I haven’t actually done any of this, ever. My 2DS XL is coming next week with a couple of original games and I was planning to dump said games onto a flashcart so I can have them all on the go. I am completely new to this ‘flashcart’ scene and I have read several threads saying that it is completely legal to own a flashcart as long as no roms downloaded from the internet are on it. But is it legal to dump your own games, to then re sell the original ones. Virtually enabling me to play original games for free.
It doesn’t seem right at all, but I haven’t found anyone directly saying that this is illegal. I have read the official legal document outlining Nintendo’s stand on ROMS (which didn’t mention flashcarts, but did allow the backing up of files).
If I were to go through with this, is there any way for an authority (e.i. Nintendo) to verify that the dumped games are indeed from my collection, even if I don’t have the original game cartridges any more.
I am not even sure if I’ll do this, even if it’s legal.
ps. I need flashcart recommendations. I was thinking R4i gold but if you have any better ones lmk.
Also, this is pretty dumb but I just want to make sure. Can I play flashcart games even in a new clean system with no mods/hombrew apps?
