Gaming NDS Roms

[CookiesMilk]

When I download some NDS roms, the name of the rom file sure got something like xenophobia, venom, trashman etc... What's that?

 

[elixirdream]

they are the dumpers
groups that make the game available to us
be grateful

 

[RupeeClock]

That's the release group that released the rom onto the scene.
Go look at the Scene release lists sometime, and read the NFOs attached to the posts.

What about (Clean)? I never see this group name before.. Do you guys ever see it?

 

[bason230]

Uh.. Clean means the rom hasn't been patched or trimmed, not touched at all. It's obvious.

 

[CookiesMilk]

oh, i thought itz the group name that dump the game

Sometimes you'll also see (M3) on the filename as well, such as 4522_-_The_Legend_of_Zelda_Spirit_Tracks_(E)(M5)(XMS)

4522 = Release number
(E) = Region, European in this case
(XMS) = Release group
(M5) = Multi-language, in this case it has 5 different languages available to choose from

Also, please do remember that this site is not for asking for ROMS or providing them either. Google really goes a long way for that.

And if you see multiple files, you want the one with [!] in it, that's the recommended good one.
