DSONE Slot-2 Boot
These days, when I play gba games on the DS Lite(have an rg35xx now) I use GBARunner2 to play gba games on slot 1. I know it's not what you're wanting, but it's still worth checking out if you've never used it.

I found this a while back, I was wonder how can I use it

Just found out about these things and I have a few questions
For gbarunner2, setting it up is as simple as going to the github page then downloading 'GBARunner2_arm9dldi_ds.nds' and puting it on your sd card. If it doesn't work then you should use 'GBARunner2_arm7dldi_ds.nds' instead. It will allow you to launch gba roms, though compatibility isn't great. It would honestly be better to mod your 3ds to play gba roms using open_agb_firm

Should I use an R4 card for dsi or should I use cfw to download games directly on the console?
Also, I highly recommend GameYob a great GameBoy emulator for DS and 3DS. And if you share your sd card between the two, you can bring your saves and roms with you
