I know you guys have probably answered this before but I couldn't find much on this topic. Is there any way for me to get more than one .nds file on my x-rom cartridge?

If not then can the GBA Movie Player (SD Version) have multiple .nds files on it and then you can pick which to run?

GBAMP SD does not work with DS homebrew

What you want is Darkain's MultiNDS loader. You don't see much talk about it, because most people at this point use CF or SD based cartridges.
You can get it here: http://www.darkain.com/ds/hack/ -- I think you want "Final Multi-NDS Loader (includes teh everythings)"

can the GBA Movie Player (SD Version)...

There is zero support for using GBAMP-SD in DS mode currently, sorry. If it's like the GBAMP-CF, you can load small GBA multiboot(mb) homebrew, but that's about it.

What kind of large capacity cartridge do you recommend that can run multiple NDS files? I have some SD cards laying around here so it would help if it uses that.

M3-SD and SuperCard-SD will get the job done for you. I believe FAT support is a little better on M3, but SuperCard is being worked on so that may have changed since I looked. Look for threads from chishm about the FAT driver for the most up to date info.

That's the problem, it can't run NDS homebrew unless there is a firmware hack that allows it to boot into NDS mode. Untill someone provides Chishm with a GBA MP (SD), SD card, and he agrees to take on the task, it will probably NEVER be able to run NDS homebrew.

But, using the standard firmware provided, it can run .mb.gba (GBA Homebrew) files under ~256k as is.
