devkitARM targets both DS and GBA, so making a front-end for the former
should work for the latter too.
It makes sense, since binary compatibility is achieved by having exactly
the same hardware: one of the CPU in DS is the same as GBA (arm7), the
2D GPU is also the same (except DS has one for each screen), A and B
buttons are wired exactly the same way, etc.
But you still have the problem of deploying your code in the device,
with dedicated hardware that has similar legal and availability issues
as DS flashcarts.
