    ok, i haven't found a straight answer to this question, ok here it goes:

    can you replace information from a retail cart with a different game, would this work or would the retail card throw it out and not work anymore, since i want to test a theory ^__^

    cant say what but i want to see if it can be done first

    A DS cart? I don't think you can copy anything to them

    Roms are called roms because ROM stands for "read-only memory". This means that you cannot write to (ie change) what data is stored on the chip.

    I'm not sure but it definitely doesn't replace the game. At best you can copy (converted) flashcart save files to retail carts.
