Some homebrew (for example, the Hexen and Heretic ports, snesDS) *REQUIRES* the use of a GBA flash cart to store assets on (art, music, and what have you).

The GBAMP is not going to run these.

Then the ports of Heretic and Hexen don't have an accurate mode. Both games for the PC originally read assets from files in a FAT file system on a block device.

Sure, a version could probably be made that reads from the compact flash or something like that, I'm just saying the ds.gba versions there are currently can't be used on a GBAMP since they aren't expecting a normal FAT file system and aren't designed to use the compact flash like that. I think they both use GBFS (perhaps this would help with changing it to run from the compact flash? although I can't know for sure), so they are using some kind of filesysystem, just not something that maps directly onto the compact flash card.
