The Nintendo DS, also known as the NDS, is considered as the number one handheld gaming console available in the market today. Sony Playstation portable or PSP has lost its number one position as the top handheld gaming console. In terms of sales and units moved Nintendo DS is now the number one. This fact has made NDS games a popular target for piracy.
So what are NDS Roms? NDS roms are basically copies of original NDS games . NDS roms can be easily downloaded from the internet and from there you can either play them on your Pc by using system emulators or transfer them to your handheld gaming system. NDS roms can be located easily online. All you have to do is go to Google, enter “NDS Rom” and within some seconds you will get a list of hundreds of websites offering these files. You will be surprised how many results you will get. Hundreds and even thousands.
While it may be enticing to go this route instead of buying the game from hobby shops and retailers, remember that you are violating a publisher and game developer’s copyrights.
As mentioned earlier, an NDS Rom is a pirated copy of an NDS game so this makes them illegal. Also, these games often have viruses attached to them, making them a security risk for your computer and also your NDS.
However, even if there is a multitude of websites offering these free roms, nothing has been done to completely stop them. This is most likely the reason why people, although they are aware of the fact that they are doing something illegal, they still go ahead and download them. Unless there is a complete crackdown on the software pirates who make them, NDS Roms will always be here to stay.
On the other hand you will also find legal NDS roms. The files I am talking about are either Nintendo DS homebrew games or demo version. And yes, they are perfectly legal. So if you really want to download NDS roms and safe some money, you have to be very careful. First of all you need to make sure that you are not downloading a pirated copy of a DS game. You also want to make sure you have an updated version of an anti-virus software installed on your computer and scan downloaded files carefully..
