Yeah, The EZ-Flash 3-in-1 has been said to be compatible with the R4 running YSMENU.
To confirm, a quick google search clears it up and it states that,it works well with a DSTT with YSMENU, and if im correct the YSMENU used there is pretty much or IS identical, yes?
So It sould have no trouble running it. Good luck

By the way i actually found a Gba Emu for ds but you need still need an ez flash 3 in 1 or counterpart to run it. Whoever made it must of had some
spare time 'cause there was no point making one

Pretty sure that it is not an emulator, but a Slot-2 GBA loader (meaning it loads the GBA game from the GBA slot by copying it to the Slot-2 device) since the DS probably isn't powerful enough to emulate a GBA.
But since the DS has GBA hardware, why bother emulating?
From what I'm to understand, the reason why you need a Slot-2 GBA device to load GBA games is that there is no way to have the GBA hardware read the game off the NDS' Slot-1.

Go to this link and it says GBA Emulator http://www.zophar.net/consoles/nds/gba.html ]IT says you need iplayer in the readme
You can still run GBA with a slot 2 and other carts, either with Exploader or direct from the GUI like CycloDS, but yeah, the slot 1 emulator is designed for the iPlayer and the DS TWO.

While it IS in fact an emulator and not a loader, it's actually being emulated on the iPlayer and not the NDS.
It also looks like it has two limitations:
1). Needs an iPlayer flash card.
2). Needs the DSi hardware.

And the only reason it can do that is because the iPlayer has an onboard ARM9 CPU @200MHz and an onboard DSP CPU @400MHz.

From http://www.gbadsi.comQUOTE
iPlayer has one ARM9 CPU clocked at 200mhz (more than twice as fast as the normal DS on its own) and a secondary DSP CPU clocked at 400mhz. So DS iPlayer actually has internal specs more powerful than the DS itself, and this is what enables it to run GBA emulation when DS on its own can not.
It's possible that the one you linked (homepage here) doesn't need the DSi, the official one does.

You're still only partially right. The GBA emulator will run exactly the same on the DS Phat, DSL and DSi. All that's needed is the iPlayer.
