It is not that hard to answer a simple question and stay on topic
So what is the ideal way, today, to run NDS roms on 3ds without flashcart?

Install TWiLight Menu++ Updater (link below) and run it on your 3DS to install TWiLight Menu++ and nds-bootstrap.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/ds-i-3d...-ds-i-games-and-ds-i-menu-replacement.472200/
Use the tab labelled "Set-up (CFW 3DS/2DS users, via Updater)"
^^^^^^^^^
Yes. Without a flashcart TWiLight Menu++/forwarders (both based on nds-bootstrap) are pretty much your only options.

My personal opinion on this:
Since the compatibility has improved A LOT, TWiLight Menu++ is a valid answer to the initial question while bickering about different flashcarts is not.

Since there already is a discussion about flashcarts…
R4i Gold 3DS Plus is the best cart you can get at the moment easily.
Advantages:
  • Drag and drop – plug and play. Easy.
  • Near perfect compatibility without patching ROMs
  • ntrboot for repairing a severely softbricked 3DS
Disadvantages:
  • Drains the battery
  • Costs money and needs a second micro-SD
TWiLight Menu++
Advantages:
  • Free – software solution; only uses the console (micro-)SD
  • Good for the battery running time
  • Optional using DSi clock frequency (133MHz) and better audio.
Disadvantages:
  • Slightly more work setting up and newer ROMs have to be patched because of anti-piracy “features”
  • Using a different DS system with your games and saves is a bit more work than inserting a flashcart into another device.

I'm using one of those R4 Flashcards, no issues after fixing (somehow) Bejeweled 3.
If it has a timebomb haven't seen it go Kablooey (love that game too!).

Flashcards are way more convenient IMHO, even more when used on a DSi XL, the best combination.

Where did you buy from? and what's your location? Shipping shouldn't be that slow if you choose a good reseller.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yeah power supplies are filthy perverts
