    Hi,

    This really stumped me; it took me about an hour to find relevant information (maybe due to looking in the wrong places). After some checking, it seems that NDS rom naming follows GoodCodes convention. If you have a rom with [M#] in the title, it means that it is a multilanguage rom, with # being the number of languages present inside the rom.

    Now, don't get too excited, people that want to play cutting-edge RPGs from Japan in English ::) This doesn't necessarily mean that a JPN rom will be released with multiple languages; on the contrary. It's usually only European releases (PAL) have multiple languages present, for whatever reason. Most of the time, US releases are English only, and JPN releases are Japanese only. It's the Europeans that get the multiple language ROMs.

    For example, Arkanoid DS has English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch present; it's tagged as M5 because it is an English release, but has 5 other languages present. I *think* that's why it wasn't tagged as M6 ???

    Glad I went searching for that; made me aware of what that tag means, too.

    Hope that helps.

    Yes the number after the M represents the number of languages in game.

    ^ question answered :)

    vinniesgirl in the future please name your topics properly. "Help" doesnt help anyone, firstly no one knows what you want help with untill they enter the topic, and secondly anyone who wants to know the same information is more likely to find it if the topic is named correctly :)
