Gaming DS - hard to find ROMs

[Lenks]

Hey guys, today I was searching for Legend of Zelda Four Swords Anniversary Edition ROM and was hard to get, so it give me an idea for a Topic where we can put such hard to get quality games that people probably won't know that they even exist.

p.s. This is not topic for download links, just a discussion.

There are various ROM sites that opt not to carry Nintendo first and second party titles under the assumption that it is usually Nintendo firing off lawsuits but that just makes them a mediocre site.

In this case four swords was a dsi exclusive (and I guess 3ds might have had something a bit later) which is probably then more a function of nobody cares about the DSi.

Anyway I don't know that there would be such a thing for the DS. Complete ROM sets for the DS are no particularly notable storage feat and was barely at the time.

You might have a harder time finding certain versions of translations, maybe a few hardware dumps, and certain betas or leaked versions, and maybe the GST patched ones would be not so easy to source but other than the betas nothing of great relevance really.


Now if you wanted to talk PS1, PS2, xbox and the like where games were one or more discs at the time and libraries even now would represent a storage setup I have to think about then there could well be ones that have essentially vanished. Stuff there would be things like the Scandinavian versions of tie in games -- https://web.archive.org/web/20180924024951/http://www.abgx.net/ has some good stuff and https://web.archive.org/web/20180920175549/http://www.abgx.net/xbox_releases_date.txt for some examples... if you can find 2005-09-16 NHL.06.SWEDiSH.PAL.XBOX-SVAMP you are probably doing well, or went to Sweden and got a copy from a bargain bin and dumped that.

Your Google-fu is weak, grasshopper. I found it in less than a minute. =P

Isn't that a DSiWare? Of course it won't be in a DS romset

You could try to download the .cia file, install it on citra, and rename the .app extension (the app itself) to .nds. Idk if citra allows that, but i might. I have seen somewhere that DSi dumps in .nds are usually converted .app files.
