Say, I was wondering if there was any other real differences between DS games and iQue DS games apart from the region locking, the obvious language change and the logo screen before the game boots. Anyone got any informations on this odd console?
"The iQue DS contains a larger firmware chip (the charset additionally contains about 6700 simplified chinese characters), the bootmenu still allows to select (only) six languages (japanese has been replaced by chinese). The iQue DS can play normal international NDS games, plus chinese dedicated games. The latter ones won't work on normal NDS consoles (that, reportedly simply due to a firmware-version check contained in chinese dedicated games, aside from that check, the games should be fully compatible with NDS consoles)."
Very little audience for it. A mere 5 full retail localized games, all of them hacked to run on flash carts.
Okay, thanks. I guess the firmware having chinese character explains why in download play mode, the title of the games uses @ and ! thanks for the info.
