Does the pass thru let you use all the space of the gba flash cart or does it copy the code to the DS's Ram?

I believe carts that size have been used. There shouldn't be much of a limit, I assume it depends on the passthrough's modified header.

The DS has lots of ram, so you can use compression heavily.
