Quake I DS can use it, using the EXRAM version.  This won't improve speed (and will actually slow it down a little) but you will be able to load all the level's textures at once.  You can also use the pack with Quake II DS, and in fact it's the best slot-2 RAM device to use for it. 

SNEmulDS v0.6a can use it to store large game files (>3 MB) so that the paging system doesn't have to be used (similar concept as Quake DS). 

Finally, DSLinux can also use it to prevent crashing with larger applications like Links and madplay.

Thanks for that.

Will take a look around.

Pitty the Google Earth Type App. Does not use it.

How would I go about that bud?

Is there a GBA app that does it?

Be great if there was an action replay code maker, (You know the type that searches for values everythime you loose a life)

not sure about action replay but Eepinator EEPROM backup tool works well with my r4 and 3in1 for rom backups :)
