I do apologize if this has been asked before, however I did do a search and found nothing answering my particular question.
Been using a DSTT flash cart on my DS-Lite for awhile now, which has been working rather nicely. I'm particularly fond of the built-in cheating device for my DS roms.
However, alot of the games I originally loaded onto the card I have since bought legitimately (because I only pirate to try the game out or if it's ridiculously hard to find). Owning them for real is nice, but it unfortunately means I lose whatever saves I had worked up to on the ROMs, and the ability to cheat (nice feature for those grind-heavy RPG's, especially if I'm going to end up playing through the game again).
Which makes me wonder: we have software that can be loaded onto Slot-1 devices to interact with Slot-2 games. Is the reverse possible? I presume it would be to an extent, since the flash carts can act as expanded RAM slots. Is there some way, if you had a slot-2 flash cart, that you could load a Gameshark software of some kind onto it that would boot and then boot the cartridge in slot-1?
Basically, I'm asking if it's possible (and if so, if a program already exists) to basically turn a slot-2/GBA flash cart into an Action Replay DS, to avoid actually having to buy one (since buying a slot-2 flash device would presumably be cheaper and.or more versatile in its functions).
