I remember in the Wii days it was said to be impossible to load Gamecube games from a USB connected device. Then Crediar released DIOS-MIOS and it became possible. I'm hoping something similar happens eventually with NDS games on the 3DS. Perhaps using some sort of launcher that hooks memory to allocate the DS game to RAM and then reboot into TWL or whatever.
If not then I'll spring $7 for an original NDS R4 clone that supports Wood (not interested in paying extra for the so-called 3DS branded ones -- I am fine using one of those TWL launchers for it). (Note: I know my sig says I already own one -- but I have lost it).
I normally prefer playing games on my PC whenever possible. But for DS this just isn't ideal. Having a column sized display of two screens on the center of a 16:9 display just isn't practical in the least sadly. And sadly no DS emulators yet allow each display to be in its own window, or be allocated to a second monitor. Thus, it's really only practical to play them on real hardware or second best on a tablet or phone that can orient as portrait.

I believe iDeaS allows separate windows. I could be wrong about which emulator, but I know one of them does. Mainly because I've used the feature to have a separate monitor per screen.
... What if we could trick the 3DS Console into recognising the DS digital games signature as a 3dsgame...? (like firmeware spoofing) (Console thinks a DS game is acctually a 3DS Game and runs it... or maybe shelling a ds game within the coding of a 3ds game. (Like Patching a rom))

This is an old topic, but I thought it would be worth mentioning that WarioWare: Touched is available as DSiWare.
Don't know how it was released... I just found it on CIAngel. Pretty cool, considering that I bought and lost the cartridge version twice. It seems to be the complete, full game. Minus - perhaps - the debug menu and (more obviously) the Twisted compatibility.

It's been out as DSiWare since March as a My Nintendo reward. It's not available at My Nintendo right now.
Sky3DS can"t load DS games because it"s only a 3DS Flashcart, they should need a DS Flashcart to do that, I"m not very sure if the way Sky3DS acts it can emulate a DS cartdrige instead, but since it"s a propietary Flashcart and isn"t source of how all of it works I can"t even say for sure if is possible or not something similar with actual cart.
From what I've heard they had to take the source code of that game and modify it to work with the DSiWare mode.

They would have to modify it somehow, if you take the source to an NDS game and just recompile it then all you'll have is an NDS game.
Something being hard so it hasn't been done yet and something being impossible are two different things. Anyone who said it was impossible probably meant the former or simply didn't know enough about what they were talking about.
DIOS-MIOS runs the gamecube games in gamecube mode, but uses the second cpu to do the loading. If the 3DS can be put into an NDS mode and still have access to all the hardware then sure it is theoretically possible. If nobody cares to try then it doesn't really matter though.

Whats different between a DSi rom and a DS rom? Maybe we could patch a DS rom with the files DSiware needs?

The way stuff is loaded, etc. It's not as easy as switching files, that's why WarioWare: Touched! had to be recompiled.

So, out of curiousity cause i was looking for twlnmenu, i found the torrent of the DS (and maybe DSi) SDK. If this is of any use i will put it up on the site (dont put a warning on me for this; i didnt name it.)
EDIT: Looking back this was a pretty hard find; this is literally the only copy out there. Its got Wii, GC, DS, and apparently Wii U. Also has *some* DSi things on it. Not alot.

One of the differences (the relevant one) is that a DS ROM can only loss data from the cartridge slot. Patching the files would have no effect as it can't load the files.
The Nitro SDK is easily found in paradise.

I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though -

But other than PC and Amiga ports I don't think Time Soldiers had any game system ports after the Master System

Ohhh just noticed that myself I bet it makes the Master System port look amazing by comparison lol

If you want a good system to port it to, at least have a good programmer and knowledge.
