Nintendo DS
The Nintendo DS is a very popular handheld game console produced by Nintendo, released in 2004 in Japan and North America and 2005 for the rest of the world.
DS stands for “Dual Screen”, with this distinctive new feature to handheld games: two LCD screens working in tandem (the bottom one being a touchscreen).
Why are my DS games in a different language?
Sometimes you want to launch an NDS game, but the language doesn't match the one you set in Batocera (like by default, you have Spanish for many EU games). That's because the NDS emulator manages its own language.
To fix that, go to the ADVANCED SYSTEM OPTIONS for the NDS and set SKIP DS SYSTEM MENU to OFF. This will enable you to get into the Nintendo DS system menu and set the language you want to use for the games. You have to click on the tiny DS icon at the bottom center of the screen, and then the wrench icon to set the language.
Once this is done, you can set “Skip DS system menu” back to AUTO, the language you set will be used for all your games.
