^^ That's a common misconception about carts. Carts aren't stored on the type of flash memory cells that are in SD Cards. Carts are etched in a printing process that is ridiculously cheap by comparison. I called this far in advance as a feasible option anyway :

It's an easy mistake to make, because people are very familiar with the SD cards, but that's not what the DS/3DS/etc use for retail games. Mask Roms. They also have the benefit of lasting far longer than flash memory, and are more reliable. Minuses : not rewritable.
