    I have a few questions:
    How many DS games can they hold?
    Can they play GBA Games?
    Can they Support Emulators?

    Also, is it worth it?

    Get an Acekard ver 2.1.

    Has perfect compatibility.
    Good interface.
    Supports download play and WiFi.
    Does not support slot - 2, so you can't GBA games.
    Is cheap.
    You need a microsd card, 30 games per gig.

    Or if you want to spend extra money, get a CycloDS Evolution

    1. Depends on your transflash MicroSD capacity and the games that you plan on putting on it.

    2. Not with a slot-1 flash cart. If you want to play GBA games, you'll either need a slot-2 flash cart or an expansion pack like the EZ Flash 3-in-1 (which is what I use).

    3. I don't understand specifically what you mean by this question. If it helps, there are certain homebrew such as Lameboy, SNEmulDS and others which play other "retro" games such as SNES, GBC etc.

    4. In the long run, yes, it is worth it since pirating games is almost always more worth it than buying unless you're caught. ;)

    No, no and no! R4DS used to be one of the best options but there are better options that are also cheaper.
    2.Whats a MicroSD?
    Google is your friend.
    3.What would the Price range be?
    The average flash cart can be bought from $15-30 USD.

    Whats a MicroSD?
    same as SDCard (the memory card that u use it for Wii). but MicroSD is much smaller than SDCard. its sold in everywhere(i think)

    i have Action Replay DS Media Edition that is same as R4 and flash card. but dont buy it. its very bad. i couldnt bring my ROMs to it. i can say Action Replay DS is good only for cheating not for these things.....

    CycloDS is your best choice. Get a large MicroSD card (1 or 2 GB is fine) and then put games on it. It's a great buy. Comkes in over 10 languages and 100 skins are available. Has built-in AR codes an can play MP3, video, photo. MicroSD card not included in CycloDS package. *.AVI* extension doesn't work.

    Buy it!

    yes get one dude. an R4 or M3 Simply its 34.99 and its simply the best ever. also get an EZFlash5, about $15(slot two thing not slot one) and you can play GBA and all kinds of hacks from here. you can have emulators of all kinds on there even NEO GEO!!! (so awesome) but anyway its defiently worth it man. supports up to 2gigs can view videos(only .DPG and .DSMP), photos, mp3's (all kinds of audio really) and supports the NDS Browser, Loads of differnt skins and built in AR updated everytime a new major game comes out. (like once every 2-3 months). also there is a program called DS Gamemaker that i wanted to bring up. (imagine RPGMAKER but for making DS games) i think you guys can see where im going with that^.
