2. Well...
If you want to extract songs from your actual game, you'll need a slot-2 flash cart with a homebrew capable of doing that. Seeing as I have a slot-1 card, I can't really help with the details.
However, if you were to load a dumped .nds of the game, you would need a raw 8mb save file (yes, the game uses saves that big) that specifically works for the game (anyone here could give you one). However, you CAN NOT download songs on a dumped game, but you CAN put dumped songs (.bdx files, and .bbs files (from original DBB)) on that raw save via bdxtool or Degausser. Generally Degausser is better but some older computers (like mine) can't run it. Then you'll need a pack of songs, which you can get here, and add them to the save via the program.
If you do decide to get an actual copy and a slot-2 flash cart, be sure to drop us any .bdx files you get that we don't already have
And if you do that, I would suggest making sure you ONLY download songs that we don't have .bdx files of, since, having a flash cart, you could just load the .bdx files and not waste a download slot.
KEEP IN MIND
YOU CAN NOT EVER DELETE SONGS
EVER
PERIOD
YOU ONLY GET 100
So use them wisely
I should had mention that I know about the whole thing. I have been playing the rom since it was release. That's why I want to get my own REAL copy of the game so I can download songs.
That's why I ask which slot-2 flashcart and software I need before buying the game. If you or anybody know I would appreciate it.
BTW, I read on another forum that you can download more than 100 song IF...
1. You are the only person using it (lol no duh)
2. Don't download a whole bunch of songs everyday when you reach past 100 songs (you CAN delete songs by dumping the save and deleting the downloaded songs). This is the reason why download works on the rom at the beginning but stop because Nintendo saw thousands of people downloading songs from the same cart ID (or whatever it's called).
Incorrect, sorry.
You CAN NOT DOWNLOAD MORE THAN 100, PERIOD.
Deleting them from a dumped save DOES NOT MATTER.
Here's how it works.
Every single copy of the game has a unique ID code.
Nintendo's Wi-Fi service keeps a log of these ID codes.
Lets say, just for example, your legit cart's ID code is 5550022.
You go and download 20 songs, putting you at 80 remaining.
Every time you downloaded one, your cart basically said "This is 5550022, I'm downloading Song A, I have 80 songs remaining to download"
Nintendo's computers check "Yes, 5550022 does indeed have 80 songs remaining according to our database. You can download."
But lets say you got down to 0 left, and deleted to delete some from the dumped save of your legit cart. You now have 20 songs free, according to your song list in the game.
You go on Wi-Fi and your cart says "Hello, this is 5550022, I have 20 songs remaining, I'm gonna go get this song and-"
But Wi-Fi notices something odd! 5550022 actually has ZERO songs remaining! 5550022 tried to cheat the system!
5550022 is now banned from Wi-Fi
You cannot cheat it.
And the reason why you can't download from the dumped ROM is because it has a single ID, and when it was first dumped, a bunch of people tried to get some songs, and the ID quickly hit 100. It is now maxed out and banned from Wi-Fi.
