One of the reasons I got an M3 Real is because I don't want to carry my many DS games on trips and easily keep track of my games (just keep the cartridges in the DS and keep the rumble pack in a case). I've tried searching on google, but only find sites for ROMs.

Thanks in advance.

If I back up my own games, I know the dumps are good and not going to f**k up on me.
Also, I'm in some awkward situations where *gasp* I can't access the net. Sometimes I'm on the road, or my home connection raps out on me.

I searched "how to backup DS games" on teh g00glez and found this on the first page, you must not have looked very hard:

I think you're putting too much effort in. Leave it to the "pros" and just download the ROMs of the games that you own. Seriously, what could possibly go so wrong with a ROM that it would "f**k up on" you? Nothing.

Lolol, I searched for "NDS ROM dump tutorial."

and that's all you tried to search? as stated, if you own it, just grab the rom dump. it's faster, and less of a headache.

the real question is... how to get your save games over :) I did that once for brain age... but had to use the GBA style rom cards w/ a passkey.

I tried searches like: "How to dump NDS ROMs", "NDS ROM dump tutorial", and "dump NDS ROMs." Basically, I tried to have the words "ROM" and "dump."

Eh, I don't really care about my game saves. My philosophy is, if a game is fun enough, I'll play through it again.

thats what i ended up doing.

my daughter has a bunch of games (nintendogs, cats, some horse one, dora etc) and she kept loseing them.

when i got my DS light it came with a passme card. i was able to get all her games and dump them on a mem card. this way she does not take out the card and always ahs her games.


though i am against pirating games. they shouldnt make it so damn hard to legely make backups.
