Boring stuff:
I extracted the demo from the US version (Maboshi's Arcade), but as you can see, the title screen shows the UK title (MaBoShi: The Three Shape Arcade), and the internal filename for the compressed game is "LZ77_mbs_dsEU.srl", so it looks like the devs got lazy and never bothered to make a version specific to the US release (hence my suggested filename above using "(E)" for its region). The internal title looks like it hasn't been changed from the Japanese version, and is given as ??????? ??????? (Katachi no Game: Maru Bou Shikaku), however all in-game text is in English. Its serial is the generic "NTRJ" used in all Download Play demos I've encountered. Its icon is a representation of the three game modes, and it looks like this:

I don't quite agree. I also got myself a US wad and I saw two srl files which are:
LZ77_mbs_dsUS.srl
and
LZ77_mbs_ds.srl

The internal titles are indeed both Japanese, but for in-game language, the US one is in English and has a US title. The one without US runs in Japanese.( Both games ran on my Acekard 2i, iQue DS Lite, system language set to Chinese.)

I created a custom skin for Delta emulator on iOS so we can play MaBoShi DS in style.

https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/202...he-delta-classic-video-game-emulator-for-ios/

- combines both screens into one
- normal portrait iPhone orientation
- leaves a gap at the top for notch/dynamic island
- nice big d-pad in the centre of the display
- most of the screen is actually a button
- let's aim for 1 MILLION points!
