Saved games are stored where?

[DevMountain]

Hi all,

I bought 2 NDSs last week for my kids, and asked in the shop about where the saved game informatio is stored - I was told on the console.

I thought "Cool that means that they can share games and not worry about overwriting each others saved games".

However, when putting one cartridge from the first NDS into the second, the other NDS's saved game is available

Can you save game data to another location or does it have to be the cartridge?
Is there any way around this issue? I don't want to have to buy two copies of every game!

they save to the cartridges, if you want to save more than once to the same game i suggest you get an action replay, it allows you to backup a save from a game to your PC and then wipe it from the game so someone else can play it. You can then get saves back from your PC using the same software. I think they offer the possibility of downloading saves from the net too for difficult games, hope that helps.
