GBA emulator for my DS (R4)?

[jangotangos]

Any links you can point me to?

There aren't. Game Boy Advance is compatible on the DS.

hi, before this thread drops down can i ask something on the matter? my little brother is getting a CycloDs Evolution for his nds and i wanted to help set up some things for him as he doesn't have a computer yet. he wants to play gba roms on his ds, but i just want to know, whats the procedure for loading up a gba rom? just put it in what ever fold all the other ds games go? i don't know the file structure, I'm completely new to this.

If you want to play gba games on a DS you need a slot-2 flash cart. There is no emulator and gba can't be emulated on a DS. To emulate something the system needs to be significantly more powerful.

you need a slot-2 gba memory card such as ez-flash 3 in 1.
where you place the files depends on the slot-1 cart you use.

M3 real for example needs it's .gba files in a %root%\gba folder
while some may need a special loader that can load them from any location

LIES!!!! you do not need a slot two! i have backed up my gba games on my m3 real. its slot 1!!!....... ok... im done yelling.

Take out the slot-2 addon that came with your M3 Real and then try launching the GBA game. It doesn't work.

I have a GnM (i know, pathetic) but i was wondering pretty much the same thing. I know there are programs that force the slot 1 to read from slot 2 but could there be a program on the Slot-1 that somehow tricks the DS into thinking its reading from slot 2? I know, i probebly sound dumb but i was thinking about that.

It's not as simple as that unfortunately. Just as an example, where will the GBA game run from? Once the DS boots in GBA mode, all DS-specific features (like slot-1) become unavailable, so it wouldn't be able to run from a slot-1 card even if you could get past the fact that GBA games and DS games are run in entirely different ways.
