It's not possible, sorry. If you wanted GBA compatibility you should have gotten a slot-2 device. There is no emulator, and it's unlikely that there will be a usable one in the future due to the way the GBA works.

However, I believe if you have a DS Lite you can try the EZ-V expansion pack. I think (not entirely sure though) that some people have managed to get it writeable from within an M3 Simply. I would do some research on it beforehand though.

m3 lite perfect is a good match for your slot1 m3 as well

Some homebrew users have been able to get the GBA and Opera RAM functions working from other slot-1 devices, though the Rumble feature is still usable only on the EZ-V. Check the EZ-V Expansion Pack review at http://www.dsdatabase.org/ for some more info.

Im using the ez 3 in 1 expansion pack to play pokemon fire red right now with my R4.....opera works too!

But like dantheman said, rumble sucks atm, but its being worked on.

the gba games use a RAM cart and not a flash cart to store games on requireing a faster chipset to run off of so getting it to work on a M3 simply would take mass DS hardware knolegde to get a usable GBA emulator to run off a slot 1 device. But then again, 2 years after it said it couldn't be done, and a basically playable N64 emulator with sound came out for the PSP so you never know...

the bigger issue is more that slot2 will play GBA natively, so there's basically 0 incentive to try and code a GBA emulator for slot1

So far the closest thing that ever came to a GB Emu was a GB color Emu thats the farthest I ever seen..rather than that, nuthin..
