why not buy an android phone with 4'' screen and play old adventure games in scummvm and dosbox?
maybe even play some nes, snes and GB* games too
or even ps1
although a good mobile to run all that may be a bit pricy
I already have an Android phone that I load those old games on... so yeah. There's some games unique to the DS that you can't get anywhere else.

However, as I mentioned earlier, the poor sound quality and small window-size is not very fulfilling, plus I'd like a way to play them on the go too.
The real thing has an even smaller window size, you know...
Anyway, be sure to buy one of those R4 chips, felipepepe has one and he fucking loves it. You'll probably need it for GBA games, anyway.
Yeah, but I hate having all that unused screen real estate around the windows. I find myself losing attention span as I get older. If the game screen doesn't take up at least three-quarters of the monitor I'll be drifting my mouse off to the taskbar and then find myself browsing the Dex or something. Again, that and the mobile factor.
R4s are a given, of course. I coupled that with one of the 16GB micro SD cards I have lying around and now I have about a hundred DS games on one flash cart.

So what is worth looking for on the GBA ? That will skip me a few google search, plus i'd rather have codexers opinions than any random guys on the net.
Off the top of my head, GBA games I've enjoyed...
Advance Wars (kinda anime strategy game),
Fire Emblem (anime as fuck strategy RPG),
Astro Boy Omega Factor (anime but old school as fuck platformer),
Mother 3 (jRPG but less stereotypical),
Advance Guardian Heroes (great beat'em up),
Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis (prequel to the highly rated PSX strategy RPG Tactics Ogre).
