Installing “Mario Kart DS” on a DS Cartridge
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
it happened to me to be playing "Mario Kart DS" with my family in multiplayer mode.
We have 3 Nintendo DS and one Mario Kart DS cartridge.

There are 2 modes of playing that game, the Normal Mode (Which you can play just with other players having Mario Kart DS) and Simple Mode (Other players have to download the software using the bundled Nintendo software utility, you can use it to play multiplayer games when you don't have that specific cartridge)

Of course I could play just the Simple Mode since I don't have 3 cartridges.
I was asking myself, if there was a way I could play the Normal Mode without having to buy 2 more game cartridges (Of course normal mode is better because you have more tracks and fields to choose from).
I had an idea, if I took 2 unused Nintendo DS cartridges and I installed there Mario Kart DS I could achieve my target of playing that game mode all together.
The problem is, I don't know how to do that, because I surely need specific hardware to re-flash the game. I'm up for buying it, as long as I know how to go on from there.
Can anyone link a tutorial/explain me how to:
- Find the appropriate hardware to flash a Nintendo DS Game
- Erase and install a ROM over an old Nintendo DS Cartridge
- Download link for the Mario Kart DS ROM (European version)

No, there isn't. That's piracy. We cannot help with things like that.
