    I was wondering this because I dont have enough to buy a pass card till next month. Also I was wondering if I need the pass card to play NES and SNES games on it?

    You can still play GBA games, and any GBA homebrew without a Passcard.

    Yes, that would fall under 'GBA homebrew' as you would need to use GBA mode NES and SNES emulators.

    yes i can confirm this. even with the latest updates. my lite happened to come with a gba cart sized casing and a pink ds lite dust protector casing. more than i expected [black, white, sky blue or whatever]! go m3!!! although they seem to just be tossed in there... meh.

    anyways, i tested the lite on my gba and everything works so far.
