By the way, it would seem some people are great artists or something. Last night, playing a race against a random opponent named "Zasalamel", I noticed that this racer's emblem (and about those emblems, great though I didn't really think Japan DID emblems in online games, much less custom made ones) was a PERFECT recreation of Cecil's standing Paladin sprite from FFIV.
Two options, he is an excellent artist (possible, that sprite did have to be drawn to begin with when making that game), or that person has one of those special memory cart cartridges and some homebrew that lets a person do things to game data. More likely it's the former come to think of it... I picked the Mickey Mouse looking one, because I can't draw you see.
Of all the add-ons I'd like to see for the DS jammed into the GBA slot, I think the one I'd really like would be an SD card adapter cart (with a USB plug in there too, for hooking up to a PC). Something like that would be great for all sorts of custom artwork in Animal Crossing, just as an example. Sure, some people might take advantage of that and start making unauthorized home applications, now using an official product to store them, but... wait how is that a bad thing again?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
