   * **Languages/Language Select**: Some games either show a language selection screen at startup or in the game options. Note that it is possible to submit a game without checking the languages, but this then needs to be stated in your submission.   * **Languages/Language Select**: Some games either show a language selection screen at startup or in the game options.

     *  Tip: Using an emulator like Desmume can speed up the language checking dramatically since you can switch the BIOS language in the emulator settings much faster than on a real DS. You can hold down the tab key to speed up emulation.     *  Tip: Using an emulator like Desmume can speed up the language checking dramatically since you can switch the BIOS language in the emulator settings much faster than on a real DS.

 +  * **Physical Media Serial 2**: Secondary serial. For most carts, this is an optional "REV X" or "REV-X" (where X is a letter) on the top-right of the back label. For DS/3DS/Switch, its a serial on the back of the cart.
 +  * **Physical media stamp**: For most carts, this is two numbers imprinted on the top-left or top-right of the back label (front label for GB/GBC/GBA), possibly followed by an A or B. May need to view under a light source. Doesn't exist on DS/3DS/Switch.

 +  * **ROM Chip Serial**: You may not want to open the cart, as its possible the plastic will break or that the cart won't be easy to put together again. However this hasn't been tested thoroughly. The ROM chip serial isn't so important for DS/3DS as the pertinent info is also written on the outside of the cart.
