My GBA flash cart is in my DS at almost all times, and that thing sticks out even more than a GBA game. It just doesn't really inconvenience me. It's not like I'm trying to hide the thing. I also keep a bunch of GBA games around, which are switched in and out. Like Minish Cap and the Final Fantasy remakes. I quite honestly love searching for GBA bargains on games I overlooked. It's still a viable platform, as far as I'm concerned.

Then again... so is the Atari 2600.

I agree with onepointfivevolt. I keep a flashcart in my DS/GBA almost all the time, and I'm also still looking at all the games I've passed up.

It's quite nice to be able to store most of your DS and GBA games on one flashcart, even if it's a Slot-2 one on a DS lite...

I've unfortunately stopped keeping GBA games in Slot 2 after upgrading to the DS Lite. Currently it only holds the RAM cart because it's slightly more useful than the "Zen cart".

I'm even considering buying one of those 3-in-one RAM/rumble/flash carts designed for the Lite, just for the convenience of being able to keep my GBA games in Slot 2. Right now I have to settle with carrying around a Micro in case I feel the need for GBA games.

I still have the original DS so it's not a problem for me, 90% of the time Astro Boy is in there.

Still playing GBA games on my DS Lite, I never had an SP and I won't go back to the unlit GBA to play those games. Having the carts stick out doesn't bother me at all, still fits fine in my DS case..

I've been on a serious GBA game hunt lately. Finding gems like Golden Sun, of course Minish Cap, Klonoa is pretty good, and the Castlevania games. Found the Double Pak the other day! Score!

I was actually just thinking to myself last night that I wanted to get some more GBA games.

I use my Game Boy micro.

Gunstar Super Heroes hasn't left my DS slot in about two years.

Seeing as I don't have a flash cart (god, I desperately need one), I tend to not have anything in my GBA slot. I want to play through Golden Sun again, and I wouldn't mind having a Mario or Final Fantasy Tactics Advance to bring around with me when I take my DS out of the house, but I find the cartridge poking out to be really annoying. It's a small gripe, but a deal breaker in my book.

I have a few GBA games I like to break out and play, but the way it juts out sometimes is kind of an issue since I've got big hands. On a similar note, I'd like to see a developer put out a DS game with an accompanying Slot-2 ROM pack. There could be some interesting possibilities there.

Although I still have my Phat, I use my Micro. I'm currently trudging through Sigma Star Saga, which I found on ultra-discount and has been well worth the money thus far.

I still have the Phat so it's no inconvenience for me to carry around a GBA game.

As such, I pretty much always leave the Castlevania Double Pack in there. I've beaten both games but you never know when you are going to need your Castlevania fix. Not that that's really an issue because Portrait of Ruin is usually in the DS slot as well, of course.

I usually keep the "Zen cart" in, except when uploading Mudkips to my Diamond game.

My Phat usually has Sigma Star Saga in it, but my Micro has EDS.

I never keep GBA games in my DS Lite because I use my Game Boy micro whenever I want to play GBA games (which is more often than I want to play DS games to be honest.) I still think the combination of the Game Boy micro and Wario Ware is the pinnacle of handheld gaming.

Anyway, the GBA games I go back to most are:
Wario Ware/Twisted
Pokemon Fire Red/Emerald
Metroid Zero Mission/Fusion
Zelda Minish Cap/Link to the Past
Super Mario Bros. 3/World
Game & Watch Gallery Advance
F-Zero GP Legend
Advance Wars 1/2
and more...

I don't keep GBA games in my lite (too inconvenient) but I always carry a couple with me. Typically I have at least one major RPG (FFVI right now, just got it from play-asia... stupid australia not getting FF ports) and a couple of fun platformer/explorer type games (Castlevania double pak and minish cap right now.)

Until the DS gets a solid library of RPG's and a couple more metroidvania style games I'll definetly keep playing GBA games

I've got a Supercard Lite and EZFlash V 3-in-1, so whatever's in my GBA slot is usually one of them. The best part being that neither sticks out from the DS Lite.

At the moment? It's the 3-in-1 loaded with Spyro: Eternal Night, which is a little too much fun. :P
