Gameboy and NES are emulated very well on the DS. Genesis emulation is accurate and full speed(very impressive), but jenesis lacks horizontal scaling. So if you want to see the whole screen, you have to pan with the shoulder buttons. I find this to be more trouble than it's worth, especially if you're playing horizontal shmups where you need to see as far in front of you as possible to react in time.

I see there are alot of options. The other question is, what is a legit site to buy the flash cart from?
there's also R4 and R4i. but beware there is a lot of clones out there.

if your searching for a micro sds, i recently saw Target selling some for $9.99 for 4gb. good deal.

I bought from this site before: http://www.realhotstuff.com/
There's also the M3 Real, which is the Flash Cart I purchased. A bit of warning for the R4, it is NOT Micro SDHC! The Cart's limit is 4GB. The R4i and the M3 Real can support up to 32GB.

I have the Cyclo DS & M3 DS Real. They're both great and they both have the must-have feature (in my opinion) which is save states.

I also have the AceKard 2 which is pretty good but does not have save states.

All 3 of the cards are supported and have somewhat frequent updates.

I haven't played any emulators on my DS. I save those for the PSP.

I got a DSTT and an EZflash 3in1. Works fine, I just have to make sure I use the specific EZflash tool to transfer my GBA roms to my microSD card otherwise they don't save.

Avoid the R4 and all of it's clones. The card isn't supported and it's a complete pain in the ass to convert YSmenu to it. I used to have an R4 and it was crap, plus they don't accept SDHC cards either (the clones do but they're trash and must be avoided). I simply just got a DSTT instead of putting up with the crap they are so cheap it's laughable the amount of shit I was putting up with with the R4.

The DSTT is still officially supported to a point. The last official firmware was January. There are plenty of unofficial variants of it though. Such as the recent one that added support for Bowser's Inside Story and Kingdom Hearts without the need for action replay codes.

I tried a Genesis emulator on DS about a year ago, and it was too slow to used. I think SNES was pretty choppy as well. I'm not too familiar with the situation, but I'd put good money on the PSP being a much better choice for emulation.
