Hacking Ripping Daigasso! Band Brothers Request Selection

[darrenwongster]

I have searched on the forums and I hope I am posting this in the correct section.

For those of you who play "Daigasso! Band Brothers" , you may know that there is an expansion to it called "Daigasso! Band Brothers Request Selection" which consists of additional songs. The expansion is available only in a GBA Cartridge form which is meant to be plugged into Slot 2 of the DS and is only playable when the main game cartridge is inserted at the same time in Slot 1.

I am using an R4 to play the main game. I have just ordered the original "Daigasso! Band Brothers Request Selection" (I can't seem to find the rom anywhere on the net)

My 1st question is : Is it possible to use an application like "Rudolph's NDS Backup Tool V0.31" or any other recommended ones, to rip the Slot cartridge? After that, do I just copy the ripped iso into the games folder on my R4 where I have the main game iso of "Daigasso! Band Brothers" stored? Will it work this way?

2nd question is: For a R4 user, what is the recommended application to use for ripping original DS games into iso image?
( I happen to be in Tokyo atm and just saw the official release today (26th June 2008) of "Daigasso! Band Brothers 2". I am going to buy it tomorrow instead of waiting another few days for it to become available on the net :-P )

Thank you

Rudolph has a GBA backup tool that should rip it. Never used it myself. You won't be able to play a backup of the request selection on the R4, you will need a slot-2 cart for that. It works for me using CycloDS and EZ 3in1. Theres a hacked version out that has the resquest selection songs on it anyway. Seeing as you said you just ordered the game then i wouldn't worry about it really as you will have to official cart to play them from.

Btw the ROM is dumped, most sites listed it as an XXXX release as it's not an official retail cart, look for
Daigasso_Band_Bros_Request_Selection_JPN_NDS-TRM

Thanks for the tip Triforce. I can't seem to find the hacked version of Daigasso Band Brothers with the Request Selection already included. This game is quite old and several links for it are dead already :-(

Can anyone suggest which application to use so I can rip the "Selection Request" gba cartridge and combine it to the Main game ISO, such that I can play it direct from R4, without the need to use a slot 2 device like the EZ 3-in-1?
