I was on WFC playing Mario Kart just a few minutes ago with my shinny DS lite. Oh how sweet it is.

My understanding is that the incompatibility arises due to the game card itself though, and that the DS hardware doesn't care which region a game comes from. Presumably a US/Euro copy of <em>Animal Crossing</em> would generate US/Euro-compatible Friend Codes even if it was playing in a DS from Japan. I hope so anyway. Hey Joshin,

I will try to ask him if there are any other incompatibilites that he is aware of since he does game localization from English to Japanese.
