No FAQ can be complete without the classic:

Q: Where do I download the ROMs on GBAtemp?

 

[Joey R.]

NDS-related questions:

1. Lite or Phat? Which should I buy?
2. What does "flashing" mean?
3. Should I flash my DS?
4. Which kind of flashcart should I buy, slot-1 or slot-2?
5. DS or PSP?

I've seen quite a lot these questions here in GBATemp over the time, but they are mostly found on "noobish" sites like GameFAQs

PS: As for the ROMs, everyone that has gone through the registration process MUST know that GBATemp doesn't host or give access to ROMs. You guys actually make newcomers write that down in order to complete their registration

It may be redundant to include a questions on this matter, because if someone still doesn't understand that talking about ROM sites is against the rules, it's because he is plainly dumb.

No FAQ can be complete without the classic:

Q: Where do I download the ROMs on GBAtemp?

A: Go to your broswer window and press ALT-F4. If that doesn't work, press the button that looks like it has a C- symbol on your computer tower and hold it down until you have ROMs.

Questions I do think should be on the FAQ. I was actually working on a FAQ of my own for this that I was going to start circulating among the friends I've been dragging to the flash cart scene. (If there's a place to send answers, I'd be happy to. It's a bit wordy for a post here.)

Q: How do you create ROMs for your GB, GBC, GBA, and DS games? (Not download, create, as in the cartridges I have on my shelf into ROM form).
Q: (Eventually discussing backup of save games you'd have to talk about SRAM vs Flash vs EEPROM on a GBA)
Q: How do I retrieve my save files from my commercially purchased games.

I also know there are a few other FAQs on the site. We should collect those into a FAQ section. i.e. "What programs do I use to emulate on the DS" and "Feature chart for popular Slot-1 and Slot-2 cards" are two that I have used.

We might also highlight a few of the better utilities for DS management, such as Rominator and Moonshell.
