i don't think the 3ds has the ability to flash to a cartridge maybe a pc would do it buuuuut we don't have a way to access a 3ds cartridge on a pc (I think so)

as I think the cartridge does not use something like a cia file or 3ds... it probably uses the raw uncompressed files which I think are hard to get.

CTR Cards use .CCI files which stands for CTR Cardridge Image
And NTR Cards use .NDS files I believe

although it would be amazing if we could do that. think of the possibilities..

vc injections on a cart, unsigned apps like ntr on carts, videos.

I don't know if a stock 3d would read unsigned CCI's but yeah, yeah rom hacks would be easier, also for NDS Games.

although I think unsigned apps would still need cfw because of the checks that the system does

I think it is still possible but EXTREMLY hard..

but again we found a way to flash a whole system firmware to the 3ds nand chip.

maybe we can do the same but on a cartridge chip.

you can convert CIA/3DS files into CCI and backwards. also Unity for N3DS can build CCI files
and well you can dump an NTR card to get the NDS file

I think that the storage chips are Read-Only, so once they are flashed they are done. Seems logical as to why the games are called ROMs. I could be wrong on this though.
that is also what I am thinking but then how can we save if they are only read

The Image I inserted is a PCB of a gamecard, the large chip most likely contains the game data,

no there not stored on the sd card because this a action replay powersaves thing uses the cards to read the saves so that clears something
