Okay, if I buy this R4i card for my 3DS: http://www.r43ds.org/products/R4-3DS.html
Will I be able to play GBA/GBC/DS/NES/SNES games too?I'm curious 'cause Thursday my dad will be ordering me one...
The answer is no. R4i is only for nds. If you buy a ez 3 in 1 flash AND an r4i card you can. I'll help you set it up if you buy one, want a link?
It can if you know what you are doing, but it doesn't work very well. The cards when playing gba games draw from both the gba pack and the power of the system, and since you are technically emulating on the system when you use a nds card, the best thing is to have an expansion in the gba slot of a nds. On a 3ds, it works, but with some of the games such as robotech, you are going to get so much lag it will be unplayable. At least that's my experience with most of the single card systems.
One second, let me grab it.

^ allows good gba emulation. It is also a rumble pack thing. However, it needs another card to work and does nothing on its own.
I recommend:

One of the cards from that site, they are pretty easy to use and work well, unless you want to play chrono trigger.
You also need a microsd card and connector (go for an 8gig or bigger, you can get one at walmart for $9)
