I have recently ordered an EZ 3 in 1 expansion pack. I will write a full review once it arrives as currently the only ones I can find are directly from the manufacturer. Regardless, I am looking forward to playing with the new toy. As well as the ability to play Gameboy Advance games and roms from my M3 simply the 3 in 1 also has a rumble feature and some much needed extra ram. Such ram is used by the DS to actually run Gameboy Advance roms (weird really that you need extra ram to run older games) and is also used for the DS browser. I believe this memory can also be used for special homebrew applications, but I wonder, are there any official games that can take advantage of this extra memory? I certainly have not seen any examples of this.

I remember, many years ago the N64 console brought out an expansion pack allowing certain games like Doom 2 to have enhanced graphics. Other systems like the Super Nintendo also had cartridges with special chips such as the infamous mode 7 chip to enhance the capability of games. Now, why aren’t games developers making the most of these readily available expansion packs for the DS? Maybe it is because they tend to be associated with the homebrew scene, something that Nintendo obviously does not want to bring attention too.
