Yes, SD ROMs are loaded by nds-bootstrap, which patches them on-the-fly to read from SD card instead of Slot-1.
Right, they're loaded via SD card but I could only get NSMB to work.

I really don't like using my DSi XL because the screen is too big and looks ugly for DS games.

What else couldn't you get working, besides AC:WW?
Not sure but I think a few like Advance Wars: Dual Strike. All 30 DS ROMs I had have been uploaded to the Wii U VC, eventhough the Wii U is completely different than the 3DS/N3DS and running off of software emulation. I'd say about 90% of my ROMs were incompatible.

Funny how the Wii U can emulate DS games better than the 3DS (not counting cartridges)

On 3DS, again it's not emulation.
There actually was a DS emulator for 3DS, and it's a port of DeSmuME.
It's very laggy and slow, and was dropped in favor of native ROM loading (nds-bootstrap).
With nds-bootstrap, ROMs are run the same as on cartridges, with the only exception being the loading times.

The Wii U is newer than the 3DS and this isn't an emulator.
Well the Wii u does emulate the DS.

The 3ds doesn't emulate them though... Of course emulation is better than the original, it always is.

In the ROM select menu, press START, then press A on "Game selection".
The instructions should tell you how to run ROMs from your flashcard (click "Show").

Sometimes I try to add a game to the launcher but the program hangs at the "Now caching banner data" line. Is this the result of a bad dump?
