Hi,
My apologies if this has already been asked/answer and/or the answer is common knowledge. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any answers.
So, as per subject, are SDs in DS carts accessible by homebrew written for 3DS? In other words, can I store roms for retroarch, for example, and run them from there? or use FBI to install a .cia on the internal microSD that's stored on the SD in the cart? Or are the carts completely invisible to the system unless running DS software/homebrew?
I'd also like to know if there's any benefit these days, given the newly achieved and progressing access to pre-3DS DS-flashcarts, in buying "modern" DS Carts designed for use in a 3DS as opposed to the old ones (which seem to be generally cheaper to acquire).
Lastly (I promise!), is it right to assume that getting a DS cart with an extra cpu is useless because we can leverage on the 3DS hardware instead, for those extra features (I believe those would be just GBA/SNES emulation)?
In the end, I'm trying to understand if using a cheap DS cart can be a way to feed software to be installed in the internal SD card, which is a pain to access directly to on a N3dsxl, as well as serve as a resources location for 3ds homebrew.
Cheers,
