3ds pokemon gen 4 and 5 download play issue

Hi everyone,

I tried to find an answer on existing posts but found mixed opinions so sorry if this is already been answered, i didn’t find the answer.
So i have two modded 3ds consoles, on one im running pokemon white and on the other pokemon white 2, both through nds forwarder. When i try to use the download play functions (for example memory link) it starts fine but after the content is downloaded a message that says “game inserted is not compatible” appears on the console running white 2.
I read on another posts that the download play function works with flashcarts cause it emulates the phisical original cartridge for the ds, and that this issue happens because there is no physical cartridge inserted.. but somewhere else i saw a comment that says that this works with nds bootstrap too (which is the the one booting the games in my case) but it is not working for me..
Can you please share your experiences with me and help me calrify what is wrong?
Also if this cannot work, what would be the cheapest alternative.. i suppose getting a flashcart? (Which one?)
My goal is to be able to use all the content gen 4 and 5 pokemon games have to offer in the most authentic way possible without using save editors or cheats, i just want the most realistic feeling with the most authentic hardware. I know the best way would be to own original cartridges of all the games, but i cannot afford to spend a fortune on second hand, possibly fake or half-functioning cartridges, so im looking for the closest alternative.
Thank you all for your time and best regards!
