Mmmm IDN why but now my flashcard is not being read by my 3ds :(

what card? i sometimes have that issue. try powering your 3ds off, inserting the cart, and then powering it on. I've found that all nds flashcards are finicky and don't fit well into any 3ds' slot. I've been trying to find replacement cart housings that will fit better, but I haven't found anything yet.

There seems to be a 40 title limit for DSiWare titles, and I've got more than 40 games I want to be able to play. I made a cia for the YSMenu.nds file but it keeps loading itself unless I press B (because it keeps reading the ini file, and that loads ysmenu.nds, ad inifinitum). Is there a way to fix that?

Also, the menu text is all placeholders (not actual language), is there a way you can fix that as well?

EDIT: I found out how to fix both of these issues, but it requires editing/extending YSMenu itself. Could you post your source files? Thanks.

What do I do with "forwarder-****.nds"?
There's nothing to do with it. You can delete it.

It's useful to keep them in case you want to try hex-editing something else before converting to CIA.

If you un-select the "Keep DS Files" option in the app, these should be erased automatically after generating the CIAs.
