Literally technically impossible. Hopefully this "exploit" (it's barely that - there's not really anything being broken) will allow more people to get DSi emulation up and running for posterity though, I guess?

So, it's a way in to getting the shit from the console to make it possible to analyze and RE the DSi for emulation of the platform? Seems pretty useful still I guess. Would be nice to see the SudokuHax fleshed out for the 3DS though, make it more useful than a ROP installer.
It's a lot of things. First and foremost, it's a way to get dsiwarehax back on 1.4.5.
No. The system is sent into DS mode when the flashcard is launched and shuts off access to the cameras, NAND, and SD card.
The closest is cookhax, but you need a compatible DSi model. It installs a payload-esque thing to the wireless card in the system, which is accessed by My Healthy Cooking Coach's payload when it's exploited from the save data. I'd love someone to try expanding upon it, but I doubt it. It is open-source though which is cool.
How does the CycloDS iEvolution work, then? I know it uses the Cooking Coach exploit. Does the exploit work together with the flashcard in some way that would not be possible with a plain DS flashcard?
Definitely a cool way to go about it. Reminds me of Plop, where you can install it to a WiFi or otherwise vulnerable PCI card's flash and have it execute when the motherboard does the initial PCI init. Gotta love the fringe ideas.
Are you sure? It runs DSi homebrew; I wouldn't expect a cart simulation to do that. It also can't access DSi features that require permissions that Cooking Coach doesn't have, which would be odd behavior if it's simulating a cart.
Yes. It has its own MicroSD slot to copy contents to. What happens is that the flashed ROM is run, and the exploit that's in the game loads content from the Cyclo DSi's SD card.
Anyways, I found the source for CookHack and the dslink app that sends small binaries to the DSi over wireless: https://github.com/devkitPro/install-dsilink
Edit: There's also more save exploits here: https://github.com/WinterMute/savesploits (Although if one has wireless loading already added, why not just add onto it?)
It starts by simulating a cart to gain execution control, and then loads the exploit, toggles the FPGA to regular flashcart operation mode, and acts like any other flashcart allowing RW of the SD card as a mounted volume. It's smart, if nothing else, but limited to Cart SD RW, no internal SD/NAND.
dslink works ok? it's a bit glitchy and the nds files constantly corrupt, even on a hotspot.
It's not bad, but for me it's hit and miss. I have gotten code running before, although I wouldn't recommend it for how cumbersome it is. However, you cannot be on 1.4.5. One of the newer versions of the firmware will delete the CookHack save file if detected. I'm on 1.4U right now so it works fine.
glitchy != not working
Just make sure you have a v1 wireless card, or it won't work. You can replace the wireless card with a v1, or install the SPI flash to the pads of the v2 pre-flashed apparently, if you have a v2. Else, wait on Wolfy.
Need signed DSi header to start in DSi-mode. Else, it boots in DS-mode, with no DSi benefits. Also, DS DownloadPlay runs in DS-mode, so useless for all intents and purposes. Need DSiWare to do what we want to do. PS, when starting DSiWare, cart-slot access is shut off. NAND is available though. When you launch from the cart-slot, you can't access the internal SD or NAND, regardless of mode.
