Do DS games have PAL versions, period? Is that your question?

Yes, they do. You're right that the resolution and framerate don't change, but PAL versions are made to have additional languages not used in America, to adjust American English into British English, and sometimes to fix bugs.
He should use the PAL Version for GCGP.

I have been this entire time, even since the beginning of development.
Also, there are no speed advantages, or anything to using a certain region of the game. The frame rate, ect is the same across all regions.
DS doesn't even have any region lock. Honestly the EU, and US versions are merely ROM hacks of the JP version, since they're all so similar.

As a matter of fact, the only reason that I have to use the EU version is because that's the version of the game most ASM hacks are made for, and that's only because the people that make them happen to live in the regions where that version was sold.

Plus there's not any slow down, I test on real hardware all the time, and if I put the tracks in any other region, they'd run exactly the same way, I've done that before, even.

Okay nice! Maybe if you want, I can translate the game to German (I'm German). I know that the EU Version already has German translations but you added different tracks, karts, etc. and the names are different in Germany.

He says in his FAQ, that he'll release it, when it's done.

So, I have a question.

What is going to happen with the retro tracks? Because they weren't in DD. Are you gonna make custom tracks by yourself or are they gonna be the retro tracks DS already has?

They're disabled, you can't select them in the menu thanks to modifications made in the game's programming.
In short: they're just gone. We've thought about how you'll unlock things as well, everything is covered.

We've already been planning translations to multiple languages.
Translations will likely not be out sourced, we actually have a member on the team from Germany.

Japanese, Spanish, and German translations are indeed planned.
Along with 2, or more other potential languages.
