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.

Famous quotes containing the words physical, flash, card and/or emulation:
“Perhaps it is the lowest of the qualities of an orator, but it is, on so many occasions, of chief importance,—a certain robust and radiant physical health; or—shall I say?—great volumes of animal heat.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“New ideas come into this world somewhat like falling meteors, with a flash and an explosion, and perhaps somebody’s castle-roof perforated.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.”
—Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)
“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)
