is there any homebrew/app that can play GBA roms without using the 2nd slot like old NDS/NDSLite? it's may useful because DSi doesn't have the 2nd slot.

if DS Slot is too slow for GBA game then why the NDS game can reach over 256mb than GBA game that only below 32mb?UniqueGeek said:

The storage space doesn't have anything to do with it. I'll try to simplify it: GBA games are built in a way that needs the data immediately. If the data is not delivered in time the game just crashes, which is why (some of the) early GBA flashcarts needed to patch the ROM in order to run correctly. However, DS games can stream the data from the game cartridge and therefore the transfer speed can be slower.shinnyuuya said:

Because size doesn't have anything to do with speed, does it.
Anyone want to have a sweepstake on how many threads there are about playing GBA games on a DSi with a flashcart? I'll go for 24.
maybe i'll have to wait for a long enough. I like to put all my fave game nintendo classic from NES until GBA.
Actually, you could say the DS slot supports bigger storage BECAUSE it is slower, for the speed of the GBA slot is due to the memory being adressed directly, much like the built-in RAM, limiting the adress range to that which the processor provides, which corresponds to 32 Megabytes. This is also the reason why flashcarts using RAM (which is just about every SD- or NAND-loading GBA cart as well as most GBA expansion Packs) can double as a memory expansion.
The DSi might be able to support GBA emulation/virtualization when DSi Mode is cracked due to its larger RAM, but constraints on ROM sizes are very possible.

I think we should outlaw healthcare entirely because the fact that people can get healthcare today is unfair to those in the past that couldn't+2 -

@Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal! -

Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.+1

Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US+1

It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.

I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.+1
Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority. -

If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

@K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?
Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
