    Hi... I'm completely new to Romulation, and am dabbling for the first time. Being an old git I'm trying to understand how it all works, so can anyone plz answer some simple questions for me...
    1. is it simply a case of downloading a game, then drag and dropping onto R4 card (NDS)
    2. does regions matter? (i'm in the uk)
    3. certain games appear to be blocked... can you request games anywhere?

    cheers

    1. Yes, for the most part (some games need patching, but not many)

    2. Region doesn't matter, you can play E, U, or J games

    3. Forum rules do not allow Nintendo DS game requests. If a game is not here, it hasn't been dumped yet. Or if a game is blocked, then Romulation has been asked to not provide that game for download, so you will need to find it elsewhere.

    ty...
    can you tell which games need a patch and where do i get those from?
    and regions dont matter, you say?

    sorry for 101 questions, but i'm a real old technophobic git

    Tirith,the ds downloads here are RAR files-so they have to be exracted first LOL.

    And I always go for US versions of games,as a lot of EUR versions are not in English.Its very difficult to know what buttons to press in funny languages

    We have all got to start somewhere-so dont worry.

    1.Keep a folder on your pc with all your DS roms you downloaded-it saves you downloading again if something goes wrong.

    2.Keep your carts firmware up to date-either from the site thats on the packaging that came with your cart or go to http://www.linfoxdomain.com/nintendo/ds/.

    Any other problems,post in the technical help section of this site.......
