-_- i see it everywhere but don't know what it means...

Anti-piracy, which is coded into some games to discourage people from pirating it.

"AP" means "Anti Piracy" is a hack-proof thing put on games in order to make them unplayable to people who pirate the game. Its usually broken within about a week or two depending on the game. (DS Games at least)

I felt its worth adding that the AP is always thwarted and I honestly don't see why they even bother anymore

 

[Infinite Zero]

Anti-piracy....

So they can tell people who invest in them and the companies that produce the games "Hey, see, we're trying!"

As far as NDS ROMs go it usually means Anti-Piracy. That is a method to combat the widespread piracy that exists on this game system among others.
