NDS games deleted off the 3ds home menu
you can use YANBF to install them as 3DS software instead of DSiWare, just note that there's a limit of 300 total icons.

Is there any way to override the 40 dsiware limit or whatever it is?
If you have a computer that’s able to run the app, you can use YANBF. It turns your .NDS files into .CIAs you can install on FBI

How to play .nds games on cfw 2DS XL?
C. YANBF. This also makes icons on your home menu for each game. Unlike NdsForwarders, it installs icons as 3DS games, so it counts toward the much larger 300 3DS title limit. It also seems to support antipiracy autopatching, though not cheats and save slots like TwilightMenu++. It's also a bit more complex to install.
- How do I get DS games on my 3ds? Is there something like h shop? Or do I have to go through the hassle of spending 30 minutes swaping files around. ( just so everyone knows I in fact have a hacked 3DS )

I'm totally stuck, 3ds wont turn on with sd card (Luma3ds)
if you download the rom to an NDS game, you need/can only use it in Twilight Menu. Twilight Menu is a bit slow on loading times, but it also has a bunch of emulators packed into it, allowing you to play the rom files of games from any console/device that it recognizes, provided the file's in the right folder. if you want to have an NDS game show up on your home menu, you can use an app called NDSForwarder. it allows you to make up to 40 forwards/shortcuts of any NDS roms you have in your sd card. if you want more than 40, you'll hae to use this https://github.com/YANBForwarder/YANBF . it took me a day or three to figure out, so just ask for help if needed, but it does have instructions for use.

nds Forwarder with widescreen support?
I'm trying to find software to create an nds forward that has support for a widescreen patch. I have tried both YANBForwarder and NDSForwarder, both of which say they have widescreen support, but after following the listed instructions and installing their respective widescreen patches, I got nothing. Are there any troubleshooting steps I can take? Is there another software I could try?
- Why wont Forwarder 3ds open? I have waited hours and hours and nothing pops up.

Can you put NDS and other roms on the homescreen?
Take a look at YANBF. You have to do a bit of work creating the forwarders on your computer, but once you get it running, it works like a dream.

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.
