That basically means you need to reformat your sd with a cluster size of 16KB or larger. I need to add a proper error message for that rather than using the "System File missing" message.

But why did it work properly on 1.8.1, then didn't work on 1.8.5(a), then worked again when I put 1.8.1 on?

Because things changed meaning you now need a higher cluster size for the game to work. (Had to be this way to still have the AAP and not brick any carts).

Format to a 32kb cluster size using the Panasonic SD formatter. Then install 1.8.5, then test. If that doesn't work install 1.8.5a overtop of 1.8.5.

JWTB and DIY works on my DS (only animal crossing loads 10 seconds after Nintendo logo...)
Do you have clean copies of those games? Try to get clean and untrimmed copies of those games and try again.
