I bought Nintendos DS Lite Browser with Expansion Pack. I wanted try to play GBA roms with my R4 Ultra but when I placed expansion pack in DS and used GBA Exploner program it just said that there are no expansion pack. So what´s wrong? : /
 
The reason you can't use it for GBA files is that the GBA, by design, starts execution at hex address 0x8000000 and the Opera RAM expansion pack only allows you to write to address 0x9000000 and above. Possibly this was done so that the DS doesn't accidentally identify it as a valid GBA game instead of the expansion pack that it truly is. Point is, you can't load a GBA game to it and have it work, though certain homebrew programs can be coded to make use of the extra RAM.
 
EZ3in1+ requires special treatment.
GBA_Exploader 0.58b has a bug in writing to NOR(NOR isn't enabled until you power off then power on)
Some softwares are reported not to work with EZ3in1+
