Physical Flash Card Emulation
While ROMs can be run on a computer or laptop using an emulator it is also possible to run downloaded games from a specially designed blank game cartridge directly onto a Nintendo DS console. The majority of these Nintendo DS storage devices are produced in the Far East but can be purchased in most countries. Unlike the ROMs themselves, the legality of these cards is an extremely grey area, because as well as running illegally downloaded ROMs, they can also be used to back up copies of genuine purchased games or run software and games created by homebrew amateur developers.

“Those things which now most engage the attention of men, as politics and the daily routine, are, it is true, vital functions of human society, but should be unconsciously performed, like the corresponding functions of the physical body.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The legislator must be in advance of his age.
Across the mind of the statesman flash ever and anon the brilliant, though partial, intimations of future events.... Something which is more than fore-sight and less than prophetic knowledge marks the statesman a peculiar being among his contemporaries.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“I must save this government if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do; but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
