Retro games/emulators?
Use Twilightmenu for NDS https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases

Pirated Shops
Hshop is basically the only one and has all 3DS games. If you're looking for NDS games you need twilightmenu with roms from somewhere like vimm's

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.

Luma3DS v12.0 - homebrew menu autoboot, many more screen filter options, etc.
DSi modes uses nds-hb-menu bootstrap's TID by default, and is a bit slow to start as it needs to go through the native 3DS OS first no matter what
-
so this might not be a usual question
For most games you should be able to just put its .nds file on the SD card like any retail game, just check for a README file which will probably explain if there's anything special you need to do. Also flashcard kernels aren't great at running homebrew so if you have issues try run TWiLight Menu++, HBMenu, or GodMode9i and run the game from there.
-
Is there a way to get this to run homebrew games without re-timebombing it?
YSMenu should work fine for homebrew... You could try installing TWiLight Menu++, HBMenu, or GodMode9i and load the game from there, those are better at running homebrew than flashcard kernels.
-
Homebrew on Ace3DS+ clone
Hmm, try using either nds-hb-menu (you can rename the BOOT.NDS to whatever and boot it like a normal homebrew) or TWiLight Menu++ to load it if you haven't already. If that doesn't help then reformatting the SD with SD Formatter may help.
-
If you thought running Linux on a 3DS or PS2 wasn't crazy enough, here's Linux on a Nintendo DS Lite
It may have something to do with homebrew compatibility on your flashcard, you can try your luck with devkitPro's Homebrew Menu, it sometimes fixes homebrew compatibility issues.

GBA use on EDGE card for ds lite
Hmm, you could try loading nds-hb-menu (the BOOT.NDS, you can rename it), TWiLight Menu++, or GodMode9i, then loading GBARunner2 from one of those.
-
ds file not running?
Try loading it from nds-hb-menu, TWiLight Menu++, or GodMode9i.
-
gba runner 2 not working on r4 card gold pro :(
Try loading GBARunner2 from TWiLight Menu++ or nds-hb-menu (the BOOT.NDS, can rename it) instead. Flashcard kernels often have issues running some homebrew.

no homebrew menue just green DsiXL
and this for the BOOT.nds https://github.com/devkitPro/nds-hb-menu/releases/
