If you are on 11.3 without CFW, you can do neither of these things. Want to play DS and GBA ROMs, get a flashcard from nds-card.com or look up GBA Homebrew emulators. If you have CFW, look up Ultimate GBA VC Inject Generator for GBA games.

You buy a flashcart

There is a DS emulator, but it only works on New3DS and runs like shit. There is a GBA emulator in starterpack, but it also runs like shit.
Which I really suggest the DSTWO for GBA emulation on stock OFW.
You can't do GBA injection on stock OFW because you don't have the patched AGB firmware to make them work. Which is something you can only get through CFW.
If you want a CFW, sell your 3DS and buy a new one. Current ones on the market should still be on 11.2.

You can't install CFW (custom firmware) nor can you put GBA games on your Home Menu. Your only solutions are to get a flashcard or use an emulator.

Explaining CFWs here
https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/3DS_CFWs
More information on CFW functions
http://gbatemp.net/threads/faq-what-cfw-is-best-for-me.428509/
Since you are 11.3, you are basically SOL. 11.3 has no kernel exploit and patched out all methods of downgrades including hardmod and dsiware downgrade. If you want a CFW, you would have to sell your system and buy one on 11.2 and below, which pretty much all new systems should be on.
Otherwise your best option for DS and GBA is the DSTwo

The DSTwo is the only cart with GBA emulation
http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=326
Thus it's the best for DS+GBA

Yes, it's completely impossible. First, there is nds-bootstrap hack, but it requires a CFW to work. But it also sucks, doesn't work with most games, and doesn't save with others.
Second, 11.3 patched out ALL FORMS OF EXPLOITS! Not only did it patch out the methods used by slow/fasthax, it also made it impossible to downgrade with hardmod/dsiwarehax. It added a NATIVE_FIRM requirement to the homemenu, meaning if you downgrade the NATIVE_FIRM, it will just boot to black screen and that's it. The only thing you can do is buy a new system.

You can not install a legit CIA without a kernel exploit, something that doesn't exist with 11.3
There is a userland DS emulator, which is this one
https://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-3desmume-ds-emulator-for-3ds.430223/
Which means it can be launched through the homebrew launcher. But it hasn't been updated in months, only works on new3DS's, and runs like junk.
The other one I posted requires deeper access to the ARM7 CPU to work. Something userland (homebrew launcher) doesn't have access to.

The DSTWO+ can only load in NDS mode on 11.3. You can not use it for anything else, no CIA's, no .3ds rom loading, etc.

Please edit your posts instead of multiposting.
The Ace3DS will not work on 11.3.

Actually looking at the project, it appears to need svcHax in order to work. Which means it doesn't work on 11.3
Even if it did, it was limited to 1 game at time and ran like junk.

You are seriously better off buying a flashcart. There is no realist way around this.

Y should i not use ace 3ds plus it supports11.3 right?

Wont there be a ds emulator(in future) that can run without cfw on 11.3 because mgba and other vc emulators dont require cfw

One more thing :is it possible that there will be another version for fbi so that i can install legit cia.

I had already installed mario kart 7,animal crossing new leaf,mario 3d land and New super mario bros 2 ( gold) all these were legit and i installed them when i was on 11.2

But now wherever i visit eshop it says already downloaded (mario kart 7 n mario 3d land) that means i will be able to redownload them(already tested it and works). But for the other 2 gAmes(animal crossing,new super mario bros 2 (gold) the already downloaded thing does not show instead it shows tap to purchase .it does not even show up in download history(i surfed about that and found out that animal crossing had a new version called welcome amiibo and the new super mario bros 2 in eshop was the normal version (not gold)) then i came into conclusion that it may be because of this thing

But do u know how to bring back those games in eshop so that whenever they get corruped i can redownload them (i already exprienced it with mario kart 7 but could redownload cause the redownload option was there)but for these 2 games how do i redownload them if they get corruped or deleted (i know that i had to intall the ticket with fbi of these 2 games after i installed them but i forgot about that)

no. the arm11 is simply not powerful enough. you'd need native rom booting which you can't access without a signature patcher
