U.S. roms on european NDS

Hi,

Just trying to find out if it's possible to play U.S. roms on a european NDS.

 

The Nintendo DS is not region locked. U, J, E, K, G, etc. They all work on all the DS.

 

Re: n/a

That's great, thanks for the info, I must be missing something then, I tried the arm7 injection but no joy, gonna have to look at other things I can do to make the rom work. Thanks.

 

try updating firmware for your cart from the manufacturers site before arm7 patch as this sometimes is all that is needed to allow games to run

 

Thanks, I'll go check the site, it was one of those xtreme 4gbit cards, it's also a ds lite, I think I said it was just a NDS, my apologies - would U.S. roms still play? I'll go check the card site and see if there's an update for the firmware. Thanks again, much appreciated.

 

all region nds roms will run as they are not region encoded but beware some roms for europe marked "E"may not allways be english

 

The one I'm trying to get working is game marked 'U' rather than the normal 'E' that I go for. I upgraded the firmware of the xtreme site from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 beta and tried the rom, no joy, then tried the arm7 using the same sim donor rom I've always used and still no joy. It keeps coming up with the error 'no save game could be found' and refusing to load :-(

I'll keep looking, thanks for all the replies and help, much appreciated.

edit: I just found the max crass method on this forum so gonna give it a try, will keep you posted.

 

You need to tell us what game it is exactly

Not just that it's U or E.

 

The game is:

3540 - Pokemon Platinum (U)(Xenophobia).rar

 

I got the game to work using the max crass method using dslazy but without having to use the max overload patcher as the forum guide said this isn't necessary. Just opened the rom, copied over the arm7 bin file and repacked the game.

It works a treat, thanks again to all who have helped.

 

does any region game (platinum in this case for US) work on a European DSI?

 

awesome...ok just now I downloaded Pokemon PLatinum.nds rom for tomorrow when I get my Acekard 2i...I can just loads it up on my EU dsi and it'll be fine right?

 

awesome thanks for your help
