Are these both legit?
They have the same text on the packside but it's really faded on one. They both are able to get stuff from GBA carts and they show up on the latest 3ds firmware

my way of seeing the legitimacy of a DS game is by reading the NTR tag thing at the bottom of the label. to me they seem to be legit.

going by this image, your text looks a lot similar to the real cartridges

Yeah. I've tried finding more EU images but there aren't many. The number on the back is really faded on one though. Do you know what the number on the PCB means?

I don't know much about european DS games but they look real to me, the backs and boards are what you expect to see

It's generally US carts that are more likely to be fake as those are the ones reproduced the most. But worth a check.

I'm confident the one on the left is definitely real, it's faded because it's probably been used a lot. The nintendo ds logo bottom square looks weird like it's supposed to on a legit cartridge. I can't see that properly on the right one so I'm a little suspicious, and the fact it doesn't look like it's been used either.

I can give a definitive answer if you could take photos of the top of each cartridge so i can see if they have notches or not

To add to that, here's the front of my legit EU copy, I'll add the back and top photos as well

You only need to check the first 4 digits of the serial number and make sure they match the front, in this case APAP

This is what i mean by the notches on the top, if it doesn't have these and the cartridge is just 2 bits of plastic glued together then it's fake. If it has this then as long as everything else matches it's 100% real! Sorry for the wall of text, hope that helps

The diamond's NTR tag looks the same in the counterfeit and normal, wow.

The sticker is sometimes a good way to check but the fakes are getting better at copying them so it's not always the best way, checking the actual cart itself is better.

Another thing the fakes often get wrong is that they mess up the embossed patent thing on the back of the cart, a legit one has a space between ""PAT. PEND" but fakes sometimes have "PAT.PEND"

the diamond and pearl carts i bought a few years ago get often caught on my 3DS's and ds lites' springs in their cart slots
is that a tell for a reproduciton or something? they both read authentically as opposed to registering as a spongebob game or something like other obvious repros do
