ROMs on 3ds??
DS games can be loaded on a 3DS via a program called TWiLightMenu. If you need help with installing and using it, make sure to read the available documentation. If after that you still need help, ask in more related subreddits, i.e. r/3dshomebrew or similar.

AMCS (b23062023dt) now available to try from our official website.
If you're running AMCS on the DS with an R4 card, autoload the TwilightMenu++ with NDS-Bootstrap, as the official R4 firmware doesn't cleanly launch homebrew. - TwilightMenu++

Explorers of time/dark/sky
If you've got a 3DS / DSi, there's also the option of using homebrew to play DS roms on it...then you're essentially playing PMD on native hardware! Look into TwiLight Menu++ (3DS will require loading custom firmware such as Luma3DS) if you're interested.

Help for GBA games?
Find the game as a rom, put it into your roms folder on your SD card, (should be /ROMS/GBA), install TwilightMenu++, 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.

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.

Rokid Max Review and Many Tips
Another wonderful option is to play Nintendo 3DS games with the Citra emulator. They look incredible. I would go so far as to say that if you're a fan of the console then this is the best way to experience its games, even better than on the original hardware. Again use 3840x1200 @ 60 Hz and full SBS. In Emulation -> Configure... -> Graphics -> Stereoscopy set it to "Side by Side". Also increase the renderer internal resolution to as high as your PC can handle (I used "5x Native"). We'll also have to set the display layout for our resolution and aspect ratio. Unfortunately, this has to be done manually. Browse to %APPDATA%\Citra\config and edit qt-config.ini with this in the [display] section:

Help, so i saw on a video that to make amiibo work on citra you have to put .bin amiibo files in the amiibo folder in citra-emu folder but it isn't there
After some more research, I discovered that the Citra devs discovered and fixed this issue by allowing the Back button to open the in-emulation menu. This fix was added on Jan 22 2023. When I checked the version of Citra available on the Google Play Store on my phone, it was a very old version from May 2021, which is strange because viewing the same Play Store page on my computer shows it was updated in April 2023... maybe your Play Store version is also outdated? If so, the only solution I can think of would be to install the apk from the Citra Nightly github repo.

Please help me run a Rom game
You might want to consider compiling it on your Mac yourself, rather than trying to download a build, given the situation with MacOS transitioning to ARM. Beyond that, your question is related ton emulation, not ROMs specifically, so if you still need help, ask on related subreddits like r/EmulationOnMacOS and r/CitraEmulator.

PSA: CITRA MMJ IS NOT OPEN SOURCE AND HAS BEEN COLLECTING USER DATA
There have been several recent changes merged for custom textures. Here is one of the pull requests for example: https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/pull/6452. The slow loading you're talking about was only an issue for me if preload custom textures was enabled.
What are some alternatives?
