Yep! All u need to run ds ones is a passcard. Since I am flashing my ds I will probably be selling my passcard straight after!

Ok... A quick update!

Well at first i got really pissed of coz my sd card wasnt recognized... so i pulled out the micro sd from my phone and put it in an sd adapter and all worked. I got my roms loaded on and they all work on gba with 0 slowdown. I will let u guys know about nds roms once i get my passcard 3.

I will post pics in teh next hour or so.

What does it look like from the front of the micro? And how bad are the slowdowns?

laggy .. but all the Mario games workwell

here's a list of review from another forum

G6 Lite
+ Doesn't stick out of the Lite at all
+ Excellent DS compatibility
+ Best interface design with touch support and icons for each game
+ Having its own memory means it doesn't have any memory card reading related issues like slowdown or heavily reduced battery life
+ Will have PDA features added
- Biggest version available so far is 512MB (fits around 8-12 games), 1GB version is planned
- Older G6 versions had some GBA issues, so far it seems the Lite version fixed this

M3 (miniSD)
+ Excellent DS/GBA compatibility
+ Can get up to 2GB in size thanks to miniSD
+ Lots of interface skins available (but none with the features of G6)
+ Since it's the most popular card homebrew will usually support this first
+ Will have PDA functions added
- Sticks out of the Lite the most of all of these cards and looks pretty bad
- Button to eject the card card can be broken easily
- Need to be careful with purchasing the miniSD since some have slowdown (Castlevania intro movie for example will be jerky)
- microSD M3 Lite will be released soon

Supercard (miniSD)
+ Excellent DS compatibility
+ Can get up to 2GB in size thanks to miniSD
+ Cheap
- Interface isn't as polished as others
- Very bad battery life (3 hours worse than M3 in some cases)
- GBA compatibility not the best
- Sticks out a fair bit
- Need to be careful with purchasing the miniSD since some have slowdown (Castlevania intro movie for example will be jerky)
- microSD Supercard Lite will be released soon

EZ4L (microSD)
+ Almost flush with the Lite (still sticks out a few mm)
+ Excellent GBA support
+ microSD up to 1GB
- Interface isn't as polished as others
- DS support not the best but getting better
- The tiny bit it does stick out is still noticeable
- Cheap build quality, users have had to file down bits of plastic to even get the card out
- Slowdown in games (Castlevania intro jerky, longer load times), unknown whether this is the EZ4L or microSD's fault
- 1GB microSD is expensive
