Gaming US/EU games on Jap ds lite

[ninfas]

If I buy a Japanese verson of ds lite, can I use a R4 card or dstwo card to play PAL and US game backups?

Will there be any problems with the Japanese language menu on the console?

Thanks

The DS, as far as I know, is region free. I have a EUR DSi and I am able to play USA games. Go for it!

Yeah, the Phat and Lite are both region free, so there shouldn't be a problem with that.

Most editions of the ds and ds lite support the same six languages. If you already own a ds lite from your country, just set the menu to Japanese.

There's also Chinese and Korean firmwares with minor differences.
Five region-locked carts were released for the ique ds. (the roms can be patched for a regular ds)

dsi and 3ds complicate matters. Depending on the model, the system languages available to ds games varies considerably.
