now I have a fast[er] pc and a supercard that not only plays GBA games but DS as well!
