Is it possible to play DS ROMs on DSi without a Flashkart?

[HarkatMulds]

I have a 512 MB SD card, an SD card reader, and a credible ROM and Emulation source... But zero money. Does anyone know if its possible, and if so how, to play DS, or any other system for that matter, on a DSi without a Flashkart?

I've heard you can play DS games by placing DS game carts into the cart slot.

Come on now, you can afford a DSi but can't afford to get any used games for it?

I got the DSi from a good friend who was upgrading to the DSi XL. He gave it to me for my copy of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It was an unfair trade... But I got the most money, so I'm not complaining. And he said he didn't really care about getting scammed.
