the actural rom size isn't 64MB，the rom size 16， 32，64，128 is for clean rom，however，there should always useless zeros at the end of the rom to padgen it to reach the 2∧x size

It was one a few files sent to me by @Bobesh8 . He sent me Mario Vs Donkey Kong, Super Mario 64 DS, and a few others.
I tried out both Mario games, they both yield the same result. (They appear on my home menu with the image and everything.)
So, uh, something very interesting is happening that is going to prevent anything from working.
Mario vs Donkey Kong installed fine, and started okay. To my disbelief, the screen went white, and I thought it was going to boot.
Interestingly enough, it just booted the DS cart I had in my 3DS at the time. With no DS cart in, it spits out the "Error Has Occurred" message.
EDIT: After more testing, it looks like the same goes for Sonic Classics Collection too.

Dumb troubleshooting.
Do you have the patched TWL_FIRM?
Are you installing to both SysNAND and EmuNAND?
Are you actually doing it right, or just renaming .nds to .cia?

So would that mean that we would need to patch it to load roms off the sd rather that the game card
1.) It wouldn't even work if I hadn't patched the TWL_FIRM.
2.) I'm installing and running it right from sysNAND.
3.) I'm using make_cia for all of this, and it works just fine for other DSiWarez.
Try to change some things described in http://problemkaputt.de/gbatek.htm#dsicartridgeheader (you don't need to change the hashes or the signature).
Then: twltool modcrypt --in rom_patched.nds --out rom_out.nds
Then: twltool modcrypt --in rom_patched.nds --out rom_out.nds
Changed the Unit Code and the File Type. It just boots to a white screen now. Progress...?
I don't see much else to change besides those things.

Random thought: If an exploit could gain control of a DSi game that has SD card access, it should be possible to dump the 3DS NAND, and even execute the FIRM downgrade attack on 10.5 to reenable memchunkhax2 for downgrading.
This is because the SD card registers are the same as the NAND registers, so in theory, a DSi game that has access to SD also has access to TWL NAND. Also, I doubt that in DSi mode the hardware restricts the sector numbers to the TWL range, so in theory, the CTR parts of NAND ought to be accessible.

Because the application code read from the cartridge, among other things.

I just booted a CodeBreaker on my 3DS using a converted DSiEnhanced game! That's big! Because this means super old stuff like the original R4 can get around the integrity checks from CTR mode!
Holy shit I actually have 2 original R4 That I used with my deceased DS lite, That sounds awesome.

If you want a good system to port it to, at least have a good programmer and knowledge.+1 -

I didn't know they made an MSU cart for the Genesis.... I knew about the SNES one and the library for that is rather large but the Genesis one has very few games+1 -

An FPGA could probably replicate the chip's functionality without buying donor parts.+1

Like not emulating the entire SNES but just a loader and the enhancement chips perhaps even slightly overclocked like FX-2

@Psionic Roshambo, The Doom NES cartridges, a few batches were made. One was given to AVGN as seen in his Doom video.+1

I finally modeled and 3d printed the new HDD cages I need in order to build my 2nd NAS. Original ones don't fit the mounting holes on the hdds I'm using. Been sitting on this project for over 2 years smfh -
