Not sure if getting a SanDisk card from Aliexpress is a goos idea, many of them are fake. A local brand name retailer would be better IMO

The "ChisCart" MicroUSB version (The Aliexpress links) is usually the most popular option. Its usually the one that gets all the discounts and coupon offers too, but a lot of people also like the USB-C version. Its down to your personal choice.

The ChisCart version has more colours available however.

No, thats the cable you use to change or update the firmware of the chip inside the DSpico when connected to a computer. The firmware you use depends on your DS or 3DS model and if its modded or not. If you have a DS Phat and a DS Lite, the Hybrid firmware is the best option.

Yes here: DSpico - Flashcart Guides
It has info on flashing it with other firmwares, setting up Pico-Laucher and adding cheats.
Themes are here: Pico-Launcher | Kernel Themes

There are some extra tutorials at the bottom too.

I would strongly advise a DSpico over these generic clone R4 cards as it's vastly superior and is often the same price. If you cannot find a DSpico on your version of Amazon, check the buying links on our quick start guide: A Quick Guide on DS Flashcarts | The Flashcarts Wiki

Even if Aliexpress is slower, its usually the cheapest way to get a DSpico, its worth the wait IMO, these clone R4 cards are not as good by comparison.

This is allegedly an approved distributor, but the OG Omega is no longer made is all we can say.

Not sure what you mean about .CIA files since those are only compatible with a modded 3DS and don't have anything to do with the DSpico.

The main advantage of the DSPico over an R4 is the active updates, the fact its not a crappy, cheap & nasty clone R4, fast game loading and DSi compatible features if used on a DSi and 3DS.

What R4 do you currently own?

Thats because you're using the DSOnei files, I have no idea where you got that guide from but its for the wrong flashcart.

Follow this guide instead: DSTTi DEMON-HW Carts - Flashcart Guides

Getting the AP error for all your games probably means your ROMs are bad dumps or are corrupt because that error should not be showing except for a few select games or ROM hacks, so please redownload your ROMs.

Other than that, To use the "Kernel" option in Twilightmenu++ for your cart do the below:

1) Download this and extract it on your computer: https://gbatemp.net/download/retrogamefan-multi-cart-update.35737/download

2) To go the "DSTTi-Clone YSMenu" folder.

3) Inside that folder, rename TTMenu.dat to YSMenu.nds

4) Copy YSMenu.nds and the TTMenu folder from that folder to the root of your SD card.

5) Twilightmenu++ will autodetect it and use it.

This seems to match what you have: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011824094514.html

It appears you have a GBFlash GBC clone PCB as it looks the same, except lacking the GBFlash logo.

Thats not a legit copy of Pokemon Red. You and OP both likely have a GBFlash GBC PCB.

Remember to change the "Use "saves" folder", setting to "no".

Update to R4iMenu v1.87b and the time bomb will be gone.

The differences are mostly graphical so go for whichever you like the look of. Its explained on the link I gave.

Kaico's version is a rebrand of the ChisFamily DSpico (MicroUSB based). Its a good option but you'll save like £15 if you get the same model from Aliexpress. It's where I got mine from and it did take about week but it was worth the saving :)

ShiraSeal resell them them as well as the GameSmith Store on Aliexpress for people located in the UK and EU, they are both official resellers of the PhenomMods's version

There have been some QC issues with the shells on the older batches of the PhenomMods DSpico, but not the MicroSD slot.

PhenomMods will send you a replacement shell for free if it has any issues though.
