Gaming NDS ROM complete list.

[TylerHartman]

I am SO confused. The wikipedia says there are 1847 DS games, however when I look on the piratebay at ROM sets it says that there are over 6000 DS ROMS.

Is there a list that has every release ever for the USA region?

The 6000 romset is likely 3 roms for each region (5541), bad dumps, and others like romhacks. that will equal over 6000.

you have to think about all the regions and different version per region.

So let's say you have 1847 games per region ... we got 3 major regions (USA, JPN, EUR), that's already 5541 ROMs.
Now there are special cases in EUR, where one game has a version for different languages, like Pokemon, it exists in german, spanish, french, italian etc.
Then you also have a few CHN region ROMs and also Demos and Betas. So 6000 ROMs makes sense as a number.

Different regions, versions, modded ones, so there definitely won't be just 1 per game

Wikipedia game lists are seldom complete. That said in addition to regions and bugfix/v1.? versions it might not count certain not quite retail games (if something was released in a magazine sort of thing), unofficial games (I don't know what goes for Diamond Trust of London), unreleased games and more that still play just fine.

In the Wikipedia list, Inazuma Eleven 1, 2 and 3 only released in Japan, but Inazuma Eleven 1 and 2 released in EUR.

I don't suppose there is a complete text/spreadsheet list of all ROMs along with their release number?

In addition to that, some ROMs get fixed releases (labeled PROPER).
http://rom-news.org/nds contains many releases but I don't know if it contains all releases and it doesn't have numbers.

I managed to grab a list from emuparadise using this linux bash script I wrote (in case anyone else would like a copy):

#! /bin/bash

y=001
z=100

for (( x=1; x<=9; x++ ));
do
   wget "http://s.emuparadise.org/Goodsets/Nintendo DS Roms 0$y - 0$z.txt"

   let y=y+100
   let z=y+99
done

for (( x=1; x<=56; x++ ));
do
   wget "http://s.emuparadise.org/Goodsets/Nintendo DS Roms $y - $z.txt"

   let y=y+100
   let z=y+99
done

cat *.txt >> dsROMlist.txt

Release numbers are a site by site affair with different sites taking different orders, skipping some, including others and generally diverging before too long.

Still
http://www.abgx.net/nds_releases_date.txt

http://datomatic.no-intro.org/ has dats which can be made into whatever you like.

http://www.advanscene.com/ also has dats which can do various things.

I didn't realize that (that not all rom sets are created equal). Good to know. Guess it's a good thing I ripped the emuparadise list, then

I will still check out those other sites, though. Thanks!
