Will try this when I get home. Inside are .nds files.

Not to be dodgy... but how can I be sure these files are not bricks for the NDS/ 3DS?

None of these show up on the home screen with the Stargate flashcart, they do however show up in DS mode. I can't seem to get them booted from the 3DS menu screen. May I ask what the templates are for?

Sorry for the bump, but I think I actually figured something out for these. As you know there is a template file for each of these emulators, each template contains a set of bytes. Most of us didn't know what this template was for, so I began to dig deeper about this. Up until now I had no luck with any sort of information about these emulators and the templates, that is until I received my Sky3DS+ yesterday and remembered something. Back in the day when the Sky3DS first came out there used to be a disk writer tool for it, in order to make games run on the flashcart you had to use the disk writer to patch and place the 3DS ROMs onto the SD card. Now what relevance does this have with the emulators you may be asking? The relevance of this information is what is used to patch these games, the disk writer uses text templates like the ones that came with these emulators above. So I went through my stuff that I had for the Sky3DS/Sky3DS+ and grabbed the disk writer to test. Sure enough the data on the template was patched into the emulator I tested with (Snes9x 3DS). As for making the emulator run however I still had no luck. I haven't figured out how to make it run on CFW yet due to the new update and what not, the Luma3DS payload that has compatibility with the Stargate 3DS doesn't work on 11.8.

Here is the exact locations that the Sky3DS Disk Writer wrote those bytes to in the ROMs:

Edit: (20231118)
For those reading this comment, none of these will work on any 3DS flash device other than the Gateway 3DS. The reason being is because the Sky3DS, Sky3DS+, and the Stargate 3DS all are designed to run cartridge ROM dumps with valid signature keys, basically they are designed to act as a native cartridge simulator that takes in standard cartridge ROM dumps and loads them as if you inserted the original game cartridge, homebrew lacks the key signature validity needed to pass the console's checks and balances as either "physical" or digital titles in form. The Gateway 3DS is the only flash device these will work with since the Gateway 3DS was designed to function in tandem with its own custom firmware through EmuNAND, which bypasses the validation checks for software, thus allowing the ability to run unsigned code even in the form of a cartridge ROM dump (usually associated with the .3ds file extension). This basically means the software posted in the main thread post is essentially useless, you can get all of them from their respective open source repositories and either download and or compile the latest versions of each and install them yourself to your system (custom firmware required).

Before someone asks, NO you cannot get the signature keys needed to make them valid to the system, the algorithm to generate the keys is closed source material that only Nintendo has access to, it would be extremely illegal to use such property on homebrew software, effectively gambling that software legally speaking as well as yourself. Don't bother trying, it isn't worth it.
