The files are different, yes. Looking in a hex editor, yes they are quite different. Using a tool like Tinke, the main contents (eg art/game assets) don't seem to be, but the code files are.

yes, too many differences.
It's not even the same size
31mb(trimmed) for the ds and 29 for the dsiware extracted nds

And obviously different code for dealing with rom/nand reads, save files etc...
But since Nintendo or the publisher has the source code anyways...

We don't know how to do that. Also, is it possible to make a homebrew make slot1 reads? That's the main change we have between DS and DSiWare.
I don't know how many times this has to be said, but here I go, just as many others have before me:

IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO PATCH DS ROMS TO READ FROM NAND/SD/WHATEVER, BUT IT'S KINDA REALLY FUCKING HARD.

There, said.

This question gets asked far too much. There's a couple of limitations that will prevent this from ever realistically happening.

First, simply put, the 3DS's internal NAND doesn't hold much, at most you'd be able to have a small handful of smaller DS games on there. As for the larger games, maybe ~3? It'd be a pain having to swap those out.

Second, DSi is a bit more than just a souped up DS. The DS games would have to be ported to DSiWare, which is pretty much impossible without the sourcecode. Technically, some very talented coder, with poor priorities and too much free time, might be able to create a wrapper that translates, adapts, and points to new hardware. It might still be impossible, though as I'm not entirely sure of DSiWare's limitations.

Even if it is possible, I wouldn't consider that realistic, though, as why would someone go through that much work when people can just grab a $20 flashcart? Especially since it'd be more convenient, since it wouldn't suffer the space restrictions of the 3DS's NAND.

thing is why don't people stop trying to hack dsi ware and try to do some thing with the twl so you can make it read data of sd card instead of game card slot
