No. You need to have the EZ Flash 3-in-1.
There are some ds flashcards that can play GBA roms without the use EZ Flash such as the DSTWO and iPlayer/iSmart.

You can load them using the GUI but you will need a 3in1 or similar slot-2 expansion to run them.
In terms of emulation, the iEvolution should be able to at some point. Other cards like the DS Two, as mentioned, will emulate GBA already.

Just as everyone else says, you need a EZ 3in1.
With a few exceptions, like the extra power in DSi Player (Not a flashcart) and DSTwo, Emulating GBA through a Slot 1 cart on the DS is impossible.
What the Cyclo does is, it uses its GUI to load the GBA rom into the EZ 3in1, and then the 3in1 runs the rom off it's memory as a GBA game in GBA mode.
Once in GBA mode, the Cyclo part of this process is dead. You can even take the Cyclo out and the game is running. Once you start Cyclo again, it copies the temporary save file of the GBA game you played, and stores it on your SD card.
EZ 3in1 doesn't have a GUI of its own to my knowledge; it just does all the GBA work while Cyclo is the manager.

Emulation trough slot one is possible, but you will need a flashcard with built in cpu(so it produces more powerrrr) like
If you have a normal card like a cyclo, then you will need a slot 2 flashcard as mentioned above.

This question in particular should never be asked at all. It's like the number one rule of flash carts.
DSTWO and similar actually emulate using on board CPU?
I seems to remember a proof of concept video about someone running GBA code from Slot-1 via hypervisor ?
Edit: On a second thought it should be what enabled DSTWO to emulate gba lol
What I meant was possibility of a slot1 card accessing DS phat and DS lite's native gba mode capability.

Can't run slot-2 mode from slot-1.
You need the pack because the slot-1 card sends the data to slot-2 and then boots it.

Also, there's not enough RAM on the DS to be able to play the better games, all RAM is in the cartridges.
