DraStic

Hello!

This is my first post, and I apologize if this has already been asked, but I wasn't able to find it on the forums.

I'm planning on buying on of the NDS Pokemon games so that I can play it on DraStic, as I understand that's the only way for the emulator to accept the ROM (this is correct, right?)

However, my issue is that I cannot seem to find a tutorial online with instructions on how to get the rom from the card, on to my computer. How does one go about this?

Is there a trustworthy tutorial online somewhere? So far I've just found information about backing up saves, which is fine, but not terribly helpful for me right now.

Thanks in advance,
FWS

In order to get ROMs from game cards you either need:

1) A Nintendo DS and a flashcart, or
2) A USB backup device

This thread explains in detail how to do it:

They recommend SMS4 (https://www.amazon.com/SMS4-times-speed ... B004FBIZC0) - even though it's advertised for backing up save games it can dump DS ROMs too.

Excellent! Thanks so much.
