Buy it. (http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=246&products_id=3983&PHPSESSID=04e3ba0f431c29559c2eb6b69b10ed6d)
This thing is freaking sweet. Download PocketNES, put pocketnes.gba on the root of your compact flash card, and you can run NES ROMs up to 192 KB in size. And since you're just using PocketNES, you can do all the link play coolness, and emulation is damn near perfect.
This was TOTALLY worth $25.

Time for bumping.
The Movie Player works perfectly with the DS. NES games look absolutely stunning on it, too. You can actually see the bullets in Contra! Ha ha.

This sounds great, but will it work with a Mac? I've been wanting to get a GBA flash cart for the longest time but I couldn't find any that has Mac compatible software.

You just stick a compact flash card into the player, so yes, it works fine with Mac OS X. Just get a cheap USB compact flash reader and stuff the card full of NES ROMs.
Note that this isn't a full-blown flash cart, but it's had a few hooks added to the firmware so that you can run PocketNES or even Goomba (GB emulator) by loading them into the GBA multi-boot RAM.
