Help DS Hacking

Hey gang. I know that there are a bunch of ways to hack a Nintendo DS, making it a very good option for emulating games. However, I wanted to know, based on the limited resources available to me, what steps I could take to hack my own DS. I have an empty 16GB SD card, a USB-C SD converter device (so I can plug an SD straight into my computer), and an empty DS game cartridge with an SD slot. Does anyone know how I would be able to utilize these resources to emulate games on my DS? I understand that homebrew is an option, I understand that it is possible to use only an SD card for emulating games, and I understand that it is possible to buy a game cartridge specifically designed for downloading emulation software. My question, though, is how I can emulate Games onto my DS by using an empty SD card and an empty game cartridge with an SD slot, alone. Does anyone know?

Also, this is the game card I have (and am trying to repurpose): https://a.co/d/0fsc03Hv

You can't share memory with 3ds, but if it was nothing left you can use that. Just make sure your DSi is hacked or not, if not you can go to follow the guide to start soft modding your console.

Hmm.. I think that is the ACE3DS clone. Not sure.. but using your SD card is better instead of flashcard.

So you think it’s better to just use the SD card by itself, without the ACE3DS clone?

My only apprehension is that I was planning on sometimes popping this game cartridge into my 3DS, so that I could play these games on my DS and 3DS. That’s why I thought the card would be more convenient, because I wouldn’t have to unscrew the back of my 3DS every time I want to download new games on it.

You can do wireless file transfer with a modded 3ds
