Hello all,
I tried posting in the noob thread, but due to the popularity of other questions I believe my own inquisitions were lost. Anyways, I have been doing extensive research on 3DS roms, but I have had a lot of difficulty with a few things.
1) What is a 3DS ROM file extension? (.3ds, .3dz, etc)
2) When downloading ROMs, what should I expect to find? (zipped files? with what extensions? do I need decryption software beyond the basic for .zip files?)
3) How do I tell the region and type of ROM file, since this is not generally stated? (eShop vs original cartridge)
4) And lastly, why can I not seem to find ANY legitimate ROM sites for .3DS files readily? I know that some of the major sites have taken a blow recently. Do I need to be using a proxy for a different country? (I currently reside in the USA).
