[FicticiousAnimation]

Is the gremlins game even a thing? If so then someone point me to where I can get it.

You can get it on Ebay.

I hope some games was released few years ago will dumped before Nintendo DS will expired soon.

In addition to this thread and the no-intro thread: there are also all the Japanese demo carts that are not dumped.

What about Lode Runner? I tried googling the rom but I can only find the Japanese version

Was it ever released in the US/Europe/outside Japan?
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/934968-lode-runner/data does not list it outside Japan and while far from infallible I am not seeing any other indicators. It was also once our game of the week ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/gbatemp-game-of-the-week-62.331382/ ) and I would like to believe I would have seen it for that. Hudson have since merged with/been taken over fully by Konami so I have not got their site to look at.

If you just want to play it and an emulated version will not do you are far from without options
A menu translation (which as it is lode runner it is all you really need) of it was done.

A very nice homebrew version was also done by Alekmaul which you can still find

The game crashes upon loading the save file

 

[FAST6191]

An existing one or in general for a new game? Sometimes hacked games mess with existing saves for whatever reason (usually text encoding mismatches) so if you played some of the Japanese one then try deleting the save.
Also what flash cart? I imagine it is the R4i Gold RTS from your signature but we have to ask. There have been flash carts in the past that wanted a save file made, though I am not aware of any DS slot ones that care for such things.

I deleted my save (because I didn’t play that far) before trying the patched game, and when I click “continue” the game freezes on a black screen (the same happens when I choose “Save and continue” after completing a level). However the game loads just fine, and I am able to start a new game. And yes, the flashcart I’m using is the one in my signature.

Is there an updated version of this list?

For the most part then No-intro's lists are probably where it is at

https://wiki.no-intro.org/index.php?title=Undumped_Games_Lists#DS.28i.29

For the main three regions (the link above covering the rest)
https://wiki.no-intro.org/index.php?title=Nintendo_-_Nintendo_DS(i)_USA_undumped
https://wiki.no-intro.org/index.php?title=Nintendo_-_Nintendo_DS(i)_Japan_undumped
https://wiki.no-intro.org/index.php?title=Nintendo_-_Nintendo_DS(i)_Europe_undumped

Korea has some interesting things and there might have been some sub revisions in North America (For other systems we tend to see games with French for Quebec up around that area but in the southern states they might have a revision with Spanish in, the 360 being notorious for this), however for the most part there is nothing but a few revisions and questions about some games. If you are about the playing of games then consider everything dumped. I don't think we have any "this specific revision for a specific bug for a type of speedrun" stuff going on but such scenes are still young so who knows. The DS was otherwise big enough and ugly enough with a coordinated enough scene that people did not let things slide like some older ones.

So revisions are normal games that were re-released later and contained bugfixes? Is there a list of all revisions for the few rare NDS games that have revisions? (well, non-shovelware, I don't think I've seen revisions for AAA games)

 

[FAST6191]

Bugfixes or additional censorship (Zelda Ocarina of Time on the N64 is probably the best example of the sorts of thing that happen https://tcrf.net/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time/Program_Revision_Differences and https://zeldawiki.info/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time#Version_differences ), and in the case of Japan a few games also got wifi added where they might not have had it for the first revision (recall that wifi was not available from the start and was added in later, indeed games carry a firmware update to enable it on those that did not ship with it).

As far as a list for the DS then not sure what goes there. You are lucky if you get a nice Japan-not Japan differences list and that is mostly for the popular games like megaman and pokemon. People doing most of the stuff here tend to be more from the speedrun side of things, though TCRF above might have a few things. I would like to believe I would have heard if there were big positive or negative tweaks in such things (while I didn't follow the closest in some of the later years the releases discussions were big enough to note in this) but I can't say I did, though at the same time people did not care so much. I don't know what it would have cost developers to do but as most such things presumably happened when they did a second spin or something then they only had to send a new ROM along.
http://www.abgx.net/nds_releases_date.txt has a text list of all the releases.
Most times the v1.1 or v01... status would be noted in the name to stop it from being called a dupe. If you want a search term then _v has a whole bunch of false positives (Mario_Party_DS_Demo_Version_USA_NDS-SirVG for instance) but at the same time should grab more of the different version numbers to use as a jumping off point for an investigation.

You mean dumped ones? Yes, in the No-Intro database (which also includes non-scene dumps). As FAST6191 said, TCRF documents these differences and so do speedrun communities.
