Hello I was recently in the process of modding Mariokart ds and upon checking the rom (which I had dumped from my cartridge it reads NTR-AMCE-AUS it was also bought in a local Australian store) I found that the rom loaded onto the cartridge is indeed American this isn’t an issue as original ds games aren’t region locked but I was just curious why it is like this
From everything I've seen, the rom should be identical between the two. There is a slight difference in the stick. The real US version should have the ESRB rating on the left side, a red Nintendo logo beside of that, and the Nintendo seal of quality on the right. The Aussie version should only have the Nintendo seal of quality on the left and the red Nintendo logo on the right. And obviously, if you got the box, it should have your country's rating on the front.

Dyslexia kicked in the first time I looked at this. The US version of the game has a serial of NTR-AMCE-USA instead of NTR-AMCE-AUS. I'm pretty sure you've got the right game for your region, not that it really matters too much.

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
