Can I play Game Boy roms with the GBM and Supercard SD?

Haven't found an answer to that question yet...
I think that I would not buy a GBM if I could not play my beloved Tetris. As the GBM can not play GB Classic / Color games due to the lack of that processor, can it play roms of the old games?

Thanks for your Attention.

I believe much like PocketNES, there is a way you can emulate the Gameboy hardware and compile roms up into a .GBA ROM image. The name of the program evades me right now, I'll know it tonight when I get home. :)

The SC has goomba built into the the firmware. You can just dump your .gb images directly onto it.  Tetris and Pokemon work great.

Great, thanks for the answers! Gonna order that thing.

Goomba can be used on other flash carts as well. Supercard is the only one to have it built in though, as stated.

It must be noted though that GBC games aren't compatible with it... yet. I don't know if GBC will be implemented but for now you can't play GBC games. But GB games that have GBC tendencies (like pokemon blue\yellow\red) work fine, just in greyscale.
