    could i just start saving roms to it and playing?

    do i need i programmer to read the flash card and load the roms?

    where can i get roms?

    what other software (if there is any) do i need for my pc?

    is it possible to play movies or mp3?

    Yes, you can. If you recall, the Gameboy Advance Video series of cartridges have 3 or 4 episodes of cartoons on one 32MB (256Mb) cart. The quality is so-so, and I have been trying to make live action fit on a 256MB (2048Mb) CF card, and so far have failed.

    MP3's work fine, when converted to the format the GBA Media Player recognises. (quick conversion, no trouble at all).

    The DS will not read CF cards on it's own ever so you require a a gba cart with CF port, you will also need a DS Passme or Passme 2 compatable device aswell to run anything in DS mode.

    Passme or Passme 2 depends on your DS.
