DSi CFW Megathread
TwilightMenu++ is an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. This should let you run NDS, NES, and SNES games without any additional plugins.

Creating the Ultimate Pokémon Machine, and more! (v2.0)
Alternatively, you can use TwilightMenu++, which is an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. However, I don’t like using it on the 3DS. If yours is broken, try downloading it again from the Universal Updater app or try this.

Now that the 3DS shop is closed, is there a solution using Sky3DS to access Poke Transporter?
A side note: If you want to transport Pokemon from gen 5 or before and your gen 5 game is on an R4 or similar DS flashcart (or is a fake/reproduction cart from eBay), that won't work directly since Transporter only sees actual retail cartridges. There is a workaround though, you can move your ROM and sav into TwilightMenu++ on the CFW console, which plays DS games from the console's SD card. Then you can use Dream Radar Cart Redirect, which makes Dream Radar and Transporter both read sav files off the console SD instead of retail cartridges in the slot.

Also be sure to update to the latest Luma firmware as well as the latest version of TwiLight if you aren't already using them.

3DS XL flash cart recommendations?
don't use 3DS flashcarts(gateway, sky3DS), you will brick your console, install CFW( https://3ds.hacks.guide/ ) and TWiLight Menu ++ (https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases)

DSi CFW Megathread
GBARunner2 is a plugin that lets you run Gameboy Advance games inside TM++. Follow along with the instructions on the GitHub link to install. This should also let you play Gamboy and Gameboy Color games as well.

I found this a while back, I was wonder how can I use it
You can use gbarunner2 to play gba games
-
Just found out about these things and I have a few questions
For gbarunner2, setting it up is as simple as going to the github page then downloading 'GBARunner2_arm9dldi_ds.nds' and puting it on your sd card. If it doesn't work then you should use 'GBARunner2_arm7dldi_ds.nds' instead. It will allow you to launch gba roms, though compatibility isn't great. It would honestly be better to mod your 3ds to play gba roms using open_agb_firm

Which of these is the best r4 for my old 3ds with custom firmware?
You will also need to test some homebrew to see if it launches too, any homebrew will work, though I'll give you some examples to try out: - DS Reader - Text reader - Gameyob - GB/C Emulator - Gbarunner2 - GBA Hypervisor - Try GBARunner2_arm9dldi_ds.nds first and if it doesn't work, use GBARunner2_arm7dldi_ds.nds

Emulators for 208 in 1 ds cartridge?
GBARunner2: https://github.com/Gericom/GBARunner2/releases Try GBARunner2_arm9dldi_ds.nds first, and if that doesn't work try GBARunner2_arm7dldi_ds.nds. GBARunner2 can use the GBA bios if you have it, it should be called bios.bin on the SD card.
