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.

Why does twilight menu freeze only when playing pokemon black 2?
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)

is there a way to install pokemon black 2 and make it work with pokebank?
If its from something like Twilight Menu++ or Nds-bootstrap , idk if pokemon bank can read the save file, but if doesn't, you could use PKSM to transfer them to a 3DS Pokémon game and transfer from that to Pókemon bank

twloader game freeze
So one thing I would try first is to update nds-bootstrap and see if that alone fixes it. You might consider installing Universal Updater to...update things (even Luma if you need to and you can uninstall Luma Updater, it doesn't work anymore).

Looking for answers, new to all this
This is where TWiLightMenu++ comes in; TWLM++ is a homebrew application (meaning it requires CFW to be installed in order to operate) that allows you to place .nds ROMs onto your SD card and play them from the TWiLightMenu++ app. TWLM++ uses nds-bootstrap as its backend. TWLM++ does not have 100% compatibility with ROMs, but it does offer on-the-fly AP (anti-piracy) patching. This means you don't have to manually patch each of your AP-protected ROMs.

Pokemon HeartGold keeps freezing
I've been trying to play Pokemon HeartGold on my 3ds, using nds bootstrap and NDSForwarder, but it freezes randomly. I don't get a black screen like most others i've seen. The game audio keeps playing, and all of the idle animations continue, but I can do nothing other than restart the game and continue from my last save.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing TWiLightMenu and nds-bootstrap you can also consider the following projects:
PKSM - Gen I to GenVIII save manager.
Luma3DS - Nintendo 3DS "Custom Firmware"
hiyaCFW - World's FIRST Nintendo DSi CFW!
mgba - mGBA Game Boy Advance Emulator
ndsForwarder - Generate and Install NDS Forwarders
GBARunner2 - A GBA hypervisor for DS. (like nintendont for gc on wii)
universal-pokemon-randomizer-zx - Public repository of source code for the Universal Pokemon Randomizer ZX
open_agb_firm - open_agb_firm is a bare metal app for running GBA homebrew/games using the 3DS builtin GBA hardware.
