    I found a good program to convert gba files to nds files to put on my r4ds
    well i think i need something more because when i try playing , screen comes black and "Error in fat init"

    Maybe NDStation? But you need the EZ 3-in-1 or similar to run the converted games.

    Yes, NDStation.
    Why can't i do it on my R4DS?

    like sirmoine said you need a GBA expantion. or what he recalls, an "EZ 3-in-1"
    Gba roms need a certain kind of 'ram'.
    and the gba expantion gives that kind of ram so you can play GBA games :)

    you can NOT play GBA roms without something like that.

    And can't I add a kind of gba-ram?

    no, only with a slot 2 cart

    or an iplayer cart, there is now a gba emulator that uses the iplayers extra hardware(ram) to run gba games in slot 1 :)

    But the iplayer cannot play NDS games, since it's not really a flashcart, it's more of a media playing device.

    so as a conclusion, you have to buy an expansion pack for the slot 2, to make GBA work for your DS

    good luck.
