Is something up with the Nintendo DS Roms?
Posted by gauzzarchiver on .
As a fun experiment, I took some Nintendo DS cartridges I had recently bought and extracted the .nds roms to my computer. Then, I compared the roms I extracted myself to the ones on this website, and they're exactly the same except for file size. My cartridge of Mario 64 DS had a 15 megabyte rom in it, while the one on this website is 16.8. I checked the MD5 hash of the files and they were completely different. For Mario Kart DS, my file was 25.6 MB and Vimm's was 33.6 MB. For the sake of slightly reduced bandwith costs, should the website use these lower size files?
