Ds Gba Slot Accessories
Thanks for the reply Okay, I will definitely report this bug.
The Cartridge Slot Cover is a replacement for the one included with your Nintendo DS Lite. The Cartridge Slot Cover is a removable cover that keeps the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot clear from dust and debris when it's not in use.

Well, after googling alot, I stumbled upon this info -
I've figured out how to make the migration option to appear when using DeSmuME (current v0.9.4). As you probably know this emulator supports GBA-NDS linkage since some builds ago. However it was not working for Pokemon D/P/Pt so far. Migration is still NOT possible though (save corruption message), but you get the benefits of 'dongle method' (depending on 'inserted' GBA ROM you get additional pokemon in-game).
I look forward for cory1492 comments/suggestions. It seems just a matter of a better/proper FLASH save access support on the emulator itself to be able to interact with the GBA sav on the HD. But I lack the required tech knowledge to 'describe the problem'.
I've only tested with Pokemon D/P ENG (ADAE/APAE, US or EUR, it doesn't matter)
Requirements:
1. NDS BIOSes (both ARM7 and ARM9 dumps)
2. NDS save which allows migration (you have the National Pokédex and are able to enter Pal Park)
3. NDS ROM patched with Pokepatch v4.2 by cory1492 -->OR<-- clean D/P/Pt ENG ROM + 'Dongle Method Only' AR code by cory1492 (see below)
How to:
1. Go to 'Config->Emulation Settings'. Enable 'Use external BIOS images' and browse for your ARM7 and ARM9 dumps. Enable 'Emulate SWIs using BIOS images' (not strictly required, but it won't harm).
2. Go to 'Emulation->GBA slot'. Select 'GBA game' and browse for your clean GBA ROM of choice (R/S/E/FR/LG). Remember that: migration requires that GBA ROM language matches that of the NDS ROM. However dongle method works for any language combo. Ideally you should also have a proper GBA save (128 kB) named like the GBA ROM, but as I've said, on accesing the migration option you get a save error anyway (lack of proper GBA FLASH save access emulation).
3a. Load your patched NDS ROM -->OR<--
3b. Load clean D/P/Pt ENG ROM, wait for the titlescreen, pause emulation, go to 'Emulation->Cheats->List' and enter the following AR code
020DC50C E3A000C2 020DC500 E3A00009 (for D/P ENG)
020D1564 E3A000C2 020D1558 E3A00009 (for Pt ENG, NOT tested)

After entering the AR code you have to *reset* and unpause emulation.
The 'Migrate from R/S/E/FR/LG' should appear now. As I said you can't migrate yet (GBA corruption error), but corresponding dongle pokemon are now available.
More Dongle-Only AR codes are required for JPN/FRA/GER/ESP/ITA/KOR versions, so Pokepatch should be the way for them (maybe cory can disclose those AR codes). However from the emulation point of view the save access patching applied by Pokepatch should not be required, but only better/proper emulation support for GBA FLASH save access on DeSmuME.

It is not possible to migrate pokemon from LeafGreen/FireRed/Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire to D/P/Platinum:

NDS Accessories and Add-Ons
GBA / NDS Media Player
Nintendo will be releasing a DS memory-card adapter for the transfer of MPEG-4 video and MP3s (32 - 320kbps) to the DS and Gameboy Advance. It will use a GBA cartridge with a slot for SD media (MMC) and will be backwards compatible with the GBA. Retail price is set to be about $50 US - although no immediate plans exist to distribute the product in the US.
Nintendo: Please release this in the U.S. soon.
Nintendo has explicitly mentioned ripping TV shows and taking them with you - and I, for one, find it hard to imagine Nintendo releasing a media player that only uses one of the two DS screens - as GBA cartridges currently do.
If you agree - then this implys that access to both screens and potentially both processors is possible from the GBA slot - a tantalizing capability currently unconfirmed. As if this announcement weren't exciting enough without the ancillary possibilities for misuse.
If true, this means a way to reuse those writable GBA flash carts to load DS software including DS Linux, homebrew software and all the rest....

GBA Flash Linker / Writer
GBA ROMs Backup
We use Flash Advance Linkers to backup games from Nintendo cartridges and burning games to special GBA Flash Cards. What we do is we connect the Gameboy to PC, put the game into GBA and than we run flash writer software - select gba rom backup option and in about 5 minutes the rom will be fully copied from the cartridge to computer hard driver! It is all very similar to how music can be copied from a CD and later burned to CDRW disk only here MP3 = ROMS , CDRW = GBA Flash Card, CD Writer = Flash Writer
