Homebrew Is it possible to install ds roms as dsiware?

I think ahezard's work needs more love (or at least respect) from tempers.

It does

The short answer to your question is kinda. You can use nds-bootstrap, a backend that allows ds rom loading from an sd card. This is limited, and only works for some games. Most games don't work on it, including Pokémon.

There are Slot-1 ROM emulators. They're called "flash carts". Those work with a high degree of compatibility.

nds-bootstrap works by patching Slot-1 accesses and redirecting them to the nds-bootstrap code, similar to how Nintendont redirects disc access on Wii. It's not perfect, and it's slow because the SD card can only be accessed by the ARM7 CPU, whereas Slot-1 can be accessed by both ARM7 and ARM9.

I'd recommend buying a flashcard that can play Nintendo ds roms on a 3ds. I bought r4i 3ds rts. (Or whatever its called.) And it works well.
I also tried TWLoader but the only game I got to work was Mario 64 at slow FPS speeds and occasional crashes. I have tried other games like MK DS and no avail, just constant crashing or failing to boot.
