...excuse me? I beg to differ.
On my Flash2Advance Ultra cart I have tons of homebrew, including a port of Linux, a fast text editor, a calculator, Minesweeper, 30 varieties of Solitaire, Yahtzee, a very functional text reader, an image viewer, a video player, an audio player, an NSF player, an SPC player, an NES emulator, two SNES emulators, a GB/GBC emulator, a Lumines clone, a paint application, a TI-83 emulator that runs at full speed, a windowing system called GBA WinS, a word jumble solver, two 3D engine demos, and a program to change the real-time clock on my F2AU.
And that's just a fraction of all the games and demos out there. Not to mention all the great commercial games available for the system.
That was obviously a pretty ignorant thing to state.
Anyways, I think the best slot 2's are the Supercard and EZ Flash's for homebrew. Actually I've read that Supercards can't be beat for homebrew since most stuff(older .gba homebrew) was coded with those carts in mind. I've got a G6 Lite and have ran into a lot .gba homebrew that won't work with it. I don't know if this is the same with the M3's too. So for homebrew, I think a slot 2 Supercard or EZ Flash will be your best bet.

Just keep in mind that Supercard doesn't support 128 kilobyte saves under GBA mode whatsoever. This affects F-Zero Climax, and Pokemon Emerald/FR/LG, possibly others. In fact, to my knowledge NO flash cart in existance allows it.
h8uthemost, the Supercard didn't even exist for much of the GBA's lifespan. I'd guess that the most popular GBA flash cart was probably the Flash2Advance, especially with the advent of Pogoshell. For a long time, NOR-based carts were the only ones you can get. NAND-based adapters with RAM for launching binaries like the Supercard and M3 appeared later on. Perhaps you're thinking of early DS programs, as many targeted the CF-based adapters like the GBAMP and Supercard CF.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
