Probably: the Opera RAM Expansion has only 10 MB extra, the 3 in 1 has 16 MB. The question is whether the homebrew uses it or not. I think DSLinux does.
Btw, the M3 Perfect is even better: it has 32 MB
The Opera RAM expansion has 8 MB, not 10, and yes DSLinux has support for both the Opera RAM pack and the 3in1 expansion pack. The extra RAM can be used to launch larger applications without crashing.Pictodrive (Megadrive emulator) takes advantage of the official RAM pack to speed up emulation.
Actually no it doesn't. It lets you use larger roms appended to the *.nds file, but it doesn't speed it up. Also it's PicoDriveDS.

SNEmulDS v0.6 Alpha can also use the extra RAM to store large roms if you don't want to use the paging system.

Spelling mistake but not by me i pasted this quote from the Opium's EZ V review URL=http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=42399
it is mentioned twice in the "3-in-1 Expansion Pack" part of the review that Picodrive takes advantage of the official RAM pack to speed up emulation.
Then the reviewer was probably wrong. The official PicoDriveDS website says absolutely nothing about the external RAM speeding things up. It only says that it can be used to play large games by appending them to the emulator core. In addition, external RAM is slower to access than main RAM, so it doesn't make sense that it would speed things up. Personally I tested a game using both the filesystem method and the appended rom method, as I have a slot-2 Supercard that can handle both, and there was no noticeable difference at all.

@ x65943:
If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction -

You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
