How do I open an Nintendo DS ROM file?

[Zaxx]

I own the game New Super Mario Bros. DS I want to open the rom file to look at some of the sprite sheets and some other stuff. I own the game so I don't think I can get in trouble about it.

It's piracy to download a ROM for any game, even if you own it. You have to rip the game yourself. I don't think there are a lot of people on this forum who know how to rip a Nintendo DS game.

Wow thanks, anyways is there a way to rip the beta sprites from the rom? Or would I have to get some expensive ds cartridge reader to rip them?

But nobody said anything about downloading the ROM's, they're just talking about opening them which is perfectly okay
