The hacks were Elibian Nights, Sacred Echoes, & BS Fire Emblem. The latter two were for Sacred Stones and former for the Blazing Sword game.
Elibian Nights and Sacred Echoes both run fine on my 3DS with the latest master. Both crash on the DS, so this could be because of Highcode. I couldn´t find BS Fire Emblem patch.

That´s a experimental release. Crashes are to be expected with such releases.
Yes, but it doesn't crash on the DS version still. From the comp list this game seems to have been working for a while so if there actually was something done differently in the DSi version, it could be difficult to pinpoint using my quick and dirty method.

It could be a good Idea to test older DSi master releases.

This is a noob question, I'm sure...but does turning off "Center and mask" always result in graphical corruption outside the frame of the game area? It's really distracting, so I always leave "Center and mask" on, but I wonder if there's a reason why turning it off is even an option...is it doing something negative OTHER than the 1 frame of lag that it mentions?

You have to disable center and mask to be able to play International Karate Advanced and Worms World Party.

K, thats pretty sweet. I didn't expect it go smooth.

However,
I got the linkup working with a 3DSXL - DSLite
(both times ARM7_DLDI version, had to launch GBARunner2 via TWLM, not the option, that didn't work (scfg locked error).

The link terminated (timeout?), but now that I have a confirmation I'm kinda interested in testing more...

I don't know if there are different versions of the link cable implementation in games, but if you need any suggestions for games to test, you've got
Advance Guardian Heroes
Contra Advance
Gunstar Super Heroes
Magical Quest 3 Mickey and Donald
Shining Soul 1+2

Great job! What is e.w.re? Also when connecting sfa3 would it lose connection after a while?

e.w.re = Even with reconnecting (numerous times)
[as seen in the Mariokart Super Circuit example]

As far as I can see, SFA3 stayed connected for as long as I played.
Same for Contra (albeit that game was painstakingly slow)

Games I couldn't test, as they didn't boot:
- Payback (E) (not even showing the good ol' EEPROM Error)
- MMBN 1-4 (White Screen)
- Carrera Powerslide
- Smashing Drive (Runs waaay too fast)

Note, I'm not sure if the compatibility is any indicator,
but most EGO-Shooters had trouble with the "3rd party" Majesco Adapter aswell it seems.

Edit: Added some titles to the list.

Do you use a ds, dsi or 3ds? It says it doesn't work with ds at least, so it is likely a case of hicode.
