    Community Answer
    No. You can only play DS games. The screen shots are also wrong, since it shows a 3DS game.

    Community Answer
    You can't, you can only play DS games, but I imagine you could use a laptop with some emulators.

  • Question
    If I eject the cartridge while the folder is in the DS already, will the ROM still be there?
    Community Answer
    It will be there, the only problem will be that it will either crash or freeze your system.

  • Question
    Does this work with the Nintendo DS SD card "MP3 Player"?
    Community Answer
    No. You need a flashcard since the DS has no support for running off an SD card.

  • Question
    Do I need to use WinRAR for this?
    Community Answer
    No, you shouldn't need it, necessarily. Though, if you do need some extraction software, WinRAR is the best of its kind.

    Does this work with Game Boy Advance games?
    Community Answer
    No, those are two separate systems. In order to play GBA games, you need an emulator or a GBA.

    Can I add the games to my 3DS?

    Unless you have an R4 3DS flashcard, no. The R4 DS and R4i cards won't work on a 3DS.
