Well, I managed to get a black DS Lite from this kid I work with at RadioShack. I got it for 30 bucks with Phantom Hourglass. I thought it was well worth the purchase It has only a few cosmetic problems...mainly the hinges :/ but I can easily replace the case.
I was reading as much as I could and found that many people enjoy their CycloDS Evolution, so I decided to purchase one, and I already have a microSD card. They should be arriving soon so I'm looking to see what I should download. I was reading that emulators work really well on the CycloDS Evolution, and from what I saw on YouTube. I have boat-loads of NES, SNES, and Genesis Roms, so I'm going to need some emulators. Does anyone know where I can get or what emulators I should download? I'm just looking for a good resource for emulators. I found NesDS, snesDS, and PicoDriveDS for Genesis emulation, but I haven't heard anything about their performance or compatibility with the CycloDS Evo.
For the NDS, there are slot1 cards, and slot2 cards. The cycloDS is a slot 1 solution, and is very good (I have it). In order to play GBA games, you also need a 3-in-1 card for slot 2, costing $20.
But you don't need that for what you want.
Here is a link to a list of Emulators that run from slot 1. Enjoy!
I will copy some of it below, for completeness sake! I couldn't post the entire thing as I am limited to 1000 characters.

Think about it, a portable NES/Mega Drive? What about restoring GB/C Playback on your DS? I will assist you!Feel free to ask ANY questions in this thread! First, READ the "First Things First" section.
First Things First
Q: Can you give me teh linkz to teh ROMs?
A: NO! This isn't the site for you to get ROMs. Search on Google or whatever search engine you use. Don't bother asking, or the banhammer will come and haunt you. :ha:
Q: Can I play GBA games on my Slot-1 Flashcart?
A: NO!!! This question has been asked way too much in the past. There is no way to emulate or play GBA ROMs on your Slot-1, it doesn't have the right hardware. Get a Slot-2 for GBA playback.
Q: What about N64 games? Just look at SM64 DS!
A: It's still a NO. The DS, isn't capable of emulating the N64. Super Mario 64 DS was a port, meaning it was imported from the N64, and taking advantage of the DS hardware, they pretty much re-did most of the game to be playable on a DS.
Q: Umm.. MAME/Arcade games, what about KOF!?
A: Nope. DS isn't capable of it. If you're looking for Arcade Portability, I suggest getting a PSP. :dry:
Well. Actually, you can emulate the early arcade games on the DS.
Q: No Wonderswan emulator on your list? YOU FAIL!
A: Hey, no Wonderswan emulator for Slot-1's, FYI.
