All you need is a flash cart or media adapter and a PassMe. Personally, I use FlashMe (used SuperKey to install) and an EZIV to play DS and GBA games. Depending on how much you're willing to spend, you may want to take a look at the M3 and Supercard series as well.
As for where you can buy them, try one of these.

your help is much appreciated, i think im leaning more towards the m3 setup, but i need to know which is best for my DS Lite. IM pretty sure i need passkey2 for the Lite, but i dont which adapter to get (SD, mini SD, or CF). And if i get the M3, do i just need the adapter and passkey and im good to go? thanks for anything you can help me with

Updated the guide again.
This time I've included info on the new EZIV Lites, the deluxe and compact.
Other updates to the EZIV itself:
-Speed increase in Castlevania's intro. This *might* increase speeds for other games, but I haven't tested them yet since the only other game that I know of with speed issues on any cart is Tony Hawk's American Sk8land.
-Included info on EZ Flash's release of the FATlib for EZIV.
Tis a shame they didn't release the entire code. I had my hopes up right until I read DragonMinded's posts on the EZFlash forums. Guess I won't be seeing a fully compatible DSorganize anytime soon... It's the only homebrew app I'm really interested in...

What are you having trouble with exactly?
It's a rather straight forward application.

You have to patch games before they'll work on the EZIV. Read my guide for more info on that. As for Moonshell, get the latest version here.

Have it load directly onto your microSD card so it'll install all the necessary files and directories. Next thing you should do is create a folder for media on your SD card to organize things a bit. Moonshell natively supports MP3, JPEG, BMP, PNG, NFS, SPC, WAV, OGG, DMV(video), and DPG (modified MPG). If you want to watch videos, make sure you convert the video to DPG or DMV using the tools that come with Moonshell or else they won't work properly. Next, transfer all the media onto your microSD and everything should be fine.

Yeah, it'll work just fine. As a rule of thumb, anything that plays DS games from the GBA slot and relies on a PassMe will work fine with FlashMe.

You're trying to play them using Moonshell, right? Not the EZIV menu?
You have to run Moonshell before they'll play.

How much battery loss do you seem to have on your DS using the EZIV Lite? It seems to drain my battery mad crazy fast
I purchased a 2nd party 1200mAh battery, anybody else used these?

I never really noticed much of a difference, really. Keep in mind I use FlashMe instead of a traditional PassMe, so that plays a part in that.
Using a fast SD card along with the latest firmware helps as well.
I'm still using the stock battery, so I can't really comment on the one you bought.

You aren't playing on the brightest setting, are you? My brother plays on the one right above the normal DS, and still seems to get great battery life.

I thought i was low on capacity on my micro card, so i put all my games and the saver on my PC. after i download the moonshell thing and put songs in it i still can't see the moonshell Icon on my micro card. Is the Moonshell.ds.gba. is the right program, right? when i download it to my micro card, i can't see it at my EZ flash menu. I think it might because GBA format. is there the DS format for this. Then I download a game from a website, for DS. i Saver Patch it, but I still can't open it. it always Froze when i try to open it at the EZ menu. I use a MK4 key, and 512mb Kingstone memory. Is my EZ Flash IV compact broke or something?
Oh yeah, i have a strange thing happend at my game. At my card there's a nintendogs game, and i play it for 2 day and it always reset my perviously saving. i play it againg, and it always do it agian. so is this normal, if so i didn't have to spend time to play nintendogs.
