So I want one. Gimme some information that helps, unlike most google searches for me [which have basically all been forums talking how cool they are or how this one sucks use that]. I just need the full on facts about them. I have a regular DS [not Lite], I would like to be able to play both DS and GBA roms on it, if that is even possible. I would also like whichever has the nicest interface, hopefully a skinnable gui. MottZilla, this probably means you.
DS Flashcart talk!
Okay, you mean this?
Yeah, so you can get all kinds of software on that, search google for
Nintendo DS Homebrew. I suppose you will find emulators and roms like
that, and I also could point you at a good romsite, but there are some
rules here.
You want the M3 Adapter. It plays GBA and NDS. It's a GBA cart with a memory card slot. You'll need a special DS card to play DS games. It'll cost you somewhere around 90 to 100 to get what you need, but then you'll have GBA and NDS covered. The DS card is called PassMe 3 or PassCard 3. I have no clue if the interface is skin-able but it looks good enough. You don't spend much time in that part anyway.
I have the M3 MiniSD that uses MiniSD memory cards. It plays everything very well. Remember to buy a good brand of memory card. SanDisk is good.

This is the one I have, and it works great. The bundle they sell includes the memory card as well, and works with both the DS regular and lite varieties. Check them out.
Mr. 207's link looks like a good deal and may work out cheaper than what I suggested. The M3 is the way to go and whathe linked it a newer product of theirs. It supports GBA if you get the GBA bundle.
The M3DS Real is really awesome. Built in firmware, no need for a pass-me...it's amazingly easy to use.
I can't decide between the M3 and SuperCard. Which one is better?
The M3. SuperCard is decent and cheap for Nintendo DS, but overall the M3 is a much better buy.
I've got a CycloDS. I like it.
